Hi, I had my kitchen tiled in this bronze mirror tiles. We started to paint the cabinets white and will replace the handles with new stylish silver handles. The all white looks a bit hard now. Curtains are striped roman blinds in silver, bronze and black. Any suggestions are welcome.

Need help for height measurement of kitchen cabinets.
Comments (9)Starter molding is a flat piece of wood that is usually 3 or 6" high and you can mount other moldings to the face of. Like Sequins, I'd suggest you work with a professional. It's our job to come in, take measurements, and give you drawings of what you're looking for. You may find that with such high ceilings, your wall cabinets end up looking too heavy or the kitchen costing thousands more than you were expecting. You would also need to consider how you're going to reach them. One solution would be installing a rolling ladder. If you decide to leave the space open above, placing lighting above them is a great alternative....See MoreNeed help for our kitchen, blue cabinets, what floor and work surface?
Comments (3)Hello Ben, There are lots of alternatives to wood. How about granite, quartz or conglomerate marble? Conglomerate marble is more durable than standard marble, which is great for kitchens to reduce any possible staining or scratches. Granite and quartz are both very durable, non-porous materials and popular choices for kitchen worktops, too. Not to mention all three materials will last you a life time. We have hundreds of samples of these materials, but please feel free to explore your colour options by looking at the samples on our website here: http://www.diespeker.co.uk/materials/ (simply expand the tabs). If you're looking for a light worktop we'd recommend: quartz QU011 and QU078 and conglomerate marble CG028 and CG025. Good luck!...See MoreNeed help for my kitchen
Comments (7)If you want a more integrated country look, have your kitchen professionally spray painted in a pale grey or white after rehanging the wall units so that they are all level. Replace the light pelmet to something plainer. The worktop around the sink has gone quite dark from the constant presence of water. Consider having all the tops replaced with oak to coordinate with your floor. Wood knobs or pewter handles will complete the cabinetry. Remove the tiles and replace with patchwork tiles to give you more colour. Make sure you pick up the cabinet colour and the floor colour in the tiles. http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod44324/batik-patchwork-blue-tile.html Paint the remaining walls with a pale colour to keep the room light....See Moreneed help to choose kitchen wall colour
Comments (20)I would choose something very close to that deep red/rust/plum (can't quite work out what it is) in the granite. It looks as if that colour is also in the tea towel on the right (hanging on the handle in front of the oven). Everything else is so light I think the room would take it well and it would give it wow factor. You need a warm colour, as someone else has said, to tone with the cream of the cabinets and the granite....See More

9 years agoHi all. I found this pic on pinterest while searching for the right colour. If I look at the bricks which is quite similar to the bronze, I think a greyish/blue for part of the cabinets wood look great. Agree with ammelee, earthy colours does not look good with the bronze as it makes the bronze fades away as it is on the same side of the colour wheel. em2020 the store I bought them from could not gave any advise. I will go to afabric shop tomorrow with a left over sheet of tiles and white drawer front. Keep helping pse!

9 years agoHI i would start by adding the bronze handles see how that changes the overall look and see if it is enough to tie the room together. have a lok at these handles they would work very well. I've also added some pictures where you can see the soft earthy colours do work with the bronze if you still feel you need more. Look at Farrow and Ball possibly Off White which has a subtle beige tone and could work.

9 years agoHi all. I am done with my kitchen thanks to all of the Houzzer friends. I still need to install the two wooden shelves above the zink and I am waiting for stock to replace the top cabinets handles as the square handles I bought is to small. I will replace themwith the same as the bottom ones. I must mention that i could not find bronze handles anywhere in SA so i bought stainless steel and spray painted with RustOLeum. can you notice that the top cabinets is painted in a very light grey. Any more recommendations are welcome
