Kitchen cabinets - round 2

So now that we've found hardwood under the laminate, we're going to have it refinished, making our initial cabinet color choice obsolete. Using the med. brown cabinet on a red-brown floor would be too much.

We're pretty set on using Ikea cabinets I think, after looking at many options, and even preliminary planning at Menards. We got a few doors from Ikea in the colors/styles we like so we could see them in our space.

I think we're leaning toward the dark; lighting is going to be important if that is our final choice. The floor is the actual color. WDYT?

From left to right is beech - brown/black - birch (wall color will not be the same as below) All appliances will be stainless.

This is the space: (I can't wait to tear that wallpaper down this week) (And it's messy oh well) That's yellow diamond-pane glass in those upper cabinets, so glam.

Re: Kitchen cabinets - round 2

  • I like the black cabinets
  • I like the dark color best.  We have been re-doing our kitchen for a year now.. what a PITA!  I hope yours doesn't take as long lol.
  • I like the white the best.

    The dark black is my second choice.

    The lighter color - no way.

  • Given those 3 choices, I'd pick the white one.  The wood color of the floor just looks the best with it...the light wood is too light and the dark wood I feel would make the kitchen way too dark with the wood floors...just "too much wood"...

    With the white, you could still bring style to the space with cool cabinet pulls and a darker countertop.

  • The birch is actually not white, but more of an ivory-light colored wood. I like how the dark brings out the wood grain in the floor. I think the whole look will be sharp with dark cabinets, the red-brown floor and stainless appliances. I'm not afraid of color on the walls (hello red dining room), so a nice pop of color on the walls will balance the dark. And I'll put rugs in the room too, which also will help break up all the wood.
