Thanks again Deirdre ... oops ... I overlooked your question about the direction! The kitchen is south facing so it should be ok. I know what you mean about grey being a cleaner look and I do love it with white but was just thinking that it may all look too stark. Having said that I do have floor space for a good sized lime green rug that I own and if I had a window blind made in the same colour then perhaps that would work. I also have 3 lime green ceramic pots/vases which I love and they could sit on the windowsill too. That would then be enough colour accent to lift it I think. Oh decisions, decisions ... :) Will post again once I'm in and have done the deed. Thanks to everyone again for your time.

Do you plan to have a double bed in each room including your master? Having a 4 bedroom house, can give you the space to have a super king in your master bedroom which would balance the space out. Going with the 4 bedroom idea and having a larger master en-suite - it feels like there is a lot of empty unusable corridor space. I think this could be tweaked to make it a fabulous space... Just a brief look at your space, you have 3 wardrobes - could you make the middle one a door into the en-suite, allowing you to have a larger rectangle walk in shower opposite the bath. You could have also have drawers / dressing table on the wall as you come into the bedroom. Think about where the door to the master bedroom would be as it would ideally be balanced around the windows in the corridor. Presuming the windows are fixed. Could bedroom 2 have the door where the 5 bedroom layout is allowing more space for your bedroom door? The A/C cupboard - do you need it? Could you make it wider and smaller depth or a wardrobe for yourselves? It's a little difficult without measurements to work it all out... This is an example of the idea I suggested above. (We are towards the end of renovating our place and we changed it from 5 bed to a 4 but added an en-suite into each room. We don't miss the useless little box room!)

They are 2 of the worst colours to match. Both have undertones of different colours hence the colour compliment problem. Furthermore the undertone colour will present itself different at different times of the day as the light shows and changes. If you can’t find a worktop to go with it can you find a different colour fascia you like?

Thanks everyone! @minnie - yes we were away on and off for over a year. Sold our main house in December so just been in this small rental of my parent's since then. - we do have a vanity to go under the sink but not sorted it yet. The tiles sit onto the sink and follow the curve otherwise we would have replaced it. But also it's got some complex plumbing as the shower comes off it so we though we would leave it alone. Lol. Remember it's a cheap house in a cheap area so not a high spec place. It won't make much difference replacing the sink for us value wise.  - tiles - it used a special tile paint that you mix a solution into. Sanded first although you can do it direct. It took many many hours to cover the blue, LOL. I did do thin layers though so they are durable. Couldn't find a nice grey so ended up going white. Made the bath panels from wood and used a kitchen cupboard paint I had from the kitchen units we redid. (will update that thread soon!) Sprayed the white plastic shower rail, sanded the radiator and repainted it.  Most of the room was cleaning and paint and fillings and scraping. It's not perfect but with a new light in there and I've now added a white shower curtain, I love it.  So costs were mostly in the paint and DIY stuff Inc bath polish and repair kit, wood for the bath and the floor was £100 fitted plus new border tiles off ebay. Oh and I replaced the shower hose and fittings.!
