Little Greene kitchen colour combinations

7 years ago

I am totally stuck on the colours to choose for our new kitchen. I definitely want shades of grey (not too cold, so I'm leaning more towards greige!) and I like the look of lighter side cabinets, and a darker island. I love the Little Greene colours but I am struggling to pick colours that will work with our current woodwork (which is consistent on the skirting boards and doors throughout our whole house, so I'm reluctant to change it). The woodwork is Dulux Bleached Lichen 3, which is a v similar colour to Farrow & Ball Shaded White. It's not a million miles away from Little Greene's Slaked Lime shades, but they're not my favourites!

So I guess the question is... should I treat the whole kitchen as a blank canvas, and forget the consistent woodwork in the house? Or are there other Little Greene colours that would work with this colour?

Thanks in advance!!

Which green or grey/green for kitchen cabinets?

ok so I'm still al little confused but almost decided (mainly cos i can't take this strange indecision anymore!) So 3 tall integrated of/larger fridge & pull out larder units on back wall (in photo) and l shape base units only in Slipper Satin. Worktop in snowy ibiza as it has a taupe tinge to it so works well with Slipper Satin but lighten the room too and wimborne white (or possibly Valspar Fluffy Robe) for the walls and open shelves. I still want my champagne bronze tap and am hoping it will go but it's the only thing I'm not certain on now and the only thing i'm dead set on having! Off to look at Kahrs flooring samples today.

It's a lovely kitchen. If your question is re layout then I'd post a plan of your room. I might go for a subtle marble effect worktop rather than plain white. I also like the brass handles which IMO work better with the colour than chrome/nickel. The parquet is lovely and you could also consider a darker shade or a colour for the island if wanted. With it's blue undertones I think it would probably work well with F&B railings or LG Basalt.

I think anything will change with a change in light. Funnily enough I was looking at this myself this week. I've chosen F&B colours for the exterior but want to use LG paint re quality and coverage. I've only got as far as ringing Kent Blaxill ATM but my local one doesn't have a scanner for the LG machine. I did read a professional article a couple of years ago saying LG could match F&B extremely well but I can't find the article again so that's not terribly helpful..

Hmmm difficult one. I’ve read that kitchen manufacturers prefer Little Greene’s eggshell. Now I’ve used the water based eggshell on some furniture and it’s fine, but I’m not convinced it’s tough enough for a kitchen, so maybe they use the oil based one? I’ve painted my front door in Farrow & Ball exterior water based eggshell and it has fared really well. I personally cannot use oil based paints as they give me a very bad headache so water-based only for me.

Thanks for your reply. I was looking at Grey Moss earlier, as I can see how it would work with the Bleached Lichen 3. I didn't really want to lean towards green shades, but I think maybe I need to work with what I already have!

Are you planning to change the colour of the existing kitchen or re-making it completely?

The entire kitchen is being replaced. So we need to repaint everything (walls, new cabinets, skirting, ceiling etc!)... so I don't know whether to treat the whole space from scratch, or whether it's best to stick to the consistency running throughout the rest of the house. If the latter, then I'm stuck with Bleached Lichen 3 on the skirting (and doors), and I need to find a kitchen cabinet colour that will complement it.
