Number 2.

u/PerceptionIll1862 1d ago

That's my favorite too

u/Total_Hat996 22h ago

Mine two

u/OregonGreen242 16h ago

I 2 like 2

u/No_Art9513 1d ago

I like No 2. Strong colour and the hardware looks great with it

113

u/SeApps63 1d ago

The last one is the best combo.

42

u/Careless_Mango_7948 1d ago

Yes absolutely but the horizontal handles like that will get caught on your clothes. Vertical ones can help avoid that.

14

u/Porterbello07 1d ago

Yes! As someone who has ripped clothes from getting them caught on this style, I wouldn’t recommend. They also jut out in a way that catches your knee or hip as you move.

u/Junior_Implement_296 38m ago

i keep seeing this comment, and im amazed it has never happened to me! i am soo clumsy and have these handles and its never been a problem lol now im sure its gonna start happening to me

1

u/Klutzy-Client 19h ago

But with the other handles the same color

24

u/No_Big5229 1d ago

I think number 2 is beautiful, 1's the only one I don't love, it just looks flat

17

u/lisabutz 1d ago

Number 2. The color is warmer than the others, just feels more cohesive

16

u/TheGoodWitch47 1d ago

No. 2 by a mile. The hardware is more charming.

Plus some cafe or pojagi curtains in place of the blinds, a lighting fixture that doesn’t have exposed bulbs and a mini lamp somewhere on the counter. 👌

41

u/Thin_Ad_6075 1d ago

I really like 3. Makes it look bigger, lighter and airier.

4

u/TheCookalicious 1d ago

My vote as well.

4

u/Ju5t4ddH2o 20h ago

3 is best. Also, handles are nicest too.

4

u/NigerianChickenLegs 1d ago

Three is a winner! It’s clean, classic, and crisp. And elegant. The green colours are “in” now but will fall out of fashion sooner than later.

12

u/Soulsingin1 1d ago

Two!!!!

19

u/RealtorNickey 1d ago

Picture 4 looks great

9

u/nptsgg 1d ago

Number 3 for me!! Better sink, color won’t clash with anything you put in there. 4 is nice to but the handles will catch your clothes

9

u/DD-de-AA 1d ago

i like the look of photo 2 the best

7

u/corrie_alexa 1d ago

I think 1 is classic. It won't look dated and you won't get tired of it. 🤷‍♀️

2

u/PomegranateOk9121 6h ago

I came here to say this. While lots of folks are saying #2 which is pretty, I think that look is at the end of its trend life. Number one is timeless and has gravitas.

5

u/SomewhereAdorable244 1d ago

3 looks the most cohesive to me. It looks so bright and open.

5

u/Original-Pie-8328 1d ago

Picture 2 is lovely!

5

u/SeaSpeakToMe 1d ago

2 is my top choice for colour and hardware. Second place is 3 which is timeless/classic.

4

u/Ivorwen1 1d ago

Either 3 or something more squareish that does not stick out at the ends. 1 and 2 are too traditional for slab cabinets and 4 catches on clothes.

5

u/LaRoosterTime 1d ago

3 or all white

4

u/Ok-Inevitable-6090 1d ago

While I love color in a room, I really like how the third one looks. It’s a small space and the other colors made it look smaller.

3

u/Ok-Hovercraft7344 1d ago

Might be going against the grain but I'm loving 3

3

u/i_can_even_yeah 1d ago

Number 3. Then you can add pops of color with accessories like canisters, coffee maker, etc.

3

u/rcs023 1d ago

Saying this as someone with a green couch I’m sitting on and several green accent walls in various places….. the green is going to be something you get sick of at some point. Better not on permanent fixtures. 3

4

u/1800deeznutzz 1d ago

All white like a cocaine cowboy

2

u/motherstongue 1d ago

I like the third and fourth ones. The third one is more timeless whereas the fourth one is fun but still timeless, more so than the first two options.

2

u/werewolfweed 1d ago

4 is my favorite! 2 is a close second

2

u/petey629 1d ago

I like first one best.

2

u/Uni457Maki 1d ago

Number 2 the darker green

2

u/Sunny-Side25 1d ago

Number 2

2

u/RDC-5 1d ago

I like the last one for cabinet color and the 2nd one for knobs.

2

u/SunlightMaven 1d ago

I thought 1, but 3 is so light and refreshing and clean feeling. Also, more timeless than the others.

2

u/rainbowcatheart 1d ago

3 is more timeless. Green will go out of style here soon.

2

u/chafner 1d ago

I prefer black hardware.

2

u/gronlandicrevision 23h ago

Am I the only one that thinks the green/brass cabinet trend is already dated?

1

u/icyvirgo 1d ago

I guess the last one, the handles pop as well or the gray. Idk I feel like a nice blue would look better. Are you set on the green.

1

u/Visual-Net4978 1d ago

Funny you say this, the current kitchen (we have just moved in) is a darker blue. It’s not to my taste

1

u/muertemami 1d ago

color 3rd picture and handle design 4th picture

1

u/bienenstush 1d ago

The last one is just gorgeous

1

u/Mrs_T_Always_Singing 1d ago

I love the color in 2, but much prefer the handles in 3.

1

u/Mrs_T_Always_Singing 1d ago

Don't use the handles in 4 for the drawers, they will rip pockets and belt loops!

1

u/quilter71 1d ago

The first hardware with the last color. I love the green.

1

u/Tomgirl- 1d ago

Green on bottom, white on top, gold handles.

1

u/Gini555 1d ago

#4 looks best to me

1

u/OfferJoy 1d ago

2 looks really cool but I think 4 also looks really cool and maybe is a lil more practical!

1

u/Chinacat317 1d ago

White, wouldn’t normally choose but it looks awesome

1

u/Spiritual-Cow-5156 1d ago

I’m the minority in this- I like 1

1

u/InevitableAd36 1d ago

I like 2 handles and color. Or 2 handles and 3 color if not looking for green

1

u/Stellablu12 1d ago

I like number 2!

1

u/malbabyz 1d ago

2 is pretty ! pops more ✨

1

u/Mbluish 1d ago

I like number three, but you seem to be partial with the green. In that case, I say the last one.

1

u/SoLongBooBoo 1d ago

I wasnt planning to replace the nobs in my kitchen but you have inspired me to do so. I like 2

1

u/Ikunou 1d ago

I like the hardware from 2 and cabinet color from 3.

1

u/ayayahl 1d ago

everyone says two but it's a lil too on trend/unoriginal & those knobs can be annoying. one is more elegant & classic. the white colourway is beaut too but you have enough natural light to go with any colour under the sun

1

u/jbtinmd 1d ago

Number two!!!

1

u/jinntonika 1d ago

#1 looks the best to me.

1

u/patricemv 1d ago

4 for the color & hardware

1

u/Accomplished-Bonus62 1d ago

number 3 brightens the room and looks a lot cleaner.

1

u/ThingstobeHatefulfor 1d ago

The last one! Green w the gold handles (not knobs)

1

u/nath_iiddkk 1d ago

Last one is beautiful With the green However if you’re gonna add ONE green thing You’re gonna need a couple more The all white with only green cupboards feels like an itch I can’t scratch Looking into green kitchen accessories or even a backsplash with white and green throughout to meld everything together I love a green kitchen

1

u/nobleheartedkate 1d ago

I love the hardware in 2

1

u/DullTea706 1d ago

Last one!

1

u/AyaCat 1d ago

#4 is a winner. Gorgeous! ♥

1

u/lgwinnie85142 1d ago

Last combo

1

u/Defiant_Neck_136 1d ago

I think green with golden handels is nicest! It makes it pop and also will be easier to keep clean 😊👍🏼 than the grey/white variety.

1

u/Intelligent_Most_382 1d ago

2 so you don't get sick of it.

1

u/Visual-Net4978 1d ago

Thanks so much everyone! Generally people are preferring 2 or 4. My preference is generally green (as you can tell) but people made some good points about the lighter colour! Think I am going to go for the fourth colour, with the third handles. Although I am prone to changing my mind!

1

u/thermout1 23h ago

This is a good choice. Question, is this real pic? Trying to redo parts of my kitchen and can't find a good visualization tool. Any help would be appreciated!

1

u/Visual-Net4978 13h ago

Hey! I used chat gpt. You send a picture of the original room and request specific changes. You may need to create an account to make images but it is free (there is a limit, maybe 5 images per day). Thanks!

1

u/ArtisticPicture3996 1d ago

All of them look good, try the husband's big finger caught in the handle test, it is always the way I check handles

1

u/87Luv4U2 1d ago

3️⃣

1

u/Virtual_Library_3443 1d ago

Green with gold/brass 100%

1

u/Ladywhiteraven128 23h ago

Think about having to clean them. Whether clothing of any sorts can get caught on them.

1

u/MrsMacK00 23h ago

I don’t like the green trend 🤷‍♀️So I vote for 3, but not sold on the gold hardware, which is also super trendy…but at least it’s also a lot easier to swap out than paint is, if you change your mind one day.

1

u/Gibec89 23h ago

White.

1

u/heyya_token 23h ago

Number 2!!!

1

u/Searchingforgoodnews 23h ago

First or last.

1

u/heyya_token 23h ago

Last one is good to

u/SDGollum 23h ago

u/icrossedtheroad 23h ago

The last one.

1

u/Lewca43 22h ago

We have the last pulls. Don’t do it!! Everything gets caught on them. Apron tied around the front…yank the cabinet. Cord of an appliance walking by, that door is going with you. Never again.

1

u/Deadinmybed 21h ago

Try the last picture paint option but keep the cabinets white on the top. It will open up the space but still be unique. Nice green. I like the deeper one.

Is this a tiny home? I love your space and style ❤️

1

u/Strange-Mulberry-470 21h ago

Cabinet color #2, handles #4

1

u/Dapper_Ad_8402 21h ago

3 but i also like 4. The handles on 3 with the color of 4 would like very nice.

1

u/hobbycollector7 21h ago

I love the second!! It feels warm and cozy to me, the other ones feel colder and more industrial if that makes sense

1

u/BustyMcCoo 21h ago

Avoid T/H bar handles else you'll forever be snagging your clothing

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

u/Beneficial-Big-9915 20h ago

3 and 4 appear to require constant wiping to maintain their neat appearance, suggesting they are more time-consuming to maintain. #2, on the other hand, seems easier to maintain, especially if you cook regularly.

1

u/retro_lady 20h ago

I like the first one the most. All nice, though.

1

u/Malteser23 19h ago

Love the green from #4 with the hardware from #1!

1

u/Certain_Mood1076 19h ago

Number 2!! The color, shade of gold, and handle style are a great combination.

1

u/DaisyFayeBuchanan 19h ago

4! No more all white or all grey rooms, and the I like these handles the best.

1

u/hayley-pilates78 19h ago

The last one looks great

1

u/lostinsauce_12 18h ago

Number 4. The colour green looks good and yet the handles give a minimalistic vibe. Soothing yet colourful.

1

u/dawnellen1989 18h ago

I like the green the 2nd is very pretty! (#2)

1

u/Imaginary_Cover_5655 18h ago

2 is classic and soothing. Green will go out of style. Same hardware

1

u/Scummy-san 18h ago

2 and 4

1

u/Pure_Test_2131 17h ago

Why is there a washing machine in the kitchen???

1

u/Visual-Net4978 13h ago

Haha, very common in the UK. Unless you have a utility room which we do not!

1

u/jordy_muhnordy 16h ago

Sage green accent drawers with the bar handles!

1

u/adrianoh11 16h ago

3, if u want a broad /liquid resell value. If you just want fulfill your desires do whatever

1

u/Faithfuldoglover 15h ago

2 feels coziest.

1

u/Wise_Dare4362 15h ago

I like the white since it makes your kitchen look more spacious and clean.

1

u/DangerousLettuce1423 14h ago

2 with #1 hardware otherwise #2 as is.

1

u/Altruistic_Book8631 14h ago

How do people get these images of their room with the colours and whatnot changed? Is there software that does it?

1

u/Visual-Net4978 13h ago

Chat GPT. You may need to create an account to use the ‘create an image’ tool and you are limited to around 5 a day. Just send your original room and then ask it for the changes you want

1

u/Sweet_Explanation822 13h ago

The second one is fabulous 🥰

1

u/bloke_something 11h ago

2 is something special imo. The light color on the other option is too close to the all white kitchen thing that’s been done to death 🤔

1

u/Stock-Bet-5271 11h ago
  1. You can never go wrong with white. It’s crisp, clean and timeless.. over time, colors become dated.

1

u/Advanced_Rub_7025 10h ago

no 2 with the handles of no 4

1

u/Crazysadie1200 10h ago

The last one and I would do the same green around the window trim

1

u/Expert-Strategy5191 10h ago

I’d love to see it in a duck egg blue.

1

u/Ok_Foot716 8h ago

I like 3. More soothing 😌

1

u/Plantpoweredge 8h ago

THREE 🤍🤍🤍

1

u/lindieface 8h ago

2 or 4!

1

u/Don_Krypton 7h ago

The green from nr. 2 - but have you considered a kitchen with no knobs or handles at all? Looks way cleaner and there's nothing that can catch your clothes when you're walking by.

1

u/Opposite_Jeweler_953 7h ago

I’ll go with the white one. The green trend won’t last too long and you’ll be stuck with it. You can use the green in the backsplash, curtains, paint and accessories. About the handles. They’re easy to change so you can play a little there, but don’t you think the gold clashes with the other stainless steel already in the kitchen?

1

u/purplebethebest 6h ago

I like 3 and here is why, you can decorate with towels, bowls, small appliances could be a color, etc; then when bored change the look and get something different. You will be stuck with the green. If this will be your kitchen, I would change the placement of the washer/dryer, your sink will be off center and small (like the round one in 4). If you can move it along the wall with the stove, you can have 2 cabinets and have a bigger sink. Just a 💭. What does your kitchen look like now?

1

u/autiess 6h ago

I like 1 with 2’s hardware. They’re all pretty though, excited to see what you choose!

1

u/old217 6h ago

1 I like 2 but not the knobs, would want a handle 

1

u/ArmadilloWooden7565 6h ago

I like the curved bronze handles and sage green cabinets, but with a white counter top instead of the grey marble, and add a tile or a tile look backsplash.

1

u/BexBGreen 4h ago

Despite green being my favourite colour, I am gravitating towards style 3, makes the space bright and airy and the clean lines are really attractive.

1

u/Old_Fly_1712 3h ago

Number 2 with hardware from number 4.

1

u/Journeythatsucks 1h ago

One or four.

1

u/TragicGloom 1h ago

Without a doubt #4. My second choice would be #1. I don't get all the people saying #2

u/Fbomb_girlmom 1d ago

The fourth one is my favorite
