Hi, could you please help me decide between these options?

The first picture shows white glossy cabinets with a dark countertop, paired with dark carpet, light grey carpet, and off-white carpet.

The second picture shows light grey glossy cabinets with a dark countertop, along with the same carpet options: dark, light grey, and off-white.
Thanks.

My opinion...

I prefer lighter kitchens to darker ones generally.

I would avoid glossy cabinets, I have some now and they show every fingermark. I also have dark slate tiles on my floor and they show every mark, go for lighter ones every time.

My opinion.....

The grey cabinets with the lightest flooring option looks lush! In fact we have this, although not glossy grey, and everyone compliments us on how gorgeous it looks and every time I walk into my kitchen I love it.

It all seems very… grey? Have you considered a warmer colour for the flooring?

White wall cupboards, darker base cupboards?

Which - if any - make your heart sing @Chemite12?

I only pick stuff I love (which would be warm, saturated colours as I personally hate grey and white), so wouldn't be interested in enlisting a bunch of randoms online for their opinions/validation. You'd hate my kitchen as it's burgundy and pink 😂

White cabinets, mid grey floors for me.

My first question would be, have you seen a sample of the gloss white and gloss grey? Which shows fingermarks up more? Then I would pick the least worst of those for showing marks.

The other thing I would say is white goes with everything so if you wanted to change the floor/walls in a few years it would be easier with white.

Are the grey cabinets shaker style or flat?

If you had my vote I’d say white with mid grey floor but it’s personal preference.
