Kitchen accent colours
Kitchen is almost in. Waiting on worktops (white) and a few other bits. Now, accent colours!? I have white blue and navy in the blinds. I am thinking orange accents? I seen some nice blue and orange bowls and cups that I will stack on open shelves
What colour would you go for with the island pendants?

Accent colour
Comments (12)hi, i was thinking of a grey but wasn't sure as I thought accent colours needed to be bright? i suppose the plummy pink of the curtains is fairly bright though. it's a big corner sofa that can take 12 cushions, so i thought 4 in curtain fabric, 4 in accent, then try to get a fabric that has the plum plus accent for the other 4. also have a big footstool to be covered in either (will be near rug so curtain colour may be too much). i will wait until curtains are up and in the meantime will explore olive green or grey fabrics. thanks for your advice, this is harder than i thought!...See MoreACCENT COLOURS?

Comments (14)Hi Kelly. It looks a great room. I would just add a textured throw over the arm of the sofa and some contrast and texture for the cushions and perhaps introduce another pattern. If you don't like colour then texture is fine but blush would be great. You could also add sheepskin seat pads (try Nordic house) for the chairs or just a sheepskin rug thrown over the back of one chair for a much cheaper option. I'd also change the glass fruit bowl for something else, maybe an old misshaped wooden bowl but something in a different material/texture. Personally I feel the tv and art is hung just a little too high but the TV might be fine for you! A couple of accessories would also be great. I've attached a pic of a dandelight which looks great under a cloche. In terms of faux plants and I always say this (!) but I love pussy willow and eucalyptus together and will work well in your room. I agree with Carolina re adding something on the left. You don't need this at all and may hate feature walls but I can see you like industrial so have found these wallpapers from rebel walls which I just thought I'd share! I agree with ggirl though, just let the room evolve a little more when you find things you love as it looks great already...See MoreKitchen accents
Comments (11)Thanks for replying Daisy! I think I'm with the masses on the mono colour tops though lol.. it's mostly the marble effect I'm not a fan of, but the kitchen as a whole is rather nice, just needs a splash of colour and I love lime green! I plan to pick up some paint colour swatches, so I'll definitely try that too. :)...See Moreconfused! art work and wall colour accent colours

PRO10 years ago- 10 years agoOrange is the perfect colour to complement blue, as it sits opposite it on the colour wheel.
I agree that copper tones could work well. How about this light pendant from Industville.

Be careful not to overdo the orange/copper though- an accent should be no more than 5-10% of the room.
Best of luck. Would love to see a finished pic!

10 years agoHi we've recently had kitchen extension. F&B railings for island & Purbeck Stone for units. I bought these lights from Industville, great price & give off beautiful glow (bulbs bought from Dunelm). Your kitchen looks amazing! Yellow/mustard goes well with blue & grey. Best of luck.

PRO10 years agoHi Michelle
The kitchen looks great so far.
Here are some examples of our pendant lighting that would really work well. I think brass would look good but we do offer many of these models in Copper and Pewter.

Just a thought, we could also have lights made in your choice of colours. For example these could be made in F&B colours.
We have loads more styles. This is a burnt orange but we can do any F&B colour. Bespoke paint will add a little to the cost but it's worth it for a completely unique kitchen.
Here's a link to a few more.

PRO10 years agoCopper would definately work very nicely. You can also combine copper, gold and silver as per image below - Tom Dixon lights. I would definitely suggest Orange as an accent and a bit of yellow too. It will bring the room alive.
