Comments (37)For some reason I had missed your update photos Angela. Your hall looks fantastic and the stained glass door is the icing on the cake! Bet it looks great form the inside as well... hint... :)...See MoreShould we put a dark blue kitchen unit in a low ceiling room?
Comments (5)Are you going for standard height worktops? If so, I think it will be fine as the units will be just over a 1/3 of the wall height (things on walls seem to work better when in 1/3s or 2/3rds rather than splitting a wall in half). I would either paint the walls and ceilings the same colour or just go a shade or 2 lighter on the ceiling than the walls so you're not creating contrast. I've found this kitchen which I'm guessing is a similar height https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/kitchen-tour-modern-rustic-style-in-a-country-cottage-kitchen-stsetivw-vs~87744878...See MoreWill dark grey cabinet doors date, or are they timeless?
Comments (16)Thank you for your views. It's reassuring to feel that both options would work. I'm still flipping between the two every 5 minutes, but will need to bite the bullet soon. Looking back at all my kitchen ideabook, I started off saving white kitchens with industrial/concrete features (grey), then moved to dark grey after visiting showrooms. The first section of the kitchen will be a fairly narrow galley with a bank of high units on one side then, after french doors, it will open up into an L-shape broken-plan section with lots of natural light. A 3D view of the galley section made me feel that matt dark grey might be a bit overwhelming. But it would also be dramatic, if paired with the right colours. Argh. I'll let you know what I decide. At the moment it's looking like white kitchen/grey walls&floor/lots of plants on the windowsills. Anyone ever feel like just throwing in the towel and bringing in an interior designer? The whole house is being remodelled, and the decision part of my brain wants a long holiday. I might have to toss a coin. p.s. I love the Critall windows. It's too late to have those in the kitchen, but we're hoping to have interior critall glazing elsewhere...See MoreWall colour to go with Pointing and Hague Blue kitchen units
Comments (8)Now I think you have a good point there. Choosing a deeper neutral sounds good. I’m a fan of colour and I have a Dulux minty green in my kitchen, F&B Cromarty in my sitting room, Dulux Egyptian Cotton in the bedroom and aqua in the other bedroom. All these shades are soft though so not garish, apart from a navy feature wall in kitchen. Dulux do some lovely neutral shades like Perfectly Taupe, Chic Shadow and Polished Pebble. Of course colours are affected by the light in the room and those sort of shades can look a bit grim in a dark north facing room. PERFECTLY TAUPE CHIC SHADOW POLISHED PEBBLE...See MoreToria J
last monthThe bed will go back against that wall once I've painted. (It's not the best fit, but I wake to a lovely view of the valley.)

This is from the video I mentioned. Zoffany Quarter Linen ceiling, Porcelain walls.
Maybe sticking with white would be better for the ceiling?
