Bold kitchen- will I regret it?

[HomelyK]

Looking for new kitchen in open plan space. Neither my husband or i like white or grey kitchens. Fallen for a mid teal colour and husband wants beaten copper worktop. So think white walls, midtone wooden floors, teal kitchen with copper worktops. Colour scheme of teal, copper, navy and burnt orange with natural brown tones from wooden pieces against white/pale walls... Is it going to be too much? Im swaying towards more natural tones but is it just because they are safe? How did you finalise your decor choices? Did you play safe/go bold? For context I have two cats, a toddler and a clumsy husband hehe

The only thing that would concern me is that it might feel quite dark. We have a similar west facing extension with roof lights and lots of glass across the back wall, but our kitchen with dark cabinets always feels a bit gloomy. As I'm fed up of having the lights on most of the time, we're replacing it with a much lighter colour scheme.

I love the idea of a copper worktop but I suspect it might be hard to live with!

If it’s actual copper, even on a laminate I would expect it would cost £££ - copper is quite expensive as anyone who has had a new heating system piped will tell you!

Wow I think it looks/sounds fab. And I'm a bit of a "boring neutrals" person!!

Honestly find another way to get copper into your kitchen - some vintage pans maybe.
A real copper metal surface (expensive and impractical) is a world away from a "copper effect" laminate- I think the laminate looks fake and blotchy - you will soon hate it. If you are going to have a laminate - fair enough - have a wood or stone effect that looks more realistic.

If you like copper then Minerva do a lovely solid surface with a copper fleck. But it’s quite expensive!
