Okay I don't have a kitchen yet and I can't really decide, cause none of them is my dream kitchen but I don't wanna pay 6.000 €, so I need to pick one that's okay and functional. I'm procrastinating it since a whole month now... but I really need one. So maybe you all can help me to finally make a decision.
I have a Bordeaux colored retro-refrigerator. And I want a dark table and chairs. Maybe a black table, cause everything else is kinda blakish in the apartment. So the room looks like this:
Kitchen 1
Kitchen 2
Kitchen 3
None of them/ other

My kitchen is finally here 🙌 I wish I could show you all, but it does look exactly like the picture and fits so damn well into the room
Kitchen two will show dirt and stains the most, so you will know to keep it clean. But this can also be a detriment in that you may end up cleaning more than you like.
Kitchen three (my choice) looks the most natural and will also not show dirt the best. I am a clean person so I know I will be keeping it clean anyway, and the benefit is if there is some stain that cannot be removed like a wine or just the grime of time that will affect kitchen #2 much sooner and be a mark unable to remove, it won't be a problem in Kitchen #3. I also like the natural look. I do prefer a wood top to the black, unless the black is a stone/marble top.
Kitchen #1 would be my second choice, and Kitchen #2 my last choice. It's not that bad a look, #2, but as a former professional chef, I know the weaknesses over time and that is my consideration. I also prefer more storage, double sink, and no dishwasher (because dishwasher is stupid, you have to wash the dish before you put it in, it's just a waste of time, energy, and water, plus it requires repair usually within a year)
The darker cabinets (A) make a nice contrast with the lighter overall color of the room. If you can afford it, get Quartz countertops instead of the wood that's shown, in a color/pattern that connects the lighter walls with the darker cabinets. Sehr gut!
They're literally the same kitchen in different colours. It's the same range by the same manufacturer. So being blunt just go with whatever colour you like. Just be aware MDF means you'll be replacing it in not too many years in the future, so don't worry about it being a long term commitment.
For me it's between 1 and 3, but with 1 you can see small scratches and damage very easily, while 3 has more of a pattern throughout which would hide that.
Naah I'm not going to pay extra for a designer lol but we do have services like that here too, I could even design my own but it's going to be way tooo expensive for this apartment.
I respect that. I had a gay man do mine. It was amazing how much he understood how I would want my space to be a reflection of me and my living habits and style. Of course, he through in surprises here and there, things I didn't know I even liked. Like get this: a moss sculpture on the wall (like I ever would have done that for myself, you know).
