Comments (18)I would definitely keep the rug, it adds a little pop of colour and lifts the neutral colour scheme, but I wouldn't go too bold and I wouldn't conceal the windows because it makes the room so lovely and light If it were me, I would add splashes of colour here and there accessorising with similar turquoise'y blue/orange'y red colours to pick out those in the rug and dot around some large glass containers with fruit in (edible art!!). A large mirror on the wall would look lovely with some sconces either side, on which you could sit some beautiful vibrantly coloured orchids/candles/vases etc. Then perhaps some shelves above the cupboard by the door with some brightly coloured glassware/jugs. You said you have some young children, what about framing some of their little pictures and putting them up under the shelves? I did something similar in my kitchen and it livens it up a bit (see below) I would also think about perhaps replacing the shade on the standard lamp with something to pick up with the rug, or perhaps match it to the ceiling one Have fun!...See MorePaint colour help for kitchen diner
Comments (22)I prefer the warmer tones too. Have you painted bigger samples? I'd try 2-3 coats on a3 and try them in different places in the room to see how they change in different lights. I think JW can have a slight pink undertone and it looks onscreen as if the rum does too. A white textured splashback would be good to "sandwich" the floor and units, would just make sure the shade matches the worktop. Another idea is a marble of sorts which would go well with the concrete. You mentioned black and green accents before I think (?!) and this could work really well with some brass accessories...See MoreNeed help for open kitchen diner colours please?
Comments (11)Yeah I haven't thought about when the sideboard is in place, with it being white gloss with a silver trim I thought it will still look all the same colour though and still needs something to break it up. I didn't know with being a sliding door and then the patio door whether curtains or blinds would look right on them, I think like you have said I'll see how the area looks when it's a bit more filled with the sideboard and then I can always add curtains/ blinds if needed. i'm glad I've uploaded the other side of the kitchen as I now see it definitely clashes with styles but hadn't thought about it, It's only a small change but I bet it will help to work with the dining room. Thank You very much for all your advice :) A few more ideas for me to go on now, that I hadn't considered....See MoreColor scheme for living/ diner
Comments (8)Thank you so much for your comments. The wallpaper is a before photo of the dining room, I've edited my post to say that now. Unfortunately we removed it last year as we painted the walls in a light grey and it didn't go with our color scheme. I'm not sure where it was from, I'm afraid. I think the wild mushroom has a bit of brown in it, I will order a sample soon....See Morekelly tanner

7 years agoHi. The kitchen looks a very different colour online! I'm assuming you don't want much contrast with the units based on the colour pics? You're going to need a warm grey but it may take some time to find the right one :( I would start with farrow and ball skimming stone (pic shows it in a north facing room), slipper satin and ammonite. I think you can afford to go darker on that dining wall, have you considered a textured wallpaper, faux grasscloth etc? Based on your first pic you like neutrals mixed with lots of texture so you could go for greige sofa (maybe a shade or 2 lighter than walls/kitchen) and then add your colour plus different shades of the greige from really light to fairly dark with different textures for cushions, throw and accessories. Alternatively you could go for a blush pink or duck egg sofa. Plants, herbs, flowers will lift the room. Perhaps add a really large mirror where the sofas are to make it feel wider and bounce light.
