Combination dilema!

7 years ago

Dear Houzzers,

Here I am again looking for advice as our kitchen is almost complete and decisions are made, except for the island worktop.

Initially I wanted a Copacabana granite, which has wavy black and white lines. However, I just can't get it. My second option is, and has been Black fusion. Which I was sure will work well until we painted kithen walls F&B Cornforth White...

Just a note, that all other worktops will be Absolute Black. And only island in different granite, because I don't want it to look too busy. And I want a striking stone for the island because for me it's like a live picture that I can stare at for hours.

Would grey walls conflict with island worktop, or shouldn't I try to 'make them work'?

Many thanks!

Grey is a great base colour, I think your new palette looks lovely and that any one of these accent colours would look great not just on soft furnishings but perhaps look out for objects like a vase in that colour to put on the dining table? Have you thought about painting coffee table a bold grey colour? Have you tried rearranging the furniture? It's hard to tell if there is space but you could move the dining table and chairs to left of door as you come in and put sofa in the L-shaped space left by table, in the corner. It would mean the sofa does not block the light coming in the room through the door. If you do keep the table where it is, perhaps move the mirror along to behind the table. It would catch light and brighten that corner too. Good luck!

That looks soo much better. I see what celerygirl is saying............if anything the mirror is too big. I'd have it the same size as the fireplace and lower. It currently over shoots the height of the door opening. Really like the T.V area - excellent!

Hi Andre, what lovely pictures! Is this your new home or are these what you’re planning to work towards? The simplicity of a grey floor is very practical investment for any room in the home. Easy on the eye, and not a scene stealer, it makes a great base shade for rooms on floors, walls, curtains or fabrics and suits a range of decorating schemes. You can keep your greys warm, with amber and burnt sienna undertones, or cooler with blush tones and icy blues mixed in. If you’re wanting to enhance the country feel, we suggest you embrace the modern rustic appeal by drawing on the best elements of traditional country designs – such as light hues, distressed timbers, classic furniture and heritage fabrics – and offset them with a contemporary colour scheme and uncomplicated approach.
