Monochromatic Kitchens

[ Edited ]

 

What is your opinion of monochromatic kitchens?  Do you consider them timeless?  Does your kitchen have a monochromatic look?

 

A friend stated that my kitchen had a monochromatic look.  When I think about it I agree.  I have white cabinets, white and gray (mostly white) granite countertops, white, gray, and black backsplash, and gray walls.  My appliances are black stainless steel that blend well with the gray and white.

There were so many examples to choose from.  Forgive me if I posted too many.

I like the 1st and the 4th one best! My kitchen is not Monochromatic, and I do like the look, but I could see getting tired or bored of it quickly! The one good thing is you can always add color to add the contrast!

Very boring to me which is too bad since they're otherwise nice kitchens.  The gray one looks like it should be in a prison unit.  Horrible!

Overall, I'm not a fan.  I like some contrast normally done with the backsplash.  Kitchen #2 comes the closest.

I like the first posted kitchen.  I love blue kitchens, but that shade of blue in the blue kitchen would give me a headache. It's way too much.


I find that most of the kitchens posted  are meh, not something I would get excited about.

 

My kitchen is not monochromatic.

Loved 1 and 4 was ok. I happen to love an all white kitchen with a contrasting countertop.

@CANDLEQUEEN #3, 8 and 12 are HORRIBLE. I forget the number but #6 is quite pretty.

 

 

Most of the rest are either boring, old fashioned or too cold looking for my taste.

#3 & #6.My cabinets are the closest to 6.

I like the coastal look or what I think comes near it.
