What colour cabinets go with wooden worktops?md
Q
Comments (5)
I would say that almost any colour can go with wood but not all shades of any colour. It tends to work best with more complex / less intense colours. So sage green or grey/blue would go well, but lime green or bright blue wouldn't go so well. Sage or grey/blue are usually available in off-the-shelf Shaker style doors, which you have there. They also go well with other subdued colours, so you could have either of those mixed with cream or pale grey. I wouldn't mix blue and green as you seem to have in your picture above, though, but that might just be my tastes. Also, I was extremely underwhelmed by the quality of oak worktops. They use a fast growing species (there are several species of oak) which has very little character and often a rather nasty orange tint. I chose a birch worktop from B&Q instead, which is much cheaper and has an amazing 'tigers eye' effect once oiled - absolutely no regrets there, my worksurface looks way better than my brother's more expensive oak one. Lastly, I did a lot of research and chose Fiddes Hard Wax Oil to finish the worksurface. Do not skimp on the finish, I've known people who have and they've univerally regretted it. I am extremely pleased with the Fiddes, water can sit on there as long as it wants and never sinks in. I know 2 people who chose different worktop oil brands and they have to wipe water off within 5 minutes or it leaves a mark.

There's a spider in the room.... what do you do?

September and in they all come trying to freeload on my central heating. It's my house, I didn't invite them, so I'm afraid they must die! I used to feel a bit bad about it, but then I thought about how they catch their prey, leave them to slowly die and then eat them and felt completely exonerated of all guilt! They're utterly revolting.

Optimal layout?
Q
Comments (26)
I have thought about it this way too, but everything about the angles in the back corner of the room make the sofa being there quite difficult. As absolutely amazing and accurate (how did you do that!?) your layout is, I'd be losing an awful lot of space behind the sofa, also there's a storage cupboard under the stairs it would consequently block access to. I have to agree with you, my furniture is pretty amazing. Taken a long time to thrift/collect and it's pretty much all Scandinavian mid century. I digress, the layout is optimal now for the amount of furniture I have but I was mainly taking a photo to record the room before I get shot of some bits to make the room a little less populated. I have a matching white accent chair arriving soon, which will replace to the two green chairs. And I'll be cutting down to 4 chairs and a rectangular table to go up against the wall. I think that will look less.... Full. :P Thank you Jonathan.

Yeesh that is grey and bland. Do you have a colour in mind? The good thing about grey is it works well with most bright colours so if you have a favourite you could use it. Since you're thinking about plants, though, maybe green would work well. I would- - Buy a new shower curtain in a fresh green colour. One with leaves on, or bamboo, or a forest scene. Whatever has a nice colour. - Buy at least one towel to match that colour, maybe a set. Or multi colour towels which go well with the new shower curtain. - Consider buying one or more laminated posters for the back of the door and any spare bits of wall that could use it, or a small one for the back of the baby changing unit. Plants, I would definitely add a couple but not too many. That room is low light levels for plants but there's plenty to suit, it depends what's available near you. I would include a white moth orchid (Phalanopsis) as they flower for absolutely months with very little care though it's unlikely you'd get them to reflower. Calathea are great for low light levels and have lovely leaves. Spider plants are practically unkillable and there are new varieties which have shorter broader leaves and look much better than the old varieties.
