Hoping to get an honest opinion on my kitchen

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I recently had my cabinets re painted. I wanted to avoid “super trendy” option so I stuck with Pure White and added Tricorn Black on island and Hood. I have black mist granite on the counters. I splurged on unlaquered brass hardware. My issue is that I feel like the sink wall ( all white ) is lacking … I have tons of light so I’m not sure if I should paint the lowers on the sink wall black as well. I love how the black looks with brass hardware. Perhaps I need another window treatment or or something else that adds depth. Any ideas would be so appreciated. Max budget is 1500 😌

Beautiful space! I think the wall with the sink is feeling a little imbalanced because you don't have the visual weight of black finishes on the upper half of the wall. New window treatments, something moodier in a burgundy or even navy blue if you don't want to do something black, would look fab! I'm thinking Roman shades 😍

Your kitchen looks absolutely stunning! The black and white contrast is timeless, and the unlacquered brass hardware adds so much warmth and character. I totally get what you mean about the sink wall feeling a little flat compared to the island, though.

If you love how the black looks with brass, painting the lower cabinets on the sink wall in Tricorn Black could add some balance and make everything feel more cohesive. But if you’re hesitant to commit to more black, maybe consider adding texture instead, something like a richer window treatment (woven shades or even linen Roman blinds) or a darker runner to ground the space.

Another idea could be bringing in open shelving or a few statement wall sconces to add depth without painting. Your budget is solid for a small but impactful update, so it’s really about how bold you want to go.
