Is white gloss handleless kitchen naff?

[Suomynona]

The house is a 60's semi that we're refurbishing to rent out (for the first year or two anyway).

Kitchen will not be an expensive one - i.e from Wickes or soemwhere similar. We want something contemporary with fairly generic appeal, but I'm now wondering if white gloss handleless is a little too commonplace/naff/predictable. I kind of like the soft greys etc but think they will date a lot faster.

Opinions / suggestions please? Thanks.

All kitchens date. High gloss, shaker etc. I don't know that white gloss will date faster or slower than grey or cream gloss.

Certainly a gloss modern kitchen goes well with a 60s house.

I think I might go for cream just because there are so damn many white ones.

Should probably add that I don't actually like high gloss, but that's not really the point.

White gloss for a rental is absolutely fine.

Well if you have a kitchen which was never in fashion I guess it won't date.

I’m trying to figure out what was never in fashion.

Yellow kitchens.

I never remember them being a thing.

How about a framed slab door?
has no grooves just raised edges so still easy to clean

I have a mint green kitchen, not sure that was ever in fashion!

And my step mum has a 1950s yellow kitchen which I think looks amazing.

Wow a framed slab door! Something to look in to, thank you very much.

My kitchen so far. Very pleased with it, tiles and floor still to choose. I think white subway tiles with a grey grout but have no idea what colour floor to get

I had a white gloss kitchen put into our 60s house 10 years ago. It wasn't high end but still looks as good as new. It's also very easy to keep clean.

Subway tile sounds lovely, what are you going to put on the floor?

There are too many choices..

I think Karndean flooring, maybe in slate effect?

Any suggestions gratefully received. Too many decisions! The painters are coming next week and I still haven’t decided what colour to paint the walls!

Handleless white gloss is a bit 10 years ago.

My job means I see new kitchens a LOT.

At the moment, I am seeing mostly handprinted kitchens with the island painted in a completely contrasting colour. In fact, pretty much every house I go to has pale grey cupboards, chrome knobs and cup handles, a large island painted in a bold F&B colour, and cream metro tiles are still going very strong.

Oh you are so lucky seeing all those kitchens! Are you seeing many Navy cabinets?

I saw a very dark blue island today.

Just saw I put 'handprinted'

Handpainted obis

Obvs.

Fucking autocorrect.

I have white high gloss shaker style & I’m surprised that the comments about keeping it clean we find it very easy, just wipe over with baby wipes

I went with a Matt white handleless kitchen in my last house, got it from diy kitchens here, it looked good and just required a wipe down once a week, especially on the handles as dust can gather there (the kitchen really did add value to my house and i got my asking price!). I would definately have a handleless kitchen again and might even go for gloss in my new house, but that is a little while off as i'm skint :-)

I don't want to see another grey kitchen as long as I live.

Yes they are everywhere but they are really nice.

The only alternatives are white or a darker colour like black or navy and I don’t think I’d be brave enough for that.
