My daughter has Terra Cotta colored tile floors. What color do you suggest for the cabinetry and countertop in laminate?

Use a 50/50 paint, water wash. Try it on the inside of a door or the underside of a drawer. Terra Cotta is reddish. Green is a complementary color. It's also orangish...blue is it's complement. You could use Teal. A blue jean wash would look great. To really make a statement, white wash the cabinets first, let it dry...then add the color wash. I've seen this in a decorating magazine...looks great! Take a pix, I'd love to see it! Good luck! Have fun!

Creamy white cabinets would work well.
As for the counter top, it would depend on what kind you are getting > laminate , granite, > I would suggest a "speckled" design, incorporating the terra cotta, creamy white and black. I think it would look quite stunning.

The first color that comes to mind is green, or anything Southwestern-themed.

Ecrue or a Soft yellow-ish white.
If she'd prefer it to be a little darker, maybe go with a natural wood.
