The kitchen diner is almost finished (20x12 ft) just the splash back and the walls painted and I'm finished inside
Photo 1 shows the wall in question. The cabinet are pretty close to F&B Ball Green, the splash back I'm looking at is a blue green. For the other three walls I'm thinking either Jasmine White or Egyptian Cotten
Photo 2 shows my view from inside: I'm looking out on an old stone windmill and a green area supporting trees. The outside patio be finished in a cobble effect brick to tie in with the Windmill and the house which is red brick and about 50 years old
Photo 3 shows the opposite wall it supports a : wood burner, TV, Cooker, and an inbuilt larder and fridge freezer.
Really would appreciate your views, especially on the first photo. At present I'm using Dulux and F&B colour charts

Orla Kiely wallpaper.. But what colour paint for walls?
Comments (18)I was looking for advice on exactly the same dilemma! We have chosen Orla Kiely Giant Abacus for a feature wall in the living room. Grey background, cream petals with an olive centre. We have a cream carpet and cream leather suite with mid grey armchair and room doesn't have big windows, so trying to maximise the light. What colour would you suggest for the other walls? Thank you so much for your kind suggestions!...See Morewhat colour to paint walls?
Comments (7)Def. agree with painting same scheme throughout (we just did our whole flat in two shades top to bottom, has made it look much bigger and made some irregular spaces flow together). If you want neutral/white, which would go well with the brickwork, then from F&B would say look at White Tie and New White (yellow-based shades) and Dimity, as mentioned. Though brickwork could bring 'too much' of the red in the latter out? Maybe have All White on the ceiling. You would then have to decide what to do with the woodwork: go trad with white (same as ceiling) or go contemporary with a darker shade. Latter possibly more interesting, but more going on (four shades including the brickwork), so furnishing would be trickier to get right....See MoreWhat colour carpet and walls will go with the wardrobe?
Comments (2)Hi there, do you have any photos of the wardrobe and space? Practicality is one of the main reasons why white or cream isn’t the first carpet colour choice as people are worried it will show up the dirt or stain easily. However these days, it’s possible for a pale carpet to keep its good looks, even in heavy traffic areas. Cormar offers a selection of easy-clean, stain-resistant polypropylene carpets that are even bleach cleanable, which means surface dirt like mud and spills, simply wipes away with a damp cloth. If white or cream still isn’t screaming out practicality, why not choose a silver or grey carpet which can be more sympathetic to spills and stains, especially in an easy clean fibre. Or if you’re feeling bold, why not choose a dark blue or charcoal carpet, play around with contrasting colours in the paintwork, furnishings, and well-chosen accessories for a touch of glamour. You can browse our selection of carpets that are designed to cope with everyday household spills here http://www.cormarcarpets.co.uk/types_easy_clean.php Let us know what you decide!...See Morewhat colour to paint walls
Comments (3)I quite like the white tbh. I think it it’s the blueish light coming from above where the the washing machine is that makes it look a little drab. Is there a skylight there or different lighting? I do like the wallpaper, possibly paper the washing machine wall the same to give that area some extra interest and warmth. Is the washing machine going to be concealed? Just thinking a continuous run of units would look much neater. If you did want to re paint then I think perhaps just a warmer shade of white but not yellowy. Paint a few testers on large sheets of paper and compare at different times of day....See More

Have you had a look at Little Greene?... They have some lovely chalky colours and I really think you could find something fantastic... Think earthy stone colours.. Plaster, Putty, Stone, and the chalky matt finish adds depth and warmth..I think these 3 would compliment your kitchen beautifully and work well with chrome.....
Then add wooden chopping boards and lovely marble accessories for additional texture which is good in a kitchen..
LG colours are... Acre,Clay Mid and Hammock... Keep the black place mats in a drawer until you want to use them.. that way you get to see the wood of the table..
:))
