For those artistic/design types

I have a question:
Which do you like better for this kitchen "color" scheme?



or



(Click on images for larger versions.)

Notes on kitchens/renders.
Both are the same kitchen, of my a-frame house.

The first kitchen was rendered with the camera's FoV (Field of View) set at 90deg., while the second's FoV was the default 60deg.

The second render's back-splash should be more beige than "peach", but "peach" works as well.

The second's counter top should be the same "sandstone" color as the edging, but the glare makes it look white,though white/off white/egg-shell white would also look good.

The counter top is the same color in both kitchens, "sandstone".

The door/drawer hardware would be brass for the first scheme and chrome for the second.

Any comments would be appreciated.

I saw this on the LJ image search.
IMHO,I like the second image best with beige & white, never cared for peach.

Happy Holidays.

I don't care for the avacado green countertops ... looks like something my mom would choose. Other than that, I prefer the lighter palette of the top image. Seems friendlier.

Your monitor needs adjusting, as those are sandstone yellow, not avacado green. :=3

I will admit, however, that the top image's counter top looks "greener" due to the shadows.

I think you should do orange countertops and avocado green appliances. Give the house that "kinda old, lived-in" look. Not because it looks good (Lord knows it doesn't!), but because it gives the house some authenticity.

I like the top one because the black drawers look like holes in the cabinetry that want to suck in your dishes, you, the dishwasher, and even light.

Have the best

They look greenish to me too; not quite avacado, but definitly more greenish than yellowish. Mebbe it's your monitor? ;)

Of the two I prefer the top one. The bottom looks too sterile to me, and while that may serve some, It's not my preference. At least not for a home. For a restaurant, perhaps, it would do nicely.

The high tech lower image. Nice view out the window, you have.

i like the first one, much warmer and homely :)

Lower image. :)

Especially if it's got wood panel flooring. (I love wood panel floors.)

The first (coral cabinets) is "warm" and the second (black and white cabinets) is "clean"; I believe it's a matter of which you want.

I think either one would be improved by a light beige countertop. Or, for the second, you could just make the walls white. See, if your hues don't match, a beigey off-white and a sandy off-white next to each other will look like pink & yellow no matter how subtle they are.

I like the second image more, mainly because of the contrast between the cabinets and the doors, and it looks more professional. I think the top one could look great if there was some contrast, instead of everything being the same colour, I'm not sure what would look good, though.

The top one definitely has a comfortable, almost cozy, feel to it, while the bottom one has an open, airy sense about it. It all depends on what you're planning on using it for as to which one would be best. Mainly if your dining area is in the kitchen or another room, and if you're going to have guests in the kitchen or not.

That's just my thoughts on them.
