Help with kitchen tiles with awkward colour scheme
I ended up with a different worktop to what I wanted for my kitchen refit. It can't be corrected now so I'm going to have to work with a concrete effect worktop against cashmere units. The kitchen has a lot of blue tone light and one of the more darker rooms in the house. I've spent weeks trying to find tiles that could work with this awkward colour scheme. Would love to hear any ideas on what tiles to use and wall colour? My latest idea was maybe find a tile the same colour as the units and then go with a bolder colour for blinds and/or walls?
TIA!

Help with color scheme for kitchen.
Comments (2)With grey shaker cabinets and white metro tiles the world is your oyster! You could keep it all very neutral or add a splash of colour or pattern to the floor. Browse the photos on Houzz to find some kitchens you like and you'll soon see what styles you are drawn to. I'd recommend a light colour for the worktop as dark ones tend to show up every tiny crumb so you'll be constantly wiping it down. In terms of lighting, it's so important to make sure the lighting works well for you. Make sure you have plenty of light in front of you on the work surfaces. Go for quirky wall lights or a row of little pendants, or if you have wall cabinets then opt for under cabinet lighting. Then you can choose a statement pendant in the middle to give general light to the room and acts more as a feature than practical lighting. Get in touch if you'd like more advice on tiles, colours or lighting plans. Good luck!...See MoreHelp! Colour Scheme for Industrial Style Kitchen
Comments (9)Hello You are at the planning stages of your design, how exciting. Industrial is such a great look, when we design this type of scheme for our clients we like to mix industrial elements with period style. So crittal windows with Victorian style floor tiles. Or industrial light fittings mixed with squishy unpholstery pieces such as sofas and armchairs. This will help soften the overall aesthetic, which as you suggest can be hard if not balanced with softer elements. Take a look at some of our interiors projects for inspiration. Mixing period detailing and styles from different eras such as mid century, Scandinavean and 70's with classic industrial elements such as exposed bricks, metal detailing will give you a more interesting and original take on this style. Good luck with you project, Clare...See MoreHelp...what colour scheme for my new kitchen?
Comments (7)Hi Lucy. The kitchen looks quite a grey blue on my screen. I would go for a copper kettle and toaster. Also brighten the worktop by adding potted herbs and some wooden boards. I would then look at shades of orange, coral, terracotta or blush for either chairs or cushions for the chairs. I think an orangey tan leather would also work as would a copper chair. I might go for a sisal rug to add some texture and lighten the floor a little, you can get ones with both honey and grey tones in or instead add pattern (depending on chair choice). I'd also add a large potted plant in the corner by the bay and utility. Art with blues in and a touch of an orangey colour too....See Morecolour scheme help for kitchen/diner
Comments (12)I had my kitchen by Howdens and I noticed silly things like cupboards hinged the wrong way or odd sized wall cupboards ie. left had was 450 and right hand was 500. Luckily I'm a designer so picked up on it so I'd advise double checking all sizes and hinges etc. I would definitely start neutral and see how you feel once everything is in. Painting a wall takes no time at all and better to get it right than try do everything at once. I have a blackboard wall in my kitchen, everyone thought I was mad doing a wall in black but it looks very effective and doesn't effect the light at all....See More

last yearI think Zelig tiles are beautiful, they have a lovely handmade look with a slight pearlised finish, however they are expensive. Cashmere is one of the most difficult kitchen unit colours to team with, so as suggested by colourhappy, get lots of samples. I think a simple off white on the walls would be a good choice
