Help with kitchen choices

Landlord is replacing the cupboards and work top and I need help choosing other items please. It’s all a compromise as I have to work within their specs

They supply cashmere cupboard doors and Limestone white worktop.
I can supply:
tiles (15x15 or 10x20)
sink and tap

there is also the option to have replacement standard stainless steel sink and white tiles

I also need to buy a gas hob and single oven.

I wanted a white composite sink and brass tap, and was going to choose a black oven, but gas hobs are black or stainless steel. I need ideas and opinions how to try and make it hang together. Thanks if you’ve got this far and it makes sense

What are the undertone colours of the worktops? If slight grey then it will work better with silver handles, sink and appliances. If it's warmer in tone then go for gold tap, white sink, black hob and maybe some pinky tone tiles or green to add warmer colour?

I have seen so many kitchens where the worktop undertones clash with hardware and it just doesn't link. Good luck!

Don't get a white composite sink. Will stain and age v quickly. You can get a white ceramic sink or stick with stainless steel sink. I have black ovens with white sink and brass tap/ brass knobs, but the kitchen is cream and wood so very warm. I think cooler colours will go with the cashmere so i would stick to stainless steel, white and cashmere, maybe also black. You could have black or white handles on the cashmere. You can also have a black tap if you don't want stainless steel/ chrome tap.

I'd go for the stainless steel sink, and stick with chrome taps, it will work more harmoniously with the units and be easy to keep clean. You can be creative with tiles though. How about mostly standard white, then these as a feature c
