Pale doors/windows will probably bring more warmth to the room, whereas dark will be more of a contrast. It entirely depends what kind of look you're after but for a statement, I'd go for dark!

What a lovely kitchen. What style of table and chairs are going in the dining end? I would totally agree with the white wood blinds suggestion - but would pair it with long curtains in the dining end if it is going to have a formal or cottage feel at that end. and possibly have a set of long curtains for the french doors too in case you need to shade off the sun in summer try prestigious textiles Helmsley collection for fabrics that might suit your reg,grey,white scheme http://www.prestigious.co.uk/en/collections/helmsley Best wishes, hope the project goes well.

Hi Gary, The kitchen cabinet doors, and also the blue wall panels in the [dining room[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/5-kitchen-and-dining-room-contemporary-kitchen-london-phvw-vp~73895645), are a 'through coloured' mdf. These were manufactured by Valchromat.

Great work, especially love the kitchen lantern to promote day light! And we're always impressed to see living spaces that don't have ceilings peppered with spot lights - well done!
