Kitchen - which do you prefer?

[ConfusedMum1893]

Help! I appreciate I am not giving much context (e.g. how it matches with other parts of the house etc).

Leaving all these aside, which kitchen do you think looks better between these two (or which would age quicker?).

All opinions are welcome :)

I think the beige is quite bland.
I prefer the dark, it’s looks more interesting. But I’m not keen on the contrasting cabinet colours, I’d go for just one colour. And if you want dark, as PPs have said, I’d go for navy or dark green.
I’d also agree - different handles.
And I prefer herringbone floor.

Lighter one

I love them

I’m planning a new kitchen (mine is truly dreadful!), do you have a link to those cupboards please?

Could live with either as long as you change the god awful handles.

I prefer the lighter cupboards, darker worktop combo. Light coloured work surface is just asking for stains and the dark grey cabinets make what is quite a naturally bright room in the photo look dreary. I prefer the flooring from the dark one though.

I like the lighter one overall. I might do the pantry wall (the one where the double oven is) in a light grey (lightest grey in the floor) and countertop in the same color for some contrast.

The dark cabinets will soak up all the light in the room.

I could even see a pecan wood work-table as an island.

Do you have pets /dc? Worth considering what a pale kitchen would look like if you have either ime.
