If you want to paint, paint. I think I'd agree with the people who suggest professional re spraying though unless you love diy and love the idea of being able to change the colour yourself relatively quickly. I recently painted a dresser (heavily stained and varnished wood, nowhere near as nice as yours) and a chest of drawers (bog standard orange pine) and unless you can take the wood right back it takes coats and COATS and a lot of patience to get a good finish. It is worth it though! Personally, I'd go for a greyish blue on the bottom half, White worktops, and paint the uppers the same white as the tiles (there's nothing intrinsically wrong with them, a classic choice that won't date). Put in a steel splashback behind the cooker (it should be possible to fit over tiles) to tone with your handles and a hard wearing natural fibre rug on the floor to break up the dark grey. A few wood accessories and the usual bits and pieces to finish.

New to kitchen cabinetry offering is concrete effect doors. Not only are they incredibly durable but are also stain and fingerprint resistant and their matt finish makes them very contemporary. Textured timbers also remain popular and again are strong and are often best combined with a laminate cabinet.

Hi Neha, thanks a lot! With regards to the floor you are right I will need to wait for the extension, because I wanted to put the ceramic floor that looks like wood, but then we would definitely need the underfloor heating in the kitchen. But if the underfloor heating makes everything too expensive and too long then we would put wooden floor and in that case we might match the whole thing on the whole ground floor. I definitely want the hallway and kitchen to match as you can see the kitchen from the entrance, whether as the sitting room is on the right after a few steps in, and I could always put a brass threshold to split the colours. I guess I will have to suck it up and live with the floor and table not matching for a while (the table is coming in 6 weeks and is the only finish I could agree without me and my husband biting each other's heads off! haha). Thanks a lot and I will post a pic once the bookcase is up next week! E
