Colour scheme for dark floor and light blue kitchen

3 years ago

Hi, I am in the process of buying a 30s house which is has a beautiful dark wood floor throughout the downstairs and a fairly new kitchen which is light blue and will not be replaced.

I am trying to work out a good colour scheme for the kitchen, breakfast room and lounge and need help! I've been reading about complementary, analogous, monochromatic etc but with so many options I am confused.

I have attached a photo of the kitchen and breakfast room which is from a video so not the best quality.

Any suggestions on a colour scheme or how to approach choosing one would be appreciated!

I am guessing I should use the same colour scheme in the kitchen and breakfast room because they are connected but maybe a completely different colour scheme in the lounge?

I like both of these colour combinations for the kitchen. However, I voted white and gold cause that is what I saw on the dress. I need to stop thinking about that dress now cause it hurts my head. :-)

Hi Rachel, Loving the colour palette, here are some possible suggestions for bedding and accessories, Sakkara Bump Duck Egg Double Set this bedding comes in a lovely duck egg to match your curtains and features lovely paisley embroidery. Regency New Jacquard Cream Kingsize Duvet Cover or like the other suggestions a cream would complement the duck egg beautifully. you can take a look at the rest of the bedding we offer here. For lighting, if you want to match the colour palette you could go for, 1 Light Industrial Parabolic Ceiling Pendant - White 1 Light Industrial Parabolic Ceiling Pendant - Duck Egg I hope this helped, and would love to see the end results when it's done.

Colour and flooring dilemma for grey and blue kitchen

I would suggest porcelein wood effect tiles too. They are tough and easy to clean and some are incredibly realistic. They come in every colour from white to deepest mahogany. I always think wooden look floors look so good wth grey or blue units. My stepdaughter has them with UFH and she is very pleased With them. Walls - i actually like white, but you could go pale grey and paint one or two end walls in a bolder colour? Wall tiles are a very personal thing, but how about small geometrics in white? Nice clean look but a bit more funky than metros. Here’s some pics. FEATURE WALL PORCELAIN WOOD AFFECT TILES CUTE HEXAGONAL WALL TILES

I'd make a feature of the alcove but instead of painting it a brighter colour I would us the darker instead. I would extend the headboard with to cushion panels in the same fabric to create the effect minnie101 suggested as this will give a grand but still cosy feel to the bed area. It will also make the ceilings feel higher as this is the tallest part of the room. Cushion pannels will double as a compfy head rest. I think the shelving in the alcove would work but I would paint these the dark colour as well so the items stand out as the feature and not the shelves themselves - this will add more storage and remove the need for bedside tables making the room more spacious. I would go for books, gold or copper ornaments and abstract painting on the top shelf. I would paint the bed wall in one of the lighter colours you've chosen (one of the blue/grey/teal colours immediately above headboard) and the opposite wall in the darker colour (the 2nd one down by the wardrobe) including the doors, door lining and skirting. This will make that wall feel further away when your in bed and will make the wardrobe (which I love be the way) blend in so it does not stick out into the space so much, again making it feel bigger. Move the artwork above the light to the right of the bed so it stands out on a light wall and accents the opposite wall. Move the plant to where the laundry basket is currently. Change the blinds to a full length curtain in a light (cream/white) colour as this will give the illusion of height to the gabled roof. DO NOT paint these walls in a dark colour it will instantly make the room feel small and celings low! It will also draw attention to the radiator which could be easily covered by the full length curtains. Painting radiators (and walls with radiators is time consuming and would improve the room overall - even a great paint job with paint designed for radiator will look rough in a few years and need re-doing). The second alcove nearest the window to the left of the bed would be a great place for built-in storage or vanity unit with a stool. I would accent the room with golds/copper, lighter bed sheets (but not white) and a dark sheepskin rug (you can get great ones for cheap online). Also use mirrors to bounce light arround, it will also give you a splash of light colour on the dark wall and vice versa. I think you have made a great start on this and I love the bed and wardrobe. If you need advice for picking decorative items for the room or another space please get in touch - I'd love to help.
