Brown - warm colour. Hence, more cozy.

Grey - cool colour. Hence, more cool / cold.

Both combination will do fine. However, the colour will also depend on the theme of your decor and /or colours of your living room / bed rooms. The colours have to flow and the house has to look coherent as a unit. Otherwise, you risk the whole house looking very tacky. Based on the rest of your 3Ds, I would say brown kitchen fits in better.

Hi there! I think you've got a lovely layout or your house and definitely more budget than me! The cost of the renovation is potentially due to the amount of carpentry for your place and by limiting the amount of carpentry the price comes down. I spent about $28k on my 5 room BTO...

Love your turquoise backsplash but I'm not so daring! The brown laminates are pretty dated. I suppose what you can do with the grey kitchen to make it more scandi is to brown laminate your trimmings where they show? Though with the backsplash, there might be a clash of colours. If you want a warmer looking kitchen, your cool tone backsplash will unfortunately look out of place. Have a look at my kitchen to see if it helps! :) http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/72412-nordic-crush/?page=16 

 

thanks for all the advice! really appreciate it.. i thot no one reading my blog ;)

i think with my marble floor, its very difficult to achieve scandi look, and it would look weird pairing wood grain laminates with my marble floor. so i had to adjust my thinking and my mood board to be more modern for my house. 

we have chosen mostly grey/brown laminates so i think a grey kitchen would go with the overall look. 

i had both sides of camp for the turquoise backsplash so asking id to choose a more soothing turquoise or blue colour to go with the kitchen laminates to see if it is a better choice. after that i will decide to stay with my daring choice or go for a more soothing colour.

love your kitchen.. its really scandi looking!

we have 2 kids and a lot a lot a lot of toys and other barang! :rolleyes: so storage is a must if we want to keep everything out of sight.. so decided to spend bit more on carpentry instead of buying off the shelf storage.. and that takes us further away from the scandi look... so modern look here we go!
