Hello, thank-you so much for your query. The paint is a shellac finish and it is bespoke to the furniture maker so we didn't use a branded paint shade for reference. Kind Regards Sam

how do I make my kitchen cabinets look grey instead of blue?

Hi Patricia, I come across this problem a lot, I match the colour samples in the studio and they work perfectly. When we take them to site the lighting in the room totally changes the look of the colour pallets we chose. Lesson one for us, "always" put the colour samples in the room before agreeing them with the client. Lighting is the single most important factor with pastel colours. If its a north facing room colours will always look dull. Due to the position of the window the units under the window will always be in shadow which neutralises the blue tones and brings out the grey. Two ways of approaching this. 1 Re paint with a stronger blue to offset the neutralising effects of the lighting. 2 Change the lighting. Put an extension into the room and get a few different lights, LED warm white, Soft white, brilliant while etc. Look at the effects in the day and in the evening. When you find the light source that brings out the blue tones use that on all the lights in the room... With regards to colour on the walls, at the risk of being boring I always go white. When you put white up against a pastel colour the pastel shades really pop out. When you put another colour in it alters / distracts from the pastel. Hope that helps, Martin: www.angel-martin.com

Kitchen cabinets- painted smooth or visible grain?

Aggy I have both in my home, sprayed in the utility room and hand painted in the kitchen. The sprayed has a very slight 'plastic' look to it on close inspection. It is however very hard wearing. The hand painted finish in the kitchen looks more sophisticated but doesn't take the knocks quite so easily. Also hand painted is more £££'s!

Advice on kitchen cabinet colours

The greys I had chosen ( before trying a sample) was farrow and ball cornforth white for the kitchen and fb purbeck stone for the open dining room cupboards. I've had over £35 of samples and have now decided on farrow and ball All White for the kitchen and Matt Dakkar ( it's a grey pale olive) for the floor to ceiling dining room cupboards which will have oak running through them . I'll try to put the kitchen design photos on . Minnie 101, the floor is being laid next week , it's semi honed forest limestone . The kitchen is west facing with a small window , the grey looked too drab . The dining room is south facing and gets the sun, there are steps down into the kitchen and the sun doesn't really reach it . I was thinking of having a mirror splash back under the hob hood as this will face the small window and reflect some light back ? ive seen some lovely white cottage/country kitchens on here and hope to pinch some ideas. I only have till the end of next week to decide. I've really had far too long to make a choice as I've changed my mind so many times and have gone back to my original choice! I will put photos on of the floor in progress next week .

What to do with cabinet? Paint colour/ centre panel?

Fabulous ideas everyone, keep them coming:-) Carolina, my first thought was also a mirror, maybe an antique style one. Definitely something to think about. Minnie101, I love your inspiration as always, love the blue cameo box image, will definitely test out some decoupage on the little bedside cabinet. To all, must say I’m not much for chalk paint, never liked the feel of it although you can get some good effects plus you can always varnish/wax over it. Just feel for this piece I neeeed colour! Our hallway can get rather gloomy at the best of times (north facing with only the door for daylight). I do love natural wood but the cabinet, although nicely shaped is just cheap pine and not the best quality. I didn’t pay much for it so feel justified in painting it. Emily, i’ll probably get the Land Rover enamel paint just because I want to see how it compares to standard gloss, watch this space! Here’s my inspo pic for hallway although ours hasn’t got the side bit round the stairs, it’s slightly wider and we need storage for bike and shoes etc.
