Kitchen Colours Selections


MY KITCHEN SAMPLES




I loosely based our kitchen colours on a design I saw on Houzz.  It was hard to try and get the exact cabinet colours.  In the end I had to upgrade to a crystal gloss finish to get a colour similar-ish to the one pictured below, as pretty much all cat 1 cabinets were a whitey type colour.


I really liked this kitchen below, but was concerned the timber finish might date, and whether it would clash with the timber floors and be too many different types of timber finishes in the living area when you take into account our other furniture. 



A reminder of the previous kitchen which I designed :
















Colour selections for the Waldorf kitchen/galley :

afa cubeline undermount sink

teknobilli square pull out sink mixer

interchange ab420 sink (for galley)

mixer for galley should look something like this?

laminex floor cabinets/draws in crystal gloss finish with square edge - stipple seal

essa stone benchtops (80mm edge with one apron for island), smaller thickness with shadowline to other benches including galley - colour is crystal chalk, all pencil round edges

 
laminex lamiwood natural finish - sublime teak (cock your head to the side as it is going to be horizontal grain!) for the overhead cabinets and above fridge cabinet




cabinet pull handles in satin chrome (no handles on overheads)

low-iron splashback in vivid white (during the block fans vs faves this year I had a revelation that I wanted mirror splashbacks but after doing research decided against it - firstly because of the cleaning, and secondly if you have anything on your bench it makes your kitchen look twice as cluttered)

 The paint colour throughout the whole house is Wattyl Astor White, and the floorboards for downstairs are Manhattan Spotted Gum laminate (used as the background for my sample palette below).

  1. Hi guys, how is your build going? Was wondering if you ended up going with these colours and how it ended up looking? We are just starting the process (hoffman 39) and independently ended up with exactly the same colour selections.
    Cheers, Richard

  2. Hi Richard, I have no doubt that these colours will look awesome! Unfortunately we cancelled our contract with PD (long story) hence the blog has not been updated in a while. I am sure whatever we do next I will try & use those same colours ;)

  3. Ahh sorry to hear about the build, buying/building is hard work and gets emotional once you are invested! Well you may be able to see the colours in-situ in our house as we kick off our build in Jan. http://hasslingthehoff.wordpress.com/
    Good luck!
