Hi, Using colour: I would stay neutral for the walls above the units; a great colour example of this is 'Strong White' by Farrow and Ball and then for the wall on the left of the photo I would have this as a feature all and go for a darker tone such as 'Green Blue' by Farrow and Ball. Using lighting: spotlights are great as they can provide an even spread of light in your kitchen, especially if you are limited in natural light. Due to having a dark coloured back splash, having under cabinet spotlights on a separate electrical circuit would provide additional lighting on the worktop area in the evening and night hours. The installation looks great so far ! I'm an interior designer so if you need any help or tips feel free to have a look at my website www.rebeccafullertoninteriors.com or get in touch via email info@rebeccafullertoninteriors.com

Hi there! I've seen the picture (attached below) and i really hope to find similar paint colours to the pink/seagreen in the top right photo as accent colours in my lounge. Must be either the Dulux or Valspar range . I also could really use a hand choosing the white that will be on the rest of the walls and ceilings. My lounge is a north facing (with an outlook to the north sea), its a long rectangle room with glass patio doors and two windows to the front. So, I don't get really any direct sunshine in the room althou its not dark, but has a cooler light. The Pinkish colour will be at the back of the room on a feature wall and the seagreen on a drop down celling above the patio door. The rest, skirts, walls and ceilings I'd like to paint a nice, pure looking white. Really appreciate any advice or pointers Thanks!

If you look at this image and see how the timber slats look fabulous with the grey, both in terms of colour, design and texture I would consider something like this, on the wall, not the ceiling obviously. https://www.thewoodveneerhub.co.uk/products/acupanel-contemporary-walnut-acoustic-wood-wall-panels?variant=35993316819100&gclid=CjwKCAiAo5qABhBdEiwAOtGmbjPJ2IJzgNUxNyvV8HliP0YnA3aQ_VVHNqVl4C-s3GNfwYb9xpgxpBoC_lMQAvD_BwE

You definitely haven't got the whole lot wrong. I think it looks a very smart room. I like the shape and colour of your sofas and think they look great with the curtain/cushion fabric. Likewise I think the rug is a really good colour. I wouldn't change colour but if I you really pushed me I'd say get a bigger size (poss more about me than you! I've always kicked myself for not going larger with rug in my living room). Again if I was splitting hairs I'd say the colour of the units (TV, side tables etc) is not quite right. It's a bit too warm beigey for the other colours in there. So I'd maybe consider painting those either darker, cool undertone colour or maybe even the cream/white shade you've got on radiator wall/alcoves.
