Need advice on how to do a new kitchen?

Taking out all the cupboards, and what to put on the floors. I want it in white with a little black and some red?Need advice on how to do a new kitchen?
Have your cupboard in white with a black kick-board at the bottom, and black handles. That way if you want to change the colours at any time, you can paint the kick board and get another colour handles. Have tiles and 1/2 way up or up top the ceiling. But have way up the walls means that you can then put a strip tile, about 4';wide at the top of where the tile ends, in white/blacks/reds.





Italian tiles have the best choice. If you have a window put white voile curtains, with a red tie-back, and being your red in as a colour with a vase and fruit bowl and kettle and dis towels.





Go for white tiles on the floor or a pattern of white and black.Need advice on how to do a new kitchen?
You and I are soul sisters! My kitchen has white cabinets, black counters, and red walls. The flooring is 12-inch black and white alternating tiles. Don't be afraid of overdoing the black and red, because if you go with all white cabinets, the white will already dominate, and the red (mine is Behr's California Poppy ... a REAL red!) and the black will play off the white beautifully!





If you're replacing the appliances, too ... go with stainless if you can. I even have stainless trash cans! If you're looking for an accent color ... turquoise! Well, pretty much all bright colors look good with the red, white, and black.





Have fun with it. Good Luck!
