Having a Howdens Fairford Grey (new colour) kitchen installed with a white quartz worktop -What colour cabinet should I choose and what colour should I paint the walls?

Basiletta sorry to hijack your thread but I am looking at exactly this kitchen at the moment. Would you mind telling me what Howdens have quoted you?

By the way I haven't looked at cabinet colour as yet but I would be thinking of the light grey oak.

I just had the Fairford Grey installed a few weeks ago. I am very happy with it. I was thinking of painting the walls a lilac colour. There is a dulux colour that is beige/lilac that is my current top choice. It is difficult to decide though.

Watching with interest as I think we will gonflrnthis colour too after looking at nearly every kitchen on the planet it feels like. I am going to have a Laura ashley splashback I think and some tiles so pairing walls some variety of white

I’m having the navy installed with the white quartz worktop.

That sounds nice. I would love to see a photo of your installed kitchen. So difficult to visualise from Just a door front and one brochure photo!

The navy looks great. Very dramatic. We have just taken out a 48 year old navy gloss slab kitchen so need to ring the changes otherwise I might have been tempted too!

It was either the carbon grey or navy. I decided on navy and I’m really looking forward to it being done. I’m going for white walls but I’ve no idea about flooring.

I've got the navy with white quartz, it's absolutely beautiful

I'd LOVE to see any pics of the navy. We have more or less decided on it with white worktops (quartz or possibly Corian - we don't want too much sparkle) and very pale grey walls.

Flooring will be Polyflor vinyl in a limewashed oak parquet.

Always happy to flash my kitchen! Floor photo was taken a while ago so it wasn't finished then

I love this flooring. No idea where it’s from though.

They’re from an American company.
Never mind. 😭
