When designing a new kitchen, what's the most important element? Of course, the style of cabinet you go for has a big impact, and the layout needs to be spot-on, but really it's the kitchen color that makes all the difference. It's what you notice first, it's what your guests notice first, so it's really vital to get your scheme spot on.
Now, there's the obvious question of what kitchen cabinet colors are you going to go for, which seems to rule in the decision-making process, but you really need to decide on your wall color too – at the same time.

So we asked designers to weigh in, what's the best approach to this kitchen color conundrum? Should they match or should they not?
