Have you also thought about getting larger tiles - maybe 60 by 60 beige or light grey to compliment the new colours ?? Think about under cabinet lighting as well to add to the brightness on those full days

Hi Nicky, my apologies I have only just seen your message. We went for cornforth white Farrow and Ball (which it definitely not white). The shutters are not back open yet but some of them will need to go back on because the large expanses of grey look very grey. The bits next to the white look less austere. The new white garage door with windows has made a big difference. I'd be careful with a very pale grey because if your windows are anything like mine you'll find that they are not actually that white after all....

I like black and blue, theimage pjdklm posted is lovely. It can be a very dark look so make sure you have enough light in the room. Another option would be to paint the bottom cupboards dark blue and the upper cabinets a light colour. I would definitely try looking at it with an app that lets you try different colours in a photo first.

Tricky one - colour is incredibly fickle, especially when you compare different surface finishes (the PVC compared to chalky F&B) and in the unique light of a particular room, with all the other colours & surfaces in play. Personally I like the colour you now have, and might wait until I had painted walls - just doing this may get the space feeling closer to the colourway you envisioned. Different tiles to the reds & terracottas would also transform the look and allow the green to shine through. If you do take up the (very generous & honourable) offer of the sprayer, then be sure that the revised colour is going to tick your boxes. As others have said, a good few 5 star reviews around the web would be in order for a company offering good customer service like that! Oh, and the brass handles look great - you might also consider the American brass & American copper finishes from Croft & Assinder!!
