A little help with choosing the right carpet and matching wall paints
Comments (5)Ok I think I have found some colors to choose from. I was thinking this color (http://www.farrow-ball.com/brinjal/colours/fcp-product/100222#) for wall 2 & 4 And this color (http://www.farrow-ball.com/charleston-gray///fcp-product/100243) for wall 1 & 3 I then thought that might be too dark so I then moved to these colors: For wall 2 & 4 (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:rfuhcJloRGIJ:www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/alexandriabeige+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk) And for wall 1 & 3 (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:kA8fz-8Evt4J:www.benjaminmoore.ca/en-ca/paint-color/snowonthemountain+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk) Firstly do you agree on which walls hold the colors or do you think I should have contacting walls hold the colors i.e. Walls 1 & 2 the darker color and walls 3 & 4 the lighter. The sun comes through the window most of the day with it being a south facing window and in the morning sunrises on wall 4 and sets on wall 2. Secondly do you think I am on the right tracks with these colors and a similar carpet to what yoboseiyo suggested. Thanks again for any help -Gs...See More1930's House facelift help please
Comments (29)Hey So the latest update is that we're still busy with the project but in the closing stages. We've done a lot of work inside more than originally planned we've gutted the house and replaced everything and changed the floor plan to modernise it and make more of an open plan space downstairs. We've done the rear extension which is now dedicated to kitchen with a central island running parallel with the doors . On the outside the house has had external insulation fitted and new render which makes it look new. I've attached some recent pics. Richard...See MoreHelp choose the right external colours!

Comments (17)Having looked through your idea book, I would say that 70 percent of the pictured have a similar style to them, broadly speaking. Warmer tones, some darker wood / walnut, many of them handleless. As a next step, I would go back to all the pictures and write down the elements that appeal to you, and be quite specific. If there is one picture that stands out to you as having the right overall balance you can use this as a template when planning your kitchen, even if for example it has shaker doors, but you might want handleless. You also need to consider how the kitchen will look against existing elements in the room, and things you might be planning for the living area. Then consider the practical elements, ie pros and cons of different doors, finishes, worksurfaces etc. Some of this will depend on your circumstances, do you cook a lot, want easy to clean etc? There's lots of articles on Houzz covering that kind of thing. Budget will also play a big part. For my part, I went with a handless German kitchen, with a matt finish with a quartz worktop. I cook a lot and have found this combination very easy to keep clean....See Moregaric
