Ooo that looks a great possibility. There are two undertones to this colour green and grey. I'd say green complimenting the cupboards and grey the work tops. Lots of colour testing to do on paper once I have the flooring sample and it laid. Yes I definitely need dark accessories. I was going with copper as I am going to have two pendant lights over the breakfast bar. Do you all think copper as the accessory colour would work? I am having an oak kitchen door and dining table with an oak bench. Seating area I was thinking paint a light colour but reupholster with a dark blue shade (now decided from your advice) and then tile the inside of the log fire background in a patterned dark blue tile? Thank you

Hi Jenny, I would definitely be tempted to inject some colour into that space. If you keep with the grey scheme I would recommend something a bit more dramatic like Moles breath or Worsted on that wall where the window is. I would put a wall hung mirror similar to what I did in a recent project of mine where they similarly had a sink in front of a mirror. And on the wall above the loo I would put either some open shelving with some beautifully fluffy towels and a few plants or a nice print. Good luck!

So, decided against the original Navy blue, and then decided against the greens.......... looking at the original pic, it probably looks like I have not actually painted the walls!!! We had Dulux Chic Shadow for the last 5 years, it had been painted over about 4 layers of wallpaper. All that wallpaper has now been removed and all the holes filled in so walls were ready to get painted but I just couldn't decide. Since our Christmas tree would be arriving in a matter of days, I dug out a 10 litre tub of Johnstones Manhattan grey that was in the garage and just got father in law to do that, it means we are not looking at bare walls over Christmas! And we can paint over after if we decide to! Although its called grey it appears blue sometimes and then sometimes even a bit of green - as well as looking grey sometimes - maybe its just my eyesight!! After all that!

I think the most important thing is to get some tiles to work with the units. The more similar they are then they need to be 'right' if that makes sense. I would paint some paint onto s bit of board and take it to the tile shops to match them in situ. If you want something different then there are lots of options, it depends on what sort of thing you like. It might be worth buying a current fan deck from F&B to match the unit colour accurately.
