White kitchens with cool-toned accents?

[Anonymous]

The kitchen is fine, it just needs some warmth. Bring in some wood accents and some color. Rip out the ugly grey backsplash.

What are not dated knobs or hardware? Out of curiousity?

Similar color scheme but higher-end finishes. The fruit/flowers, etc. help a lot but to me these are still too cold and grey without hardwood:

The counters are all right.

I prefer wood floors.

This is very difficult, unless it is an old house redo with low ceilings. High ceilings/new houses do not support "cabinets to the ceiling", as there is no practicality in that, and such houses usually have spacious pantries to avoid the need for 10-11' cabinets.

PP here. See the pics someone posted here. Those are much nicer and more current.

I was sort of mean in this post and didn't intend to come off that way. The owners of this kitchen just picked basic things from Home Depot instead of giving it any personality. I didn't mean they had to spend a lot of money. You can have a cheap, stylish kitchen too- see Ikea.

Nah. Get 42" cabinets and then use molding or a facade that spans the extra 12". Hopefully your kitchen ceilings aren't 15ft tall (which is more McMansion like than sylish)?

No it doesn't. I'm a decorator. It's the norm in high end kitchens. And I don't mean high end McMansion kitchens, I mean well done ones.

I googled this out of curiosity and the designer is right

Nice kitchen but would look nicer to the ceiling.

Note how all the kitchens posted at 20:50 and 20:55 include warmer tones like hardwood floors, warm paint colors, brass hardware, etc. They look much better than the pics at 15:56.

I agree. Painted cabinets and hardwood floors pair nicely. So do gray cabinets with gold hardware.

Notice no cheap door handles, black granite or mosaic backsplashes in those better pictures.

Thanks, I love this idea. I have existing soffit and nice cabinets. Would you please share the ballpark estimate of adding molding above six cabinets?
