Hi all we are almost at the end of a 20 week renovation and decision fatigue has set in and I need some trained eyes to help. I need to pick paint colours ASAP for hall/stairs/landing and open kitchen diner. Hall: is curved bright and open. There a runner effect of these tiles surrounded by a mid grey tile. Can't decide between a pale grey or a pale blue. These are a mix of Pantone, Colourtrend and Little Greene colours. Any thoughts? It's south facing and lots of sunlight hit this hallway. Question is: With these tiles a pale blue or grey paint? Kitchen diner:this is my main dilemma. Units are half installed. Back run is a painted oak colour v similar to elephants breath with an island close to downpipe. There's lots of widows and skylights but it's north facing so need something warm. These are the ones I planned using but the colour of units seems to disappear into them. Question being:what colour paint compliments these units and makes them stand out?official name of colour is cashmere. Thanks so much!

Hi. There aren't any colours for the kitchen? I might look at farrow and ball dimity or pointing. Re the hall although the silver works with the colours in the tiles I don't find it works as well with the background colour. I quite like the blue idea to bring out the blue/grey and yellow in the tiles but it would be good to see the whole floor so as to see the plain tiles. Other colours that may work (inaccurate way of holding colour chart against screen!!) are LG pale Wedgwood or bone china blue pale or f&b dimpse

I think a light grey would enhance your table and chairs. You can add accents of brighter colours in small touches (kitchen herbs, fruit bowl,...) and some art on the table wall? The kitchen looks quite dark, you could consider letting more light in by leaving the blinds up and maybe change the ceiling lighting to halogen spots?

Sounds like traces of paste left on the wall. Were walls bare plaster? If so, they should be primed or use a bare plaster paint before the top coat. I'd sand down the wall, wash with sugar soap then clean water. When dry apply a primer and you should be ok.
