Mylands. You always regret your economies. I've repainted this kitchen 4X over the years, and last time was in Dulux which wore so poorly. Just custom mixed a new vibrant duck egg to paint my kitchen in marble matt walls, eggshell woodwork, and floor paint. Mylands matched impeccably. It was a dream of coverage, and looks spectacular. The quality of the pigment shows, looks the money, nothing like synthetic mediocre pigments in cheaper paint. It's a big improvement.

Do you remember if it was a UK kitchen, French, German etc.? That would help!

We have a boiling tap - wouldn’t be without it. We were able to afford it when I found that Franke, better known for kitchen sinks, also do boiling taps. Small point but worth making - be careful when installing your boiling tap of choice to ensure easy access to the isolating mechanism on the water pipe(s) so you can turn off the water when you need to replace the filter cartridge. We had to have ours moved when the kind person who helped me change the filter each time was no longer able to do so and it was down to me, who couldn’t reach the lever which had been sited behind the waste disposal machine under the sink.
