Reply to: All those close to the ceiling the same > The stiarwell one at least similar colors for matal and honestly I see no decor crying out for crystal Love the LR lamps so maybe that brass for the others some how .For mw only 2 lights need to be dramatic that is the stairwell and the DR all the others are bit players so I think thta is why I love the LR ones. elegant but understated

Q

Reply to: I have never bought or suggested all appliances form one maker there is no maker that makes all well. I like the samsung fridge inn plain old stainless then get range, or what ever cooking appliance you need, thta works for how you cook in plain old stainless then a good DW my 1st choice always Bosch. You need major work on lighting no fan in a kitchen only venting for the cooking appliance . Love the color of the cabinets BTW

Q

Reply to: I'd prefer the stainless appliances, the black is pretty dark for a small space. Yes, to the subway tile but light with a burnished edge to lighten it all up a bit. Paint the walls and ceiling light, like SW Alabaster as a good start to sample colors. Replace the ceiling fan with a semi flush light fixture... where is the Coffee bar?

Q

Reply to: It would be good to see the space .60 watt lights are done and gone you use LED bulbls I like 4000K for task light , So further toward the middle then 10" and you want the whole island lit so make sure 2 will be enough

Reply to: Flex dryervents are not to code, the water line shut offs have to be reachable no matter how fancy the laundry room is. Not sure about the 220 and the plugs on the upper wall what are they for ? Yes they need backplates . Get a proper installer before you really have issues.

Reply to: From past experience, I can guarantee you'll get much better design help here than you will in a cabinet showroom. If you provide the detailed floor plan Jan asked for, what your restrictions are-such as keeping the island configuration the same because it's not in budget to replace flooring-you'll get invaluable advice. One big restriction to going to the ceiling with cabinets is whether or not it's in your budget, or even possible, to move your hvac out of your soffit, as mentioned earlier by Design Interior South.

Reply to: Do this: Draw and measure the kitchen you HAVE, All the wall, window, openings, Use graph paper. A version of this, WHERE you note every inch You note the ISLAND, how far from counter and openings, and windows You ADD more JPEGS with the lights on, in broad daylight, Every single ange. Then wyou come back with all of it here. No panoramic shots, no screen shots and all DAYLIGHT. You're nowhere . near ready for any program, ans it doesn't exist without dimensions. Cabinet suppliers are not kitchen designers, their goal is to SELL cabinetry.A good kitchen is appliance and storage driven, It is FUNCTION first, how you cook, entertain, how many users at one time. It is last about cabinets to the ceiling: ) though that is often very wise.

Q

Reply to: The job of a cabinet supplier is to sell you cabinets, whether they are the best choices for your kitchen or not. What you want is a certified kitchen designer. Or, draw a scale plan of your kitchen space, fully and legibly labeled, with imperial measurements, not metric (or at least not metric only). Post it in this thread. You can get a lot of valuable help from the pros here if you give them all the information they ask for; they need that information to help you develop a cohesive, practical design that will work well and look good. I recommend you read this post (link) thoroughly. AI is all artificial, no intelligence. It is 100% unreliable. Work with people who know what they're doing. You'll be glad you did.

Q

Reply to: You are going in the wrong direction but AI is a far cry from a good KD which you can get help from here with a bit of work on your part . Nothing in the drawing except the bare walls . BTW those AI ideas are 20 yrs late in style

Q

Reply to: You can get some darn good free design here but you need to provide a good to scale floor plan showing windows , doorways where those lead,every measurement clearly marked and posted here in jpeg format in a comment . We also need to understand what you love and hate about the existing kitchen I suggest you use graph paper for the plan it makes it easier to do scaled plans . There are many of us on here who are kitchen designers and aslo people just with good advice too.
