Got Kitchen Cabinets colours wrong, need help.....
Comments (51)Dear Azfar, I think your units are lovely, very sophisticated and much nicer than white. Your units and work tops are very similar to those I have in my kitchen, which also have black granite tops. I also have a wooden floor of a similar shade, please don't change this, it is lovely. I was aware when I had my kitchen fitted that the units appeared darker than in the showroom but this was due entirely to the colour of the walls they were installed on. To lift the units, and celebrate their beautiful colour, you should paint your walls a darker and contrasting colour, I have chosen a really shocking pink, Rock Candy, but there lots of options. The showroom I saw my units in used a burgundy colour, too dark for my Victorian kitchen. There are so many colour options which don't have to be expensive, play around with a few tester pots and see which you prefer. This is by far the cheapest option, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with your kitchen units again once your units are allowed to stand out. Incidentally your unit colour helps to visually integrate your stainless steel 'fridge, another reason to stick with it. If you want to add units in the future you could pick up on your new wall colour for a very stylish look....See Morewall colour decision - help!
Comments (6)Hi Sam, have you primed the plaster yet? I would honestly paint the whole room bright pure white and then look at it in different weather conditions and at different times of day. If it look cold, and feels unwelcoming I would avoid paint with a cool undertone. If it still feels dark then you need to decide on whether you go for dark and moody or for a paint that is reflective. If the room is naturally really light and airy then you can probably for for a cool undertone if you wish. What is the floor going to be?...See MoreArghh! Need help with colour decision.

Comments (6)Personally, I think anything other than white grout with that style of white tile, reminds me of old style public toilets or the London underground. I know grey grout is popular at the moment with the current frenzy for all things grey and I'm sure I've just insulted a whole raft of people with my comment, but for me, I'd go with just white. Aside from anything else it makes it look cleaner and also will disguise any slight misalignment of the tiles....See More
