Kitchen cabinet paint colours
The a3 sheets are these colours, the darker grey being purbeck and the lighter grey cornforth. The walls are painted in cornforth and the kitchen will be accented with American walnut.
I'll attach some more photos where you can see the kitchen floor a bit better. The worktop will be some sort of white silestone like lagoon. The handles are polished chrome.
The kitchen is only partially built but hopefully it's enough to get an idea of the scheme and light.
Really hope someone can advise, I've definitely got design fatigue and need some help!

6 years agoHi Campo73! Thank you for your quick reply. I have no idea why they aren't showing as it appeared on my screen when I sent it but will try again!
Great point re the splash back colour competing with Railings. My concerned with antique glass is the worktop has a slight glass effect to it and I don't want the overall look to be OTT! I'll try to re-send photos and would appreciate your suggestions as your kitchen looks gorgeous!
My instinct was to go with Ammonite so good to have someone else suggesting the same.

Comments (10)Hi Maria. It's a lovely kitchen and I must admit I like the white so would probably change the accessories. I would add a huge sunburst clock or mirror above the cabinets (can't work out if it's a clock or mirror above the fire). Add a statement light over the table. Try a coloured splashback behind the cabinets. Add some coloured stools. I would say paint the kitchen chairs but I can see they are good quality! If you do want to paint then either blues, violets or even a very soft grey if you add some coloured accesories. Do make sure the colour blends with the lounge though as you can obviously see through....See MoreWhat colour to paint island if kitchen cabinets,are elephants breath?
Comments (2)The colour would depend on lots of variants. Such as what’s on the floor? how much light is there? Do you have a splash back what’s the counter top? That said would you consider painting the island a feature colour? Such as ink blue or emerald green? It would make your island a feature. Good luck...See MoreDeborah Stevenson
6 years agohi Caroline - the Dekton is lovely. I personally think continuing it up as the splashback would look amazing, give an edge of sophistication without being OTT. photos of my kitchen (on a dull day). cabinets are ammonite which would work well for you. walls are cornforth.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoHi Caroline,
If it helps, we are just finishing our kitchen and after much deliberation went with Ammonite for the walls; the back wall is nearly all glazed in one way or another so it's quite a light sunny room. We also went for a pale veined worktop (Unistone Carrera) and continued it up 10cm as a splashback.
Ammonite is a beautiful light grey!
We went for Purbeck stone units in our pantry and whilst it contrasts really nicely with the Ammonite walls it's a much warmer colour and far less bright and airy. I am probably take a pic tomorrow if it helps to see them together.
Best wishes,
Claire

6 years agoHi Caroline,
Thank you! It's actually Como Blue from Zoffany; I tried all the F&B blues including Railings and Hague Blue and Stifkey but couldn't quite find what I was looking for. This looks really bright blue in the bright sunshine but almost navy in the evening or at night.
Our house is actually 1980's and had a rather terracotta kitchen when we moved in , so it's not genuine farmhouse at all! We just used a fab designer (Gina from Create Perfect on here) and she helped us pull it all together and brought rustic touches in.
Handless is a beautiful contemporary look- I'm sure it will be fab!! :)
I'll try and get a couple of pics tomorrow of the pantry with the Purbeck units and Ammonite walls as only have ones of the shelved wall on here and you can't really see the units.

6 years agoAh, thank you Kate!
Yes we love it thank you! Still got a few finishing bits and pieces like rugs to buy but we're very nearly there; frustratingly we've now started a complete overhaul / renovation of the master suite on the top floor and my hubby has banned me from buying 'anything decorative not functional' until it's sorted and we see if we have any money left!!!
I always feel like I've cheated in comparison to those of you who have done it alone but having a designer on board was a lifesaver for me! I actually find it quite scary now looking at how ridiculously life like the 3D renders are, when you look at how the rooms were when they were created and it was 3 separate rooms!
I wish more people realised just how accessible and affordable a designer is (certainly before Gina contacted me I thought they were for people with lots of money and it would be really intimidating and way too fancy for us!!) and what a huge difference it makes to your stress levels and enjoyment of a project.
How is everything going with your project??? :) x

6 years agoHi Caroline,
I tried to take a couple of pics of the Purbeck units with the Ammonite walls in the pantry but it's quite tricky as there's a big window in there, so I keep getting shadows!
Here are a couple through, if you look along the edge of the upper unit you can see the contrast quite well.
Have you decided what to go with yet? :)
(Ps I think I read that you've decided against the Worsted colour tiles but if you look at the final pic, it's our utility / dog / laundry room and we went with Worsted on the units and for the built in dog bed down there, as we wanted something much darker and more forgiving because of wet dirty dogs! The walls are still Ammonite so you can see the contrast)

6 years agoThe kitchen looks great, love the worktop! Something with copper in would tie in with the pendants. I love the shape of the seat on this one from Cox and Cox. Or do you want something with a full back? Which RSG one were you looking at?

6 years agoHi everyone, going to resurect this thread, it's a good one!
I'm building a new house in Dublin at the moment and need to decide on my kitchen unit colours over the next few weeks. Our kitchen is in a south/west facing room - but the kitchen is in the middle of the house (rather than at the end of the room, iykwim!) See attached a kitchen plan with an idea of the layout we'll be going with, more or less (wood accents may be different if we go with them at all).
I've no island, but I'll have a 3m peninsula. I'm sold on the idea of a carrera silestone (with with light marble flecks) and a waterfall edge over the sides. Floors will be oak. Windows in that room will be anthracite grey. I want the kitchen to feel fresh and airy.
I'd love a light, warm grey for the matt, handleless units. I am drawn towards French Grey and Pubrek stone, but not sure if I should go darker on the peninsula, I don't want the kitchen to be bland, but also given it's in the middle of the room, I'm not sure I'll get away with a really bold Downpipe or something similar.
Any suggestions? Many thanks.Lorraine Pringle
6 years agoHi there Anne-Marie, I'm also based in Dublin and commented on this post this time last year. Pic below of my kitchen beforehand to save you going back through the thread to find them.

6 years agoAnne-Marie I went with F&B Purbeck stone on kitchen units (I also went for walnut carcas on the inside of the units, I loved the contrast) and F&B railings on the island, it matched in well with the grey slider backdoors. The railings can look dark grey and can also look dark blue/navy at times depending on the light, I love it!
For the walls and ceilings I ended up going with F&B All White as I thought the Purbeck really stood out with it and anything grey might darken it.
I have a tv snug at the other end of the kitchen and I did choose F&B Ammonite for that wall to tie in with the grey tones.
I went for pencil finish on the stone instead but that's just personal choice and I choose SM Quartz Lyskamm as it had more a grey/blue look to the marbling.
Best of luck with your project Lorraine

5 years agoHi All, I am hoping someone can help me!!!!!!! I recently painted my kitchen units in F&b Cornforth White. I am looking for a colour to compliment on the walls. I don't have a main wall as such i'm painting as going to feature brick effect paper...I have 2 large double sliding doors that open into the sitting room. I have testers of Worsted, but thinking it could be very dark. (the splashback will be coming down) i'm undecided on to go dark or light - plus painter coming tomorrow!!!!
