This discussion neglects the beam angle of the bulb in the fixture. These can vary from about 15 degrees to around 50 degrees. Additionally, tilting a Gimbel fixture does not necessarily cut off light as the beam is a three-dimensional paraboloid for which the math is much more complex than this simplistic tangent formula. The guidelines here will put you in the ballpark however. Unfortunately many "lighting experts" don't really know lighting. RPI (Rennselaer Polytechnic) has a lighting division with good information on line for those interested. I attended their one-day course prior to designing our own lighting for a kitchen renovation. The course was very helpful.

Avoid brilliant white. Just plain 'white' is a good place to start, it doesn't have 'blue' whiteners added and so tints well, if you are so inclined. And it's cheap too. Why not try a colourwash over plain white? If you fancy doing that, use a silk white emulsion not matt as your base coat - you will find it an easier surface to wash onto as it isn't 'thirsty'.

can you really effectively paint over tiles?

If it was me - and considering the tiles are unnecessary (because I’m presuming there is no bath or shower in this room and there is just a wc and sink??) and you want to update it without ripping them all out ... I would look at panelling the bottom half of the walls under the sink and around the room in a wood - painted with a suitable washable paint in a colour that works with the pale pink. That will take off the impact of all the walls being tiled. Then by the time you have added in some shelving and mirrors (heck, you could even have a mirror fitted all the way around the room if you wanted to!) the tiles won’t be that bad. Super pale pink is very fashionable at the moment and at least it’s not 50’s pink which we had, ha ha. Either going navy as a contrast or a rich grey would work or keep it all light woodwork with white and add in metallic shelves and mirrors in gold to compliment the pink. Cladding would work in the thin marine plywood and it looks great painted. It’s not a huge room so shouldn’t cost that much and you can get all the panel sections pre-cut at a diy store if you don’t have the room/facilities to chop them down yourself. There is T&G panels although they are more work and can be a bit dated with your tiles perhaps. re painting tiles.... the paints have come a long way these days to be fair and as they won’t necessarily get wet (add some feature tiles around your sink) then they shouldn’t wear out easily. The trick is to apply it correctly and don’t cut corners. Watch loads of videos on how to do it. I don’t think painting them will make a massive difference unless you were going to go with a dark paint though so seems little point.

https://youtu.be/NclvKMkd6Ac Hi thanks @Juliet Docherty. Here is the youtube link of the space at the moment. Here is what else will be filling the space 1. Units along the length of the wall by the window in brown acacia at the bottom and soft gloss white on top. (as per pic) Also units along the back wall ( fridge and storage in soft gloss white ) 2. 3 m island in gloss soft white 3. island lights above the island https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-partners-baldwin-large-pendant-ceiling-light/p5291565 - like the copper and the industrial look 4. Worktop for units in carera white with black vien Carrara Misterio - Shaw Stone Ltd. 5. Splash back along the kitchen back wall by the hood - either in carera white or the optidek am 007 in copper /toffee with black ( sample of the pic is attached ) 5. 4 x side lights ( to be decided ) 6. In the snug area a rich coloured sofa and a rug ( to be selected ) 7. Cove lighting along the apex 8. Near the chimney breast a long dining table ( to be selected ) 9. Cabinets along with the chimney breast ( to be selected ) I agree - we need a colour which will be deep and will contrast with the grey concrete acupanel media unit - love the idea of the copper /toffee - will it be a sufficient contrast against the adjacent skimming stone walls ? Would you wallpaper/or can you suggest a colour? What about the Hague Blue - that is quite a deep colour? and I could offset that will some copper /toffee decorations on the back wall ? Also I would like a pop of colour near the dining area . My immediate task is to choose a colour for the backwall as the decorator is in within a couple week and the media unit will be installed the week after . Do i just play it safe and do the back wall skimming stone - and change the back wall colour later - or is there a colour that is an obvious choice ?
