Hi Patricia, I come across this problem a lot, I match the colour samples in the studio and they work perfectly. When we take them to site the lighting in the room totally changes the look of the colour pallets we chose. Lesson one for us, "always" put the colour samples in the room before agreeing them with the client. Lighting is the single most important factor with pastel colours. If its a north facing room colours will always look dull. Due to the position of the window the units under the window will always be in shadow which neutralises the blue tones and brings out the grey. Two ways of approaching this. 1 Re paint with a stronger blue to offset the neutralising effects of the lighting. 2 Change the lighting. Put an extension into the room and get a few different lights, LED warm white, Soft white, brilliant while etc. Look at the effects in the day and in the evening. When you find the light source that brings out the blue tones use that on all the lights in the room... With regards to colour on the walls, at the risk of being boring I always go white. When you put white up against a pastel colour the pastel shades really pop out. When you put another colour in it alters / distracts from the pastel. Hope that helps, Martin: www.angel-martin.com

Hi there, Beautiful kitchen by the way. I would recommend that you go for a cement or grey granite effect floor tile. This should compliment the kitchen and create a warm feel. I would avoid lighter colour tiles as I feel these may clash with the worktop and wall tiles creating an unbalanced look. Check out the following as a suggestion. Please also note that the same manufacturer does have wood effect tiles that are very realistic and would work well too (under the same range): http://www.worldsendtiles.co.uk/p-3012-statale-9-nero-cemento-wet-200x1200x10mm.aspx Would love to hear how you get on. Kind regards and happy new year. Johannes.

Hello! It’s arrived but is being fitted Monday :0) The colour wasn’t quite what I wanted as although it’s not supposed to have any blue in it, if can look blue in some lights. I don’t mind it looking deep navy but sometimes it looks lighter. Will see when it’s all up though as with the worktop on the island and overhang, it will probably just look more black! Bear in mind the company didn’t use actually F&B paints as they mix their own. Definately advises paying for a test door first as they got the colour totally wrong at first (was bright blue!) and it was hard work getting the manufacturers to check it and do it again. They almost didn’t.

agree with One Plan, check the spec of the american fr/frz as most fridges can't be fitted in corners, there's also regulations on how close a gas hob can be fitted to an opening window. you could swap the larder tower and fridge around and also swap the drawer unit around for the oven/hob but you'd lose the wall unit. the second plan might work but i'd lose the top box and the tower decor panels (unnecessary expense), can't really see the rest of the design.
