We're getting a new kitchen and I can't decide on the colour! The kitchen is East / North-East facing so we get lovely sun in the morning (on rare occasions when the sun shows up in Scotland) and dull light for the rest of the day.
We really like dense colours - greens and teal (something like this: images.app.goo.gl/AXBQyg8LqdjewGKr6 )
I visited the DIY Kitchens showroom and didn't really like any of their standard colours. Was quite disappointed with cornflower blue and sage green - they both seem very very light and pale. Does anyone have them and are their samples a true representation of what the kitchen will look like?
Having read recent reviews and issues with DIY Kitchens and incomplete orders, damaged units, wrong colour etc. I'm really scared of going for bespoke...
Does anyone have any experience with ordering bespoke?
Or shall we go for something neutral (e.g. Alabaster) and paint the walls in deep colours so we can change if we ever sell or get tired of it?
Are units online equally likely to mess up the order?
The kitchen is an L-shaped kitchen and the other two walls will be used for an L-shaped dining area (the "kitchen" bit is on the wall where the windows are) so we need to figure out the colour palette for both sections. Go for bold colours in both sections? Or one darker/deeper while other lighter (and if so, which)? If anyone has a similar layout I'd love to hear from you.
I'm getting really anxious as we currently have no kitchen and need to make a decision this week (have a baby and toddler at home and it's NOT fun cooking on mini transportable hob :( ).
