Please help with my kitchen indecision

[Aliblanco]

Please help, I am annoying myself so much. I have ordered a kitchen today, said room is about 3m x 5m but north facing, so tends to be dark. We have ordered a white gloss kitchen with grey worktops. Now I’m thinking it’s a mistake and I can’t actually make a decision about what I want! There’s still time to change the order so pleeeease help me decide.
A) stick with current order
B) pale grey gloss units with some sort of white? or pale? worktop
C) something else entirely
I have no imagination so I feel it’s going to be really boring, we have a tight budget so can’t be anything too crazy!
Please help before I drive myself round the bend!

I'm looking for a kitchen at the moment and struggling with visualising it too. I find the rabbit hole that is Pinterest very good for giving you an actual visual of different ideas. Have you had a look on there? Just search "white kitchen, grey worktop" and see what you think.

We went for white gloss with slightly marbled white quartz and a dark blue acrylic on one wall between top and base cabinets. I was really worried it would be too white but I absolutely love it and am so pleased we didn't go for darker worktops now. I also feel as though grey is a bit past it's best, now that it is literally everywhere you look.

Yes I’ve looked at loads of pictures for inspiration, it’s literally making me even worse.

I think I need someone to come along and say that looks crap and this looks good. Buy this.

madrush pleased you love yours. I was thinking about maybe adding a bit of colour with a splashback, will get googling.

I think a white/pale worktop and light reflecting backsplash will make the room lighter. If you have a paler floor too, that will make a big difference. What are you replacing btw?

The floor is a engineered oak jobby. Not our choice, previous owners installed it and there’s not a large enough budget to replace so we’re stuck with it even though it’s too dark.
The kitchen we’re replacing is a god awful selection of freestanding units that have no space to store anything.

I don’t like white kitchens, too clinical. Ours is shaker cream with oak work tops and everyone loves it.

You could try limewaxing the floor for a lighter finish.

I had a white gloss kitchen with grey worktops in my old house and really liked it. Currently have grey matt units with a wood worktop which is also nice but in a dark room I would go for the white.

I think worktop colour makes at least as much if not more difference than cabinet colour as they reflect light up so much.
So maybe stick with white and add white quartz or similarly speckled worktops too.
Whilst I think dark greys especially grey/blue etc are still interesting, light grey has had its day, except for flooring maybe
