Thanks Jonathan. I’m not totally adverse to the yellow and perhaps your right less yellowish window might help crisp up. I like the warmth statement and blending with greenery that current colour has but it needs painting badly and so having moved in last year feel need to make a change and loose yellow. I suppose as it is tired and everything in the house is either yellow or green (avocado) and tired!!! I’ll look at greys with off white windows as you suggest......

My kitchen is painted a duck egg blue too. I have cream units, oak worktops and a white ceramic sink. I agree with colourhappy to get the kitchen fitted, fit the worktop and sink then look at painting the walls, although your wall colour is soft and will probably go well. I’d go for a white worktop, with veining if you want some pattern, then go for a white sink. Black just wouldn’t go with the soft colours and they never look clean, especially if you have hard water. Although I love my duck egg walls I’m going to paint them F&B Oval Room Blue, which is a darker version. Just fancy a change! This is a corner of my kitchen.

Siobhanmcgee90 I couldn't agree more. Half curtains belong in caravans or campervans. I was not suggesting leaving it bright white, that was a base coat to remove the current paint choice so you could a get a better idea of the space. I would live with it for a while before rushing into a colour which may not be right with your new flooring. You wouldn't want to have to repaint it more than once. Don't choose a colour before you have decided what your other accents such as side tables, lamps maybe a coffee table and bookcase or shelves are going to be. I would wait to see how the sofa looks in the room first. You are rushing into a choice under pressure and might well regret it later.

Hi Wendy! To complement your turquoise sofa and create a vibrant yet cohesive look, consider adding a neutral or warm-toned sofa and chair, such as a soft grey, beige, or mustard, to provide contrast while keeping the space balanced. Mixing different textures or patterns, like a textured or patterned chair, will add depth and personality. You could also opt for contrasting shades like a rich navy, charcoal, or even a warm terracotta for an unexpected pop of colour. This approach will allow your turquoise sofa to remain the focal point while creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
