Hi there, how are you? The paint used was Tikkurila feelings colour matched to Farrow & Balls Lamp Room Grey. A beautiful shade that worked wonderfully with the new oak worktop. I hope this helps. Thanks.

how do I make my kitchen cabinets look grey instead of blue?

Hi Patricia, I come across this problem a lot, I match the colour samples in the studio and they work perfectly. When we take them to site the lighting in the room totally changes the look of the colour pallets we chose. Lesson one for us, "always" put the colour samples in the room before agreeing them with the client. Lighting is the single most important factor with pastel colours. If its a north facing room colours will always look dull. Due to the position of the window the units under the window will always be in shadow which neutralises the blue tones and brings out the grey. Two ways of approaching this. 1 Re paint with a stronger blue to offset the neutralising effects of the lighting. 2 Change the lighting. Put an extension into the room and get a few different lights, LED warm white, Soft white, brilliant while etc. Look at the effects in the day and in the evening. When you find the light source that brings out the blue tones use that on all the lights in the room... With regards to colour on the walls, at the risk of being boring I always go white. When you put white up against a pastel colour the pastel shades really pop out. When you put another colour in it alters / distracts from the pastel. Hope that helps, Martin: www.angel-martin.com

Thanks CreatPerfect, yes the rendering looks such a useful tool, that could be good. Nice kitchen, too. Minnie, yes! That's the green kitchen I was thinking of. I wonder if we could pull off such a bold statement... It's all pretty light and bright at the moment. Don't want to repaint the walls as they've just been done, and figure the few cabinets would be easier to change. Good advice to wait until the floor etc is in. No splashback, just a 5cm strip of the same marble going around. Thanks so much for saying it's still a lovely kitchen, ColourHappy! It is quite gut-wrenching to spend so much and have it not look quite right... And many thanks for explaining what's going on here colourwise... Makes total sense. We sort of knew we'd have that problem with the Sand and marble, but was steering away from grey-toned paint (as surrounded by concrete brutalist buildings) and wanted something light and bright and that would work with brass and the oak floors. I found the pale neutrals from Paint and Paper a bit restrictive... Although have used Slate 2 and Wattle 2 in bedrooms and probably should have used one of those here, too. The other problem is that the marble is supposed to be Carrara Bianco, the whitest... But maybe that's the colour trickery at play. I hope the brass finishes work, as the tap will be quite pricey. Going for unlacquered for a less blingy look. I just hope it doesn't look 80s, like the kitchen we've just pulled out!

paint for north facing lounge
Q

We also have a North facing lounge for which we wanted a warm, cosy feel as we only really use it in the evenings... We painted it Hague Blue and love the result! In the dining room we painted the ceiling Hague Blue too. Our kitchen is Green Smoke which is also a gorgeous colour and may go better with the grey sofas...? There are a couple of other greens I’ve seen and liked too but will have to find the names!
