Hello there, I was a rep for Benjamin Moore paints and have worked with a lot of paint colours - they have 3500 in the full collection! For a small room you need a colour with warmth in it a hint of yellow to reflect the light but it will predominantly depend on the colour and amount of light coming in to your room. I would be happy to order some large samples of colour sheets that are sprayed in the actual colour so you can check the tone works in your room free of charge. I would think a colour called Balboa Mist or around this tone would work, this is what the Americans call a 'Greige' a warm grey. Please drop me a email simren@jagdev.com. Thank you!

How about a deep aubergine, or even darker like the new Paean Black which has purpley undertones? I also think terracotta or coral or chocolate brown would work, especially if you have warm/wood accents. Or any kind of pink.

It depends on what else you have in the room, the sofa colours etc. It looks to be a really nice room with some lovely features. Personally, I wouldn't paint it all a blue or a dark colour as East facing rooms can be gloomy on an afternoon. Have a look on instagram, there is a total shift away from dark interiors towards more neutral warmer ones. Not that this matters, but perhaps a year of lockdown has made a difference to what people want to live with.

Hi @brynna_vetch How exciting taking the plunge and choosing colours! I really like the green, it looks like a really nice medium warm green which is perfect for your space. There's two ways I would be inclined to go with this - either commit to the green and have them all in harmony with each other. It would certainly keep the kitchen looking consistent and add some more colour to the room - you're so lucky to have such a bright space. Or you could keep a contrast but in a subtle way - maybe look at having an off white colour to match the walls (possibly a really really light dove grey) for the rest of the units that are already undercoated. I would always tend to say make the island the darkest colour so it feels freestanding and becomes the feature of the room. If you want my personal opinion, I would say go for the green all round. It's a lovely colour and I don't think in years to come you will be bored of it. Good luck and please update us with what you decide/photos :) Charlie @ The Kitchen Lady UK www.thekitchenladyuk.co.uk
