How to choose kitchen furniture colour combinations

  • Darker below, lighter above keeps the kitchen bright and hides wear.
  • One neutral + one character colour is a safe formula.
  • Coordinate with the counter and backsplash.
  • Use the same finish family (both matte, or matte with a wood grain).
  • Check samples together in your kitchen's light.

Materials and rough cost factors

  • Laminate brand and finish: textured, anti-fingerprint and super-matte cost more.
  • Thickness: 1mm for shutters.
  • Board: BWP ply for base cabinets.
  • Edge-banding in matching colours.
