I think you need to consider other elements that have already been chosen. What floor and worktop choices did you make?

We have antique pine floorboards and will have white quartz worktops so really any colour would work.

I’m not sure if looking for trends is the way forward. I live very near to Devol’s main showroom/mill, and over the years, I don’t think their colours change very much at all - they’re quite classic. So what I think I’m saying is just go with something that makes your heart sing! On a personal note, I have an in frame kitchen and we used F&B Dimpse - and years on I still love it - but I notice some touch points get grubby. As a result I’m often thinking about re-painting with a slightly grubbier colour to blend in with life (dirt!!). I’ve used Mylands Grosvenor Square in a few of our rooms and love it - so I think I might use this eventually on the kitchen. It’s a pale stone/grey/green colour, that’s a bit paler and greener than Devol’s mushroom.

I'm leaning towards dark grey green at the moment. I still love navy but we might not stay in this house more than 3 or 4 years so trends are good as it should see us through to selling it.

I wouldn't follow trends for a kitchen that should last over 20 years. White never goes out of fashion.

Thanks but I like trends and would like to be ahead of the curve, hence asking the question. It’s a painted kitchen and can always be repainted if our tastes change.

Green with pine flooring looks great and also goes nicely with the white worktop. If the fascias are paintable that an advantage as you can simply repaint them in years to come as trends change.

It all depends on the actual colour of the worktop. White, but what white? Photos would be good. Some colours are timeless, some are trend related. The grey trend ended years ago, replaced with navy, then green, now we're in warm colours and terracottas etc. Anything goes, just don't put too many trends together, it can look 'forced'. Personally, you can't go far wrong with 'stone' colours, they are timeless.

@Juliet Docherty worktops aren't installed yet, but its going to be a standard white cararra style with a very faint vein, very understated. Should go with anything.

White carerra worktops are a good all round choice and very on trend.

Just to add as a seller of kitchens the grey trend definitely didn’t end years ago. lt’s still one of our best sellers.

Well if you want to be on trend, choose green. If you want to be ahead of the trend visit a couple of showrooms like Neptune and speak to them. Simple.

Hi Rachel,

What a lovely project!. 2023 seeing quite a bit neutrals in the kitchen as well as going bold. So how about a cashmere/latte (Little Greene in Mushroom 142 with Knightsbridge 215 )with a bold contrasting island in a deep mocha brown. Earthy tones are
