I have a colour problem with my new kitchen!

9 years ago

I have a new kitchen. Slate on the floors. Farrow & Ball Blackened on all cabinets but Island is painted Blue to match existing blue Aga but lighter. All work tops white with a slight vein in dark grey. Walls Platinum Pale, Fired Earth, ceiling white.
My dilemma is Everything and I mean everything in this room takes on a 'blue' hue. All the units, the walls.
I wonder if I paint the walls brilliant white instead of pale grey?? I have done nothing about colour for the splash back behind the AGA and gas top in case that comes out blue too!
Help!

I read a post by an interior designer colleague of mine, who suggested someone bring in something from the opposite side of colour spectrum to mellow out an over strong colour - so in your case that's orange .... Try it with an orange sweat top or blanket to see if it helps ?!

( I'm a planning geek? rather than colour expert... But it's worth a try !)

Thank you everyone, I sincerely appreciate all your interest and advice. Since I posted last week the electrician has installed a piece of kit that allows one of the circuits of 12 spots to dim to dark. It's called a Hamilton GRID-IT LED dimmer. The same piece of kit has not worked for the other circuit of 18 spots. As instructed by my electrician I have returned the fitting to get a replacement as he thinks it may be faulty. We will try again next week. I have attached a photo of as much of the ceiling for you to see for yourselves. Jonathan, thank you so much. The ceiling is the bog standard 'Brilliant White' but the walls are Farrow and Ball 'Strong White' which is a very pale grey which has helped reduce the dazzle. I will look into toning down the ceiling too. I hadn't thought of that, so thanks again. Clever, thanks for all your interest. I can't find the technical details of the spot or the dimmer but have attached a photo of the spot. As mentioned above, only the circuit of 18 in the extension doesn't dim to dark now, but the electrician is going to try and fit a replacement dimmer next week. Thank you so much. Source, thank you, I did wonder if that is possible. I'm not sure if my budget can stretch to that but in some ways I think that would be the best solution. I will ask my very patient builder to quote. Thanks again.

Hi, I think a plain beige rug would look good, the same colour that is in the sofa. I wouldn’t choose a bolder colour as the sofas make quite a statement already. Something like this maybe

Our builder created the hole in the wall, the door company measured the hole and the doors were made to fit the hole. Hole blocked up with wood for 7 wks til the doors arrived.
