Kitchen furniture color, the agony of choice

Hello.

We have now finished the kitchen planning (see photos). Only the colors are missing. The floor will have wood-colored tiles. Appliances: Bosch oven and dishwasher, Elica Tesla Switch induction (nothing else was available :) ), LG side-by-side fridge, Eufy robot vacuum, goes under the island on the side. The countertop is ordered, it will be natural stone in marble look (see photo). Now the question about the color of the cabinets. We want mostly clear lacquer white. The wall with the side-by-side should be different. Either in the color of the floor (photo attached), anthracite, or also clear lacquer white? :)
Do you maybe have similar kitchens and can share some experiences/photos?

Thank you very much.

The display cabinet next to the island is removed. We have optimized that further :cool:

The wall with the side by side should be different. Either in the color of the floor (photo attached), anthracite, or maybe clear lacquer white? :)

For this selection, I vote for the color of the floor and would like to explain why, so you can decide if you identify with it or prefer the opposite: In my opinion, the color of the floor brings more "warmth" into the kitchen, making it feel less sterile. Furthermore, I do not like anthracite at all. Maybe it would be helpful if you could also show photos of the possibly adjoining dining/living room. I assume the kitchen opens into the dining/living area?

The kitchen is semi-open. The floor is the same throughout. The kitchen is separated from the living room by a wall with an open approx. 1.70m wide opening, where only a door frame will be installed, no door. In the picture, you can see the entrance to the kitchen on the left.

Great selection! I am a big fan of kitchens in white with wood (floor, countertop, etc.). But I also like it colorful. Therefore, if it were my kitchen, I would add a splash of color, e.g., a muted blue-gray tone. Of course, it should match your interior style. I wouldn’t take the color of the floor because it certainly won’t be exactly matched, and then it looks strange. My current kitchen (rental apartment): anthracite floor tiles, base cabinets and tall cabinet high-gloss white, wooden countertop, wall cabinets with [Glastüren türkis (blickdicht)]. Unfortunately, that was not feasible in the new kitchen for various reasons. Now all cabinets are high-gloss white with otherwise the same setup. I then have to bring color in differently.

I wouldn’t use the floor color, since it certainly won’t be matched exactly and then it looks strange. My current kitchen (rental apartment): floor tiles anthracite, base cabinets and tall cabinet high gloss white, wooden countertop, wall cabinets with turquoise glass doors (opaque). Unfortunately, this was not feasible in the new kitchen for various reasons. Now all cabinets are high gloss white with the same configuration otherwise. So I have to bring color in differently.

We are not fans of too much color :) and we find the furniture color and floor color look the same (see photo).

What if the furniture strips at the top and bottom were done in clear lacquer white, then there would be no transition and you wouldn’t see the slight differences...
