Symphony Cranbrook Sage or Stone Kitchen...?

Our house currently has a Symphony kitchen which is about 13 years old. We're hoping to move in the next couple of years but the kitchen needs updating and a couple of the doors have water damage, so we're going to change the doors but stay with the Symphony make as they brackets are in the same place so it will be easy for us to do a lot of the work ourselves and keep the cost down.

I'm torn between their Cranbrook Stone shade which is a warm dark cream, which would be nice and neutral as we're seen it in a new build show house and looks lovely or their sage colour. We will be going for an off white worktop and light beige/whiteish LVT floor. We both like their sage colour as it's mainly grey with a hint of green. But my worry is that I've only seen it in 1 door and not as a whole run of kitchen units. And I'm worried that it will look too green and put people off buying the house. But even worse, I won't like it! We have a west facing kitchen so it's fairly dark until mid day then gets lighter, which is why I want a light worktop and floor.

Does any one have a kitchen in this range and can advise what it looks like or possibly add a photo? I've searched online but can't be certain that the kitchens are actually from the Cranbrook Sage range as some look really green and others don't. There would be no floor to ceiling units but about 10 doors in a long horseshoe shape with only 4 wall mounted units on the side of the room.

Also would a kitchen colour that you didn't like put you off buying a house? Would the neutral Cranbrook Stone be the best way to go rather than Cranbrook Sage for selling?

Hi,I had a look at their website.I like the Sage better than the Stone (too beige for my taste)but my favourite was Platinum (a nice Grey not as dark as Sage).
I don't think any of the colours above would put me off buying a house...a red kitchen on the other hand...

Bumping this thread. Can’t decide between Cranbrook Stone and Cranbrook Platinum. I’ve seen the platinum in a showkitchen which looks fine but am worried it can look grey/cold when the sun is not shining in. I haven’t been able to see Stone apart from photos on instagram. Stone is warmer but then I’m worried it might look too yellow/ old fashioned!
Anyone seen both in person and which do you like better?

Probably too late for you now but stone is more of a warm grey in person than a cream, we’ve got it in our kitchen. I found the platinum too cold for us when we looked at the samples.

we went with the platinum in the end. It looks ok although I think I’ll always wonder what stone would be like in comparison! Unfortunately the kitchen doors have not been fitted very well so we will have to ask the developer to straighten them out

It’s a nightmare trying to choose from pictures or tiny samples isn’t it, we really struggled! Glad you got it sorted 😊
