Design help please!!! Can’t decide between cabinet colors and flooring
Hi guys,
we are in the process of building our new house and need to make decisions to complete our design upgrades. Builder has got us stuck with picking from 9 not so amazing packages. I say that because with certain kitchen colors they either have horrible flooring options or horrible backsplash choice which is not to our liking. what are your thoughts on this specific kitchen? Would you like a double stacked kitchen? The choice of cabinets for this package is either the Tahoe harbor( looks like a light grey like the island in the pic) color or Tahoe slate ( brownish). the house is very open concept with high ceilings and lots of natural light. I can pick to do 2 toned kitchen between these 2 colors but I’m scared that the greyish cabinet would be too light if it was put all over or just the major part of the kitchen. What are your thought? Also, the flooring options are either vinyl or light wood color which I didn’t like and would love your input in what kind of tile or wood tile flooring would you do with this kitchen of either color choice. The walls that the builder has picked with this package is accessible beige and I’m not sure if I like it since I prefer The accessible grey from sherwin Williams more.
Please help me pick the kitchen cabinet color and a matching flooring if I were to do this exact package. I am not upgrading flooring with the builder since their choices aren’t to my liking and would love for you guys to send me flooring options which would match. Thanks so much!!!

HELP: Small L-shaped kitchen with refuse chute on wall!
Comments (10)Are you saying that cooking next to the chute would gross you out even if its covered? Andd to use it for its intended purpose? In the first picture, it looks like the stove is directly underneath the chute, but I can see in other pics that it is not. I think it is far enough away. If everything is bagged properly, it shouldn't be that bad. You will have to check on local code regarding having the stove next to the window. Code may make your decision for you. People usually just put shorter cabinets above that type of range hood. I would recommend doing so because you need all the storage you can get. The hood--being different from the bank of cabinets--will provide relief to the eye. With cabinets above, it'll still feel balanced. And, as for covering the chute, do you want to cover it and restrict access or do you still need to use it for its intended purpose and just want to camouflage it? To help the room feel pleasant, cheery, and light, I recommend using a glass tile. Even though it's applied to a wall, the translucency still shows and evokes a sense of the adjectives above. I think it would help keep things light. Consider a slightly higher toe-kick underneath the lower cabinets. It helps to create a lighter-footed feeling. You could also consider cabinets that have furniture style feet. for a more open feeling. Your kitchen seems like an ideal room to use modern, lacquered cabinets. I don't know if you like the super-modern look, but I think it could be nice. Maybe just for the uppers. Use a medium-to-light toned wood on the bottom. A limestone floor might be nice. Or you can do wood or laminate. You could go with dark or light. I think it's mostly about preference....See MoreNeed help in designing Foyer Area
Comments (28)Hi Few points: 1. It's not an independent residential apartment. It is a flat in a 25storey block 2. I have attached the floor plan for reference. The entrance is not too huge. 3. It's good to know that you guys have liked the Bathroom & kitchen design. The tiling work is in progress and it has come out well. I will take few snaps and post 4. When I say resort look - I understand and mean a simplistic natural looking design. More towards wood, nature, green, matt finish etc... Hope i am not confusing anyone here 5. Do you think the bathroom & kitchen design gels with what I mean by resort look. 6. The foyer area is a small (not too big) entrance. It's like a passage as you can see in the pics I posted earlier. When you enter you don't see the entire living room rather you see the wall (kitchen wall), where we intend to keep our dining table. Some thoughts on designing that wall is also requested Thanks!...See MoreAwkward Blind Corner in Kitchen--Cabinet Solution?
Comments (16)Thanks, lefty47. This is an older home, and just as One Plan guessed it is a soil stack from the upstairs bathroom. You are probably right that the cost of a custom solution may outweigh the benefits. Another idea I had, along the lines of the worktop bin suggested by One Plan, is a recessed spatula and long-handled utensil holder. I found out that Lee Valley sells motorized tv lift kits like the one used in the video above. It would be a matter of getting the contractor to build the box to go on the lift. I'm still a bit hung up on the idea, though it probably falls into your cost-outweighs-benefit category! I may bring this photo around with me when interviewing prospective contractors, just to see how they answer!...See MoreClueless on rug color! Help me find my perfect rug!
Comments (27)You already have your accent colour as your sofa pillows (log roll pillows). I would take one of them shopping with me to get a rug that has that colour in it. It doesn't need to be a lot of that colour (I love the idea of burgandy rug here...but it might be too much with your monotone scheme). You can find a large rug that incorporates that red/raspberry in it so that you have a colour that is now your accent....See MoreMaro Mardickian
4 years agoAbsolutely , I feel the same exact way. I’m paying for upgrades and I’m stuck with choices that are not to my taste. Would u take this white package over the other one? This won’t be the way my kitchen would look since it’s not my floor plan but these color options are also offered. Thoughts?
