I can depend on the aspect of the room. Also, the tiles will have their own 'colour' so depending on what that is, the paint needs to work with it. If you go to an art shop like Hobbycraft and buy several large sheets of stiff card then paint the samples on very carefully at least two coats, this will be better than splodges on the wall.

Thank you both for responding. I really appreciate it Sonia Im not sure abut a very pale colour especially on the island which is really dark grey. I think it would be high maintenqnce to keep looking clean and a bit too much of a contrast? If you have found any similar I would love to see. I have looked but nothing that grabs me Marylee I put the worktop sample upside down sorry! I know what you mean re more wood though I have seen lots of examples where people have done it successfully. I guess it would have to match exactly. It's giving me such a headache!!

Hi @brynna_vetch How exciting taking the plunge and choosing colours! I really like the green, it looks like a really nice medium warm green which is perfect for your space. There's two ways I would be inclined to go with this - either commit to the green and have them all in harmony with each other. It would certainly keep the kitchen looking consistent and add some more colour to the room - you're so lucky to have such a bright space. Or you could keep a contrast but in a subtle way - maybe look at having an off white colour to match the walls (possibly a really really light dove grey) for the rest of the units that are already undercoated. I would always tend to say make the island the darkest colour so it feels freestanding and becomes the feature of the room. If you want my personal opinion, I would say go for the green all round. It's a lovely colour and I don't think in years to come you will be bored of it. Good luck and please update us with what you decide/photos :) Charlie @ The Kitchen Lady UK www.thekitchenladyuk.co.uk

This is a great family space. I wouldn’t use paint to zone the room but, like in you have in the 3D image, zone with the furniture arrangements and rugs. I would merge the seating and piano into 1, with a large rug to define, centralise the seating area and widen as the chairs are currently interrupting the Flow. Put the piano on the wall beside the smaller door with enough room for a stool and circulation. For colour, introduce lots of low maintenance plants, cushions, paintings.
