Hello dopcam, Compliments ! Its a great open kitchen. Please see if you like Century Almond Ivory 127 LU and Graphite Grey 238 LU combination. It will look awesome in this kitchen. As the sink is on the right wall it's not recommended place for an island. You may see if you like a standalone island . Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore

Kanupriya, Well when you say 'it can be touched' I hope your don't mean you are going to let such a sober place be taken over by this piece. I would recommend you suggest vinyl stickering to your clients (for center 4 shutters at least). That should leave the client with a flexibility of removing the vinyl when they want to. You can take the cues from the color splash and decorate appropriately. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

@Cornerstone design studio: Apologies for making big post; thought that more info will help. @Rupal ji, If it sounds like I dont need any changes; my apologies for that. Let me put it in short,"I am looking for options that give modern facilities without leaving good things from old charm/ comforts. " Thanks for the straight forward comments. I shall try to edit my original post to make it simpler and that looks open to new ideas.

Grey is trending big time now. And don't worry about it being too dark. You can offset that with a white counter top, white dado and steel accessories and of course interesting lights
