Hi. I love the upcycling! I agree with feioi. I'd go for an inky blue on the bottom cabinets ( and the chairs) and a lighter neutral ( creamy greige) on top with an even lighter neutral on the walls. This kitchen by mowlem is in Farrow and ball railings and purbeck stone. I'd go for a white worktop, preferably a marble effect. I love the idea of copper handles but there don't seem to be that many around and could work out pretty expensive. I've found one stockist but ebay may be worth a try.http://allhandlesandpulls.co.uk/handlesandpulls/cabinet-pull-handle-7032-polished-copper-beslag-design.html if not, I'd look at chrome and nickle as they'd also look great against both an inky blue and the red. I've just changed all of mine for £150 and it makes a massive difference. I'd actually remove that ŵall hung unit. I'd also look at a floor lamp in the corner by the sofa with a Few prints over the sofa, maybe some typography, a newspaper art and then something modern with a splash of red to tie in with the table and sofa? and a large mirror above the table to bounce some light around. Add a navy geometric throw, this one is from John Lewis with some grey, navy, white cushions. Do you actually need curtains or blinds for privacy, security etc? I would be tempted to at least do away with the kitchen blind to let light in.

Hi. They seem to have a different finish? I would just go for cup handles with Victorian knobs personally. These are polished chrome to match the cup handles https://www.amazon.co.uk/Victorian-Cabinet-Cupboard-Polished-Chrome/dp/B0088V8HVC/ref=sr_1_1?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1487665032&sr=1-1&keywords=victorian+cabinet+cupboard+door+knob+polished+chrome

Personally I think all oak is a dated look but I love to see just a few oak touches in a painted kitchen. Perhaps a chalky white, or a contemporary neutral with oak touches such as drawer boxes, pantry inserts, the inside of LED lit glass cabinets, pull out chopping boards and serving trays, inside of open shelf space units or maybe a statement canopy around the range. Although the look/colour has to be commercial I think any kitchen is elevated with thicker end panels, feature plinth, sophisticated pantry cabinets, dresser cabinets with fold back doors, having the right height cabinets to suit the architecture, integrated lighting, attractive end of island display options, and an attention to detail so that panels on cabinet doors all line thought.

I am from the school that a handle is a handle whether on a drawer or door. But picking the right one would make all the difference. I think brass cup ones would look great, we are considering these ones for our kitchen, not exactly cup but thought you might like to see them https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/614401657/america-dresser-drawer-pulls-knobs?ref=cart.
