Comments (6)Thank you very much for all the advice. We have already thought about mounting the TV up but decided against it as the wall is solid and it would therefore cause a lot of mess. What do you think as these as an option (maybe three together): http://monoqi.co.uk/gb_en/flash-sale/unobtrusive-steel-shelving/tomado/3-book-shelves-white.html...See Moremy kitchen painted grey with white counter tops.

Comments (9)That's more or less the same colour doors as my kitchen. I have pale grey on my walls but have a feature wall in lime green. Perhaps you could do a feature wall? Lime green and orange look good with greys. If you Google images putting in some keywords it'll bring up some great photos. Was only looking this morning for orange splashbacks for someone and the pix were great if you're frightened of experimenting or colour....See MoreMichelle

8 years agoSounds lovely. I love Down Pipe with a light worktop & you've got the right size of room to pull it off. Cornforth White looks good with it. I've attached a photo of one of my projects that mixes Down Pipe, Plummett & Cornforth White. Good luck! CPI

8 years agoWe are worried Purbeck stone may be too light/on the units? We have no wall units and an american fridge and 2 x double larder units on the wall in the third pic (one of which is a door through to pantry). I have toyed with Railings but I don't think want as big a contrast, plus I think it could tie me too much to blue tones. It's an open plan kitchen living room and I want a bit of flexibility on accent colours.

8 years agoIn your case I think I would be tempted to go with something like railings on the island to give the work top definition but more importantly bring the windows in to the scheme (which look like anthracite aluminum). Hench going for a dark grey with a slight blue undertone to match the anthracite.
This is a recent one we did with similar scheme. Charcoal base units, french gray wall units, Little Greene Swallows on the wall a quartz carrara worktops.
Or if you don't want to go so bold on the island then I would be tempted to keep all the units the same. You'll have to excuse the picture!!!! but hopefully get the idea and the floor is closer to what you describe - Units french grey, walls little greene Inox, designer white corian worktops
Or as another option go for light grey units and go a bit bolder with the the wall colour. This is a modern kitchen but again you get the idea hopefully. French grey units, anthracite island, white corian and steel worktop, french grey walls but with Little Greene Bone China Blue glass splash backs, so you could imagine what this kitchen would have looked like with bone china blue walls, instead of the french grey. And in your case would frame and give definition to your fridge/freezer larder units which run the risk of fading in to the back ground if too similar to the walls.
Your kitchen designer should be able to update your renders with the colours you're playing with, also get them to update the floor and window colours to suit so you get the whole scheme.Michelle

Thing is, we will have to look at this kitchen for a long time. I think this style is going to date very quick? More muted tones of grey might be more timeless?

8 years agoHi Michelle - I have been having exactly the same dilemma and we seem to have similar kitchen plans. I think I am going to go with Little Greene Lead on my island and Little Greene French Grey on all my other units. They are very similar to Farrow and Ball Lamp Room Grey and Pavillion Grey. I found looking at photos online an absolute mine field as they always look different but I keep looking at the sheets I painted and I am happy. Hope that helps!

8 years agoHi
I was having same problem
Spent a fortune on sample pots
Ended up picking Manor House grey for bottom units teamed with cornforth White
I'll try to send a pic of the colours so you can see them together
However my kitchen gets no sun so I've sadly had to change to creams and whites which I'm still pondering
It's not easy is it?
This is Manor House grey with cornforth White
Looks nice
I've got wardrobes in the Manor House and it looks lovely

8 years agoWe added railings to the combination today. I think it is too dark but am tending towards a navy tone for the island. Any suggestions for a navy, bit lighter than railings (f&b or lg)? Something like the below pic, unfortunately these were the designers custom colours.
