Dear Azfar, I think your units are lovely, very sophisticated and much nicer than white. Your units and work tops are very similar to those I have in my kitchen, which also have black granite tops. I also have a wooden floor of a similar shade, please don't change this, it is lovely. I was aware when I had my kitchen fitted that the units appeared darker than in the showroom but this was due entirely to the colour of the walls they were installed on. To lift the units, and celebrate their beautiful colour, you should paint your walls a darker and contrasting colour, I have chosen a really shocking pink, Rock Candy, but there lots of options. The showroom I saw my units in used a burgundy colour, too dark for my Victorian kitchen. There are so many colour options which don't have to be expensive, play around with a few tester pots and see which you prefer. This is by far the cheapest option, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with your kitchen units again once your units are allowed to stand out. Incidentally your unit colour helps to visually integrate your stainless steel 'fridge, another reason to stick with it. If you want to add units in the future you could pick up on your new wall colour for a very stylish look.

I would go with a darker grey on the base cabinets, then pick up the warm tones through brushed brass hardware. I think if you try to use a light grey to match the tile accent the colour scheme will end up looking rather muddled and blah.

Before you get the paint brush out - add some top lights to the wall cabinets - allowing warm light to bounce up to the ceiling and back down again . You might find that lifts the feel of the place without all the effort of re painting doors .

Difficult decision. I have dove grey fascias. It’s veryyyy close to slate grey and I love the colour because it’s so neutral. Having said that I do like charcoal too but wouldn’t choose it for my own kitchen. Out of the two colours dove grey (slate grey) is the most popular seller.
