Ah lovely.
Does this thread do component breakdowns? :D
I'm thinking of doing a dark green paint on the cabinets, a sage green on the walls, a white quartz worktop, predominantly Miele appliances, brass handles and lighting (but Philips Hue inside), and a grey brushed slate or similar flooring.
It seems silly to not consider Miele or equivalent when the difference between £6k of entirely average appliances and £10k of insanely good appliances, as a % of the total cost of the kitchen really isn't that huge. It feels like once you've agreed to spend £20-25k that spending £25-30k and for it to enhance the total house value... it's just a no-brainer. Plus the hob and oven, those things likely never change in the life of the kitchen so going for the top at the outset seems wise.
What are the Bora and Kohler things you have? The Quooker is the tap right?

So colour wise we went Skylight and Juniper Ash, one is a Farrow and Ball colour the other is Little Green. We have Brass Handles and steel butt hinges. We have not painted the kitchen yet but the walls will be skylight as well. Flooring will be Amtico with a border / parquet.
Appliance wise we had two ovens , steam oven, microwave, two tall fridge freezers and a dishwasher. Quooker hot tap with sparkling. Kohler is the cast iron sink. Appliances set us back £14k....
Worktop and splash backs are black / grey granite with a leathered finish.
Our kitchen is 25m2, we set ourselves a budget of £40k on the kitchen and then sailed passed that

I'd be careful of this type of reasoning. Realistically, unless the kitchen is newly done then a lot of the premium options add little value in a lot of buyers' eyes. Anything that lasts is a bonus but for things like kitchen appliances you generally have the attitude that you've no idea of their history and they may well pack up shortly after purchase.

We have just finished our installation with a company called Great British Kitchen & Interiors. Shaker style Kitchen is superb, also went with Miele, Bora, Kohler & Quooker cube. The worktop has a leathered finish, it’s great as it does not show water / grease marks
