What colour kitchen?

[Soothes]

I have a good quality 20 yo kitchen. Granite worktops and falke sink still look brand new, the layout is goo, but the vinyl on the cupboard doors is starting. I have discovered that kitchens can be vinyl wrapped (like cars).

So, the light terracotta floor tiles will stay, as will the black and grey mottled granite work tops. The current units are a "cherry wood" colour which always fashionable when they were fitted and which I still like TBH, I wouldn't be changing it if they weren't tatty, but it's true that with the dark worktops a lighter colour may be better for the light. Plain slab doors with good quality metal bar handles, although these could be changed, I don't think they need to be.

I quite like light cream, but not next to white appliances? And whilst I don't hate all the grey options that seem to be current, I don't think it's what I'd pick if it wasn't everywhere.

What's a good option?

Oh, no one cares about my kitchen

Off white? My mam has a kitchen with cream units and white appliances and honestly it looks fine too.

Can you put a photo on? A lot might depend on lighting and layout, for example you might be able to be a bit braver with colour if it's a large room and the units don't take up that much of it.

I'm not going to put a picture of my home up but it's a large rectangular room, West facing with windows to two aspects, units around 3 walls. Light isn't a problem as such but more light is always good?

Photo needed.
Grey is out, green shades are in! White is eternal but dead boring. That worktop colour is tricky.
My next kitchen will be black with marble like quartz (or Silestone type). Last one i did was a very dark navy.
Anyway, need a pic of yours to really offer any suggestions.

If you’re definitely keeping the terracotta floor tiles and the black worktop I think your only colour options for the units are white, off white, cream, black or maybe grey as there is some grey in the worktop. If you added another colour like green or something with terracotta and black/grey it probably wouldn’t look right.

I think if you have terracotta floor tiles OP, grey/black granite worktops and white appliances then any colour other than white for the units will likely clash imo.

Grey would probably clash so close to the terracotta, creams/beiges might look odd with the white appliances - and I can't imagine fashionable blues or greens working with both terracotta and grey tones?

The only other option than white I can imagine might be a neutral oak - if you could find one with a mix of both cool grey tones like the work surface and warm/orange tones like floor, it would hopefully blend. While oak isn't super fashionable, it's fairly classic and you say the room is light enough to take medium tones for the units.

The terracotta is a very light almost salmon colour with grey flecks in it and grey grout, so I think grey would be OK, if not exciitng.
