F&B Ammonite or Cornforth White Kitchen help!

4 years ago

Last piece of the puzzle is deciding on kitchen cabinet colour and I’m worried I’m going to make wrong decision. I’m going for light and bright but don’t want the kitchen to feel cold and clinical. I have light gray porcelain tiles, White Carrera Quartz worktop with light gray veining. Island will be navy or deep teal/gray.
Does anyone have thoughts about Ammonite vs Cornforth White, both Farrow & Ball. Does Ammonite look chalky white? The look I’m going for is on 2nd photo. The kitchen only gets sun in the summer, it’s west facing.

Since you are keeping the flooring, everything new has to be in relation to the floor. Do you have a photo of the floor? Hold up samples of the cabinet paint and see if it enhances the flooring. You might need a more cream paint on cabinet and see these dark knobs. Some of the marble-type have many gray streaks. I'd look for something with brown-beige streaks to enhance the beige grout and beige floor tilehttps://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-bathroom-traditional-bathroom-phvw-vp~93581 The back splash I'd do in the same "marble" as the counters b/c if you match the beige grout of the floors, with the subway tile, the back splash tile will look odd and if you use a white grout on the subway tile, it will look odd with the floors, too.

I'm a huge fan of Farrow & Ball and their greys are lovely but if they're not working for you then why not try a different brand? The Paint Library Architectural range is very useful and they have a good range of greys in varying shades from I to V (I being the lightest) so you can use a III on the walls and I on the woodwork for a perfect tonal look. They're also grouped by undertone so they're really easy to use! Try Salt or Cotton perhaps? Zoffany also have some beautiful greys and have a similar shading system with some of their colours (quarter, half and double). In particular, I really love the Silver, Harbour Grey and Linen ranges.

To be honest I would be very careful with grey or anything with grey tones. We moved house last July and painted our lounge in FB elephants breath. In the north facing room it was very grey and sucked the life out of the room. We had to change it - very depressing. We have now used a paint from Little Greene - the paint quality is so much better than FB. Our decorator agrees. They might have a nice grey - but please be very sure of how it will look in your room!

For an overall sense of a dramatic colour change I'd suggest using Crown paints room painter app. It wouldn't be accurate for exact shade like a tester pot is but it might give you the confidence to make the change! Take a good photo of your room and try it out. It can be tricky to use when there are lots of items you don't want to paint e.g. kettle, so best clear any clutter first. I've messed with your photo as an example
