Hello try Inox or French Grey 162 from Little Greene. I would also like a slightly stronger grey like Urbane Grey to add more contrast. It's to hard to get the whole picture of your kitchen without knowing what you have planned for the bench top and floor.

Tell us: Do you have any home renovation regrets?
Q
Comments (32)
Whilst I recognise there's a few tradespeople on here bemoaning fussy clients I have to say my biggest regrets when renovating my house was not being specific enough with trades! We had an electrician put in an extra light switch in the hall to control both the downstairs and upstairs lighting. He put it in a good 10-15cm lower than the other switch further along the same wall which looked completely ridiculous. Made him move it in line with the other one much to his annoyance. Another similar incident was with a vertical column rad for the kitchen - whilst I was specific enough this time to ask it be centered to the wall it was on, he installed it much higher than needed with about 30cm of pipe sticking out the bottom! It would have looked much better in line with the doorframe adjacent. Had to learn to live with that one. We had engineered wood floors put in upstairs - the fitter used the shortest wall in the smallest room to take a plumbline from. When it came into the hall it was obviously on a complete wonk. By this point I'd gotten a bit better at speaking up and ensuring we actually got what was needed (and paid for!). He had to take it up and re-lay using the hall as the plumbline. Looked so much better but he was extremely annoyed! After all this I learned to use masking tape to direct exactly where pipes/light switches/trim should be fitted so there was no room for 'interpretation'. I also forced myself to speak up more and advocate for what I really wanted. That said I'm a designer by trade so I generally know what I want and how to make it look good but was definitely a bit too shy to contradict trades in the beginning!

When to use engineered wood flooring in your home
Q

Engineered wood flooring is a modern style of flooring many of our customers have expressed an interest in – and for good reason. It has the look and feel of a solid wood floor thanks to the top layer veneer which is glued to a plywood core, it and the added benefits of being more robust and more resistant to moisture and heat. It’s also a more economical solution to solid wood flooring if your budget just won’t stretch. These features make it a very popular choice, so if you’re thinking of updating your flooring soon, why not use engineered wood flooring in your home? Here are some great examples of when it’s the ideal flooring choice. Bigger floor space If you have a large room or you want to have consistent flooring throughout the entire ground floor of your home, it can be costly. You still want it to look incredible however, so an engineered floor is a smart alternative to solid wood which lets you achieve the look you want, without the hefty price tag. The wood looks and feels truly authentic which adds a lot of elegance and sophistication to your living space, and the longer you have it installed, the more the wood will take on a naturally aged look. Many engineered floors are also an easy click installation system, making them simple to install and cutting down on the amount of time and labour required – meaning more savings for you. High traffic areas Engineered wood is available in different thicknesses up to 20mm, and this means that over your floor’s lifetime it can be sanded down and refinished up to three times – making it an ideal long-term investment in your home in high traffic areas like your hallway or kitchen. Over time as your floor starts to look scuffed or acquires deep scratches, you can refinish it to have it look like new, without having to completely replace it. Underfloor heating Many modern homes now benefit from underfloor heating, but not all wooden flooring is compatible with this. Solid wood for example isn’t ideal, due to the natural expansion and contraction of the wood, but engineered flooring has greater stability to moisture and heat, so it’s perfect for this. Before you buy a new floor to be used with underfloor heating, always check the product specification or check with your installer, otherwise you could end up with flooring which is warped, bowed or cracked as a result of the heat. So, now you know when to use engineered flooring in your home it’s time to appreciate the additional benefits of it – the range of colours and styles, the variety of board lengths and thicknesses, the finishes ranging from brushed, oiled or hand scraped, and of course the great offers available, making it a very affordable option for your home. Think engineered flooring might be the right choice for you?

Ok to not match wooden furniture to dark oak flooring throughout?
Q

Personally I think it would annoy me a little, I'd match the chair legs to the table wood I think, or choose metal legs instead (for the chairs). https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-harper-velvet-chair/sand/p3320730 https://www.maisonsdumonde.com/UK/en/p/pink-vintage-chair-with-solid-birch-mauricette-146306.htm
