Need to brighten up the walls in my black and white kitchen. It's not so bad with lights on but day time it is bland and dark at one end. Was looking at splash backs but have gone through the whole colour range and keep changing my mind. I'm stuck on a light grey splash back at the moment as my kitchen is open into the hall which is grey. Can't be to fussy because of the mirror metro tiles in sink area. Need help please

what colour should i go with on my frontroom walls to brighten it up
Comments (2)Hi. Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up an area, I think a select piece of art would really make the space stand out, add interest, colour, texture and add a great talking point to the room.... Please check out my website if you like the idea and please get in contact, commission work is also welcomed so if you like a particular style I can do in a select colour palette and size as an original piece…..I’m also able to produce all original paintings in high end print format, in any size same or smaller than the original. (all within proportions to the original so not to cause distortion) All prints shown are Giclee prints onto soft textured fine art media. All prints come with a white border these can be made to measure too. So lots of options, www.guigsart.co.uk...See MoreHelp to brighten up my garden
Comments (14)Lovely potential to develop this space! Looking back towards your house from the garden area, what about window boxes under each of your ground floor windows with simple fixed shutters (louvre doors) either side of the long window? Keep your house walls light colour as at present with white painted window frames and either white or gentle soft green door, shutters, gate & window boxes. I would want to plant troughs along the left hand wall with some climbing plants as well as colour as in Kevin's sketch & I would also consider an outdoor mirror in the centre opposite the RH ? Kitchen window to reflect colours of the window box planting back to the house but I wouldn't want to restrict access back to the house by too much overplanting. Certainly power washing the yard & covering with pea gravel could be good or paving as in main garden. Instead of knocking down the wall & if expenses allow, what about a wrought iron gate giving an impression of peeping into a Moroccan courtyard?! Enjoy your exciting project & have fun!...See MoreHelp with brightening up my living room with accessories.
Comments (23)I think I would try tweaking the layout slightly. Try the sofa flat in the middle of that wall and paint the radiator in the wall colour. Angle one chair in the corner of the room facing the sofa, move the other along and put the smaller table under the other with the lamp on (Art would need to move slightly). I think a tall plant always adds life to a room (other side of sofa to what's shown). I'm not sure if I'm right in saying you don't like the wallpaper? If you don't you could look at Cole and son cow parsley, it comes in a warmish grey Which might be worth trying. If you like that one can look for cushions and a rug to complement. Would you consider a coffee table or larger footstool for the room? Something round could work. Is the inside of the fire just plastered?...See MoreHelp me brighten up my dark kitchen
Comments (14)Thanks for suggestions ...so cans from top of dresser have gone (in garage) Rugs gone as it was wrong style (but nice on stone floor) I need the blinds going through to conservatory for privacy on an evening. Even though they’re a bit dull I absolutely love the mirror as it’s a beautiful old solid distressed one but maybe too heavy style for that spot as I never loved it in kitchen My dresser is painted in farrow ball French grey and I love it so wouldn’t want to punt it I need an oil cloth for table Feeling the wallpaper should go but what on walls...See More

I'm thinking light grey on the walls as its open to my hall which is light grey with chrome spindles and black framed pictures, I have seen a black backsplash with a martini glass printed on it what do you think?
