Hi Caro, I have attached two images of wall paper that I think you compliment your kitchen. The green and blues in these wallpapers would harmonise with the existing titles and highlight the height of the room. From your ideas book it seems you like repeat patterns, both of these styles suggest a 60s feel whilst remaining contemporary. As you can see in the second photograph, the pattern and colours sit very well with the dark shiny worktop, similar to the one you mention putting in at a later date. The first wallpaper is affordable and ethically sourced. Let me know what you think

Hello Caro, That is a spectacular kitchen and the second I have seen on Houzz that's similar.. The other was yellow but the owners ripped it out! I am very glad you're keeping yours.. The fridge is wonderful too... What would really make this stand out is if you could find a home for the pans... So the kitchen remains sleek... Could I suggest a warmer lighter granite for the worktop or perhaps a worktop that would compliment the look like Formica! ... I think black would be too harsh here.. Something with blue in would be good too so it compliments the tiles... OR keep what you have as it looks blue.... You could have blue as a theme for the flooring too... Are you changing the flooring?.. If so Sinclair Till is an excellent choice for linoleum.. http://www.sinclairtill.co.uk/range/3/3360 http://www.sinclairtill.co.uk/range/3/3828 For walls Cole and Son do some fantastic papers Geometric Grand restyled... They are a larger and bolder version of their former smaller collection in this range... For Bold... For Subtle.. For pendant lighting... For dining... something like this table and chairs would be ideal.. Also the fridge is lovely too.... For cocktails... An ice bucket and a few glasses! I think this is one such occasion where I can say.. "Don't just go to first base... Go all the way!" : ))

So you know I bought a single 'click deco' brand dolly light switch a while back and found it to be pretty poor quality so it was returned. Ended up with these: http://www.forbesandlomax.com/the-unlacquered-brass-range.html Really good quality and they have lovely finishes too. I quite like their antique bronze range too as it contrasts nicely with chrome/nickel finishes without clashing. If you'd really like everything to match then take a look at the Jim Lawrence range. They're not the cheapest but offer both light switches and door furniture in a large selection of finishes. They also do the narrow style of light switches which I think looks really elegant in older houses. https://www.jim-lawrence.co.uk/door-window/door-handles-door-knobs/bromley-handle-with-bristol-keyhole-backplate-in-510201bw?returnurl=%2fdoor-window%2fdoor-handles-door-knobs%2f%3fcount%3d36 https://www.jim-lawrence.co.uk/1-gang-dolly-architrave-switch-in-chrome-with-3279chniz https://www.jim-lawrence.co.uk/2-gang-black-dolly-switch-bevelled-plate/

Thanks guys, these are my latest attempts! Tani the 2 tall non-oven units are a tandem larder and a FF. so yes rinq they will need to open right to left so have changed it. The 2 lower cupboards in the tall oven units also need to open right to left as we will be keeping big kitchen stuff like the magimix in here and I don’t fancy carting it out of the cupboard and then having to manoeuvre my way around a door to get it onto the work surface in the corner! Now stuck what to do with the door for the corner base unit, just realised the door will have to open left to right so the handle/knob for that door will be right next to the handle/knob of the cupboard under the oven. I did quite like putting all knobs on the front side of the island rinq but I thought it looked a bit *too* knobby so I think vertical handles for the doors? Could also put these handles horizontally and centrally
