    I dithered too! I love the matt cream. Ended up with light oak!!!!! But thats only because of the style of our house and everything in it. Still have flooring to go, but have light oak, black galaxy granite and just about to put a cream limestone floor down. White gloss is very "modern"...look at the style of your house and other features in it.

    I'd go for matt cream. I think the shaker style cream doors can look modern or classic, depending on what you put with it. I think they can brighten up a room but still make it look warm.

    Thank you all for your views (except one). This thread is quite old so I have already decided on matt cream with walnut worksurface and black floor.
