French/shabby/elegant style dilemma!
Q

I think a shabby chic look isn't too dissimilar from an English country look so would look great in your house. A pale dove grey is perfect for shabby chic with pastel pinks and green with stripes, checks and floral fabrics, wallpaper etc. Brown is neutral so grey won't clash, however is the lounge carpet the same as throughout as this looks a pinky beige? Painted furniture is obviously key to the look especially white. If you did have a very dark brown carpet elsewhere I may not add white furniture. I personally wouldn't have anything over the fire, I feel the picture detracts from the fireplace. I do agree, sorry, I'm not convinced on the chandelier with your preferred decor. You can mix and match styles but the hard iron and colour just wouldn't work with the scheme in my opinion. A french style I also think would work, just lose the vintage accessories that make it shabby and some different patterned fabrics! I wouldn't do what I would define as an elegant scheme as I don't think it would work as well with the style of the house although french is elegant too If that makes any sense! Maybe post a pic of what you define as elegant!

It's so difficult isn't it? I am struggling with the same dilemma. I have considered everything myself and nearly went with engineered but at the last minute decided to go with a high quality laminate. I like to layer floors with rugs so most of the expensive wood would be hidden, we have a dog so during the wet horrible weather we have to consider the constant wiping of the floor in the winter months plus scratch marks and normal wear, real wood in kitchens can get tired quickly ( we had solid oak throughout in our old house and at the 3 year point they were starting to look shabby) I am afraid I have no answers other than I seem to have found a really good, real looking laminate board, made by no other than Villeroy and Boch. It looks really good for laminate with a very realistic wood grain (probably the best I have seen in a laminate) and probably what I will end up choosing for the whole of our downstairs aprox.80sqm. I will watch this thread with interest to see what other advice you will get, good luck .

@ Daisy England - I had an induction hob and eventually changed it for a Miele five ring gas hob as I hated cooking on it... :-) With regards to cleaning the induction hob I found that initially it was easy however if there was a milk spill, or even vegetable/pasta water, then eventually there was a stain that could not be removed however much we tried.

When designing a new kitchen for your home, you have many options to consider. From the colour and type of wall coverings, the material used for fixtures, hinges and flooring, cabinet and island design, cupboards, countertops, type of sink and appliance, you get the idea. In fact, the kitchen is one of the most custom tailored rooms in your home and it should be.
