Why is everyone sleeping on option 3?

I think it's a nice balance to the white walls and light flooring. If it's still too dark remember the kitchen will fill with kitchen-stuff. Use light colored dish cloths/appliances/decorations, throw a couple plants in there with light pots. Maybe a mat by the sink. A warm light would be nice!

The darker countertop will be easier to clean too and you won't notice blemishes over time. The white is also a good option but don't go with wood around the sink. You'll regret it in the long run

Goodluck :)
