What are your thoughts on this kitchen? ( Style, colour)

[Florence1960]

What do you think? Of all the ones I’ve seen I like this one. Not the layout, mine would be very different.

It’s a pastel 70s nightmare.

The style is ok although I think the two heights on the kitchen island looks a bit weird. The colour, absolutely not. Looks like a Barbie house!

I don’t remember the seventies being pastel, I think more of brown and orange.

I love it

I think it will date very quickly, I don't like it at all! How long do you intend staying in your house - if you are considering moving pick a more classic look that will not date .

I love it. But I love pink and pastel colours.

It reminds me of bedroom furniture

You made me laugh! ~ by saying you've lived with it in your head for long you're bored with it before it's even been done! ☹️That's exactly how I feel

I might be selling or renting this place out, or I may get stuck living here...which makes it difficult to know what to go for & how much to spend! (The leaving/staying/selling/renting situations are largely out of my hands & not at all helped by Covid).

However, even if I just decided to go for what I want, I don't know what that is anymore as I'm already bored of it.

@ALLIS0N. Please don't stop posting suggestions! (I'm fed up of Houzz - this is much better '

It's nice. My brother had a wren kitchen fitted and it's lovely.

The late 70’s were definitely pastel, our house had a peach bathroom suite and pale peach tiles when we bought it in 1995, along with a sugared almond pink tiled kitchen ( that was fun to remove 🙄) .

I like it

It might be more 1950s than 1970s

Personally I kind of like it! I don’t think it’ll date particularly (it’s unusual rather than fashionable), but I do wonder if you’d get bored of it after a while. I’d be tempted to go for just one of the colours paired with dark accessories to stop it looking to sugary.
It is very bathroom though!

Another poster commenting on the blue made me go back and have another look. If this colour pallet appealed to you could the blue be changed for another colour, say mint, pale grey, pale yellow?

It's too bland.

It’s quite a statement and a permanent one too that will date.

Keep the expensive to change things neutral, dark or light, but essentially neutral (ie the cabinets etc) and be creative with the things that can easily be changed ie the walls and accessories.

I love it. I'm not at all girly. Who cares if it dates.

I like it. If you go with what you like and are happy to live with it, who cares that it will "date" it's your home not a fashion magazine.

Our kitchen is about 8 years old and "dated"; wooden units, multicoloured tiles. But then if we'd jumped onto clean lines, gloss and grey, that would be dating rapidly too and worse because it's a strong fashion rather than a more traditional "classic". I don't care as it's warm, sunny and homely.

Pastels and minimal lines was more 50s than 70s. I grew up with a lemon kitchen from the 60s, and nicer than the beige/ wooden trims or dark woods that were being installed at that point in the 80s.

I’ve got a light blue kitchen but shaker style, I love it it feels fresh, clean and bright and different from the 50 shades of grey and navy on offer or high gloss (shudder)

Photos of mine, please be gentle everyone because I love it

Are you getting your kitchen from Wren? My advice, don't.

We went to their showroom once and it was beautiful. Amazing choice of finishes and great showcase kitchens on display. Then I started seeing some awful reviews of the company.

My daughter arranged for them to do her utility room before I had a chance to warn her. I decided to keep quiet in the circumstances and on the basis that they can't be awful all of the time. How wrong was I. The delivery had half the stuff missing and wrong items and the fitter failed to turn up on the day. Took a lot of chasing to get someone to do the work.

Weirdly their reviews on Trustpilot and similar look ok now. It's your decision op, but I still wouldn't touch them.

@emma8t4 your kitchen, whilst not to my taste, is tastefully done and isn't one that will date as much as the Wren one.

Style is great, colours are naff
