Colours to go with Anthracite and Limestone Savoy
The images below are a work in progress, and progress has been brilliant with a four day rip out and fit with just one remedial, which, for a painted kitchen is fantastic. Surfaces will be on next week. I have ideas on colour for the limited amount of walls but would appreciate the community’s opinion. The kitchen cabinets are Savoy Anthracite and Limestone on a matching anthracite cabinet. The photo was taken on a wet day in Yorkshire, so fairly typical.

Lighting for Pool / Games Room
Comments (14)Hi Claire ! Adding some thoughts .... If the carpet is going - try to replace it with something equally sound deadening - as otherwise his late night games with the lads will keep everyone below up - with all that pacing and pondering before a shot ! Re decision to go for industrial or gentleman's club - (luckily the lamp will suit either) - which of the two fits in better with the other rooms that lead to or will be enjoyed by guests prior to entering this one.... and which style might you expect from the exterior of the house ? Do you want cohesion with the rest of the home - or is the the wild card room ? If the table is to be the main feature of the room - then don't go too dark on your lower paint colour or it wall blend in too well. But if this IS the effect - then perhaps try ALL graphite - ceilings too ( try a paint a photo app and see if this works for you ) Then add brighter bar seating and warm lighting in that area to make that the prominent piece . Add a separately switched strong white light to aim at the dart board - and I you do go for panelling here too- I'd suggest you mount the dartboard on a layer of either cork or dark rubber matting. I'd suggest, to keep the feel of a billiards room, only light the bar area, and have low lamps in each corner of the room, that can be switched off individually if they interfere with a shot. Nb. As the ceiling is so low - I'd suggest the bar be in the front of the window - so the players can stand upright in that bit much easier. Hope that helps a bit !...See Morekitchen paint colour...advice needed
Comments (5)The first thing that occurs to me is why not paint the cooker wall Proud Peacock so that the splashback, cooker, extractor and wall cupboards all blend in? This will also provide you with something to work off when selecting the neural? If you paint that wall a pale tone it will look quite busy....See MoreWhich white for contemporary exterior?
Comments (16)Thanks again @rinq, great information and I suspect you have more light in Holland than we do here in Northern Ireland. Hello again @Jonathan and thanks for the tips on the texture. You are right, I just need to make a decision regarding the colour! Yes getting very excited. Absolutely delighted with how the build has progressed. The end is almost in sight, hopefully moving in early April. Great time to be moving in. Thanks @colourhappy (your name is what I'm trying to be!!). Funny you should ask about the paving because that another area I cannot make a decision on. We are laying Tobermore Mayfair graphite paving out the back but they don't go very well against the Liscannor stonework on the front so we need to find something that does - any suggestions would be very welcome....See MoreNot sure if i should front paint door frame same of a lighter colour?
Comments (9)I would prefer to see a colour too, rather than anthracite - which can turn into a bit of a black hole for a front door. I like a front door to be more interesting than just matching the window frames. Agree that doing the whole thing would be best to maximise the size of the door - especially since it's not huge and it's not centred on the front of the house - so you want it to be really obvious where the door is and draw people to it....See More

4 years agoDo you prefer calm pastels or a bolder hue? Green is a great colour which would tone well with your kitchen, from the palest grey-green, olive green or a darker racing green. If you are not a fan of green then navy blue is a bold but very popular choice at the mo. Here’s some ideas
