The choice of Laminate vs Painted vs Veneer would be how you would be using your kitchen and sometimes personal preference as well. 1. Laminate finishing in your kitchen would allow you to have a great choice of colours from woodgrain, pastel, gloss, etc. Laminates are also more resilient to scratching and wear. 2. Spray paint finishing depends on the type of colour you choose, will give the cabinet a real nice feel especially in a matt type white finish. Spray painted finishes do have a con with chipping and scratches in the long run. 3. veneer is made out of natural wood and if you are someone who likes the natural and warm finishing of a natural looking wood finish, this would be a good choice. Although veneer has a high tendency for scratches and marking, so you would need to have special care with it.

Don't spend the money to match the exterior finish of the cabinetry on the cabinet interiors, you want the interiors to be easy to clean and a light material so you can see what is inside them. No one will notice or care if the interiors match the exterior (these days it is pretty much industry standard that they do not match) If the cabinet doors have glass fronts then definitely match the exterior or use a pop of paint color on the cabinet backs.

Hi Reena, Agreeing to Cornerstone Professionals here. However, if the construction has quite progressed and you don't have budget to change you can start thinking of ways to make it work :) It doesn't seem like it will be that off - the matt finish navy blue. Once its done, share pics and lets see how we can go around to making it still lively. You mentioned " How to place the colours in top and botoom cabinets " for this, it would be easier to suggest if you'd share how the white and navy blue colours are distributed. Do you have a rending of this project you can share? atom INTERIORS, Bangalore

Hello Saj shk, Always avoid using high gloss as oil stains are more prominently seen in such surface. Your grey laminate is too dull and shabby to be used in an area where you need more lively effect. Try to go for different combination. Now a days acrylic sheets are available with great finish and good colours and it is 90degree bendable so joints are smooth and finished. Design the o.h. cabinets in such a way that you utilise total height of the kitchen and Use profiles for the same.
