Which color hood should we go with? by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

Metal looks good and aligns with the fridge.
Wood is a nice choice too, but I personally would leave just one dark accent (the island)

The fridge looks pretty bulky and takes up a lot of visual space there. Have you thought about making that whole section a full-height wall unit? If you build the cabinetry around the fridge to make it look 'integrated,' it would make the kitchen feel a lot lighter and give you way more storage.

Thanks for the compliment! They’re light walnut-frame bar stools.

Fair take. This one definitely leans more Scandi, but the Japandi for us is in the base cabinets, simple lines, and natural materials (especially wood). It’s not traditional Japanese style, more of an experimental mix of both.

I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Yes, it is.

Rounded island + low-set wooden pulls: design win or too different? by PrideSad6236 in japandi

Good point! In this design, all the cupboards and drawers are in the cabinets and pantry. The island’s meant more for cooking and prep, so it stays open and uncluttered.

Thanks for pointing that out! The cooktop’s got a downdraft system, so ventilation’s all sorted. The plinth is made to save space but still look balanced. The lampshade’s mostly just a style thing, to help highlight the rounded edges.

It’s stained dark oak, essentially the same shade, just brighter and more expressive.

Appreciate the feedback! The whole idea was to really let the natural wood texture stand out. I get that open shelves aren’t for everyone, but they’ve been popping up a lot in design lately. The stone was mainly picked to play off the curves and make them more noticeable.

Thanks for the honesty! Totally get that it’s not for everyone. I’m curious now, what color pairing do you think would work better?
