My initial reaction to the photos was that the kitchen units' colour somehow didn't quite 'gel' in the room and I was rather hoping colourhappy would come in and be able to cast her professional eye over it. I still really like the granite and I agree that at least changing the lower units will work. Perhaps the upper units need changing too? J Pleass, would you consider doing that?

Lovely as the greens are, they are not really warm. It also depends what light comes into the room and what aspect it faces. Pink does go nicely with grey, especially the soft dirty pinks like F&B Calamine or maybe Dulux Blush Pink? Otherwise a warm white may go well.

Hi Ellie, we’re lacking furniture right now!! The plan is to have a new bigger sofa, a tv and the boys PS4 down here but we have a separate living room at the front too. The living area bit is a bit dark though as no windows but two bifolds in kitchen diner so it is sunny!

The grain of your wood units is gorgeous. I would have to agree with other posters and advise against painting them. I also agree that the red tiled splashback and extractor could definitely do with updating/changing. I would go further and remove the two overhead cupboards on the splashback. They look unnecessary and make that area look cluttered. Obviously that would mean altering the cornice above them too. Overall your kitchen looks stunning.
