Thanks for the tip, Iona. Unfortunately, they don't have anything that looks like the picture. Pammy, thank you for the technical term for the carpet type. This might help me narrow my search a wee bit. Will look forward to hearing from anyone else who has seen anything a carpet that's anything like the picture!

Thank you Good With Wood - I have gone bespoke on my kitchen cupboard colour to try to match this and have looked at some walnut worktop samples and you're totally right. Thank you for helping me achieve this look!

Hi Coco, yes sure I understand now! Do you have lighting in the cooker hood? If so this will help a great deal. If not and it's too late to add then now, just make sure you have ceiling lights that give good general light, by that I mean not a directional spot as you will always be cooking in your own shadow. I think this may have been something that annoyed so much before? Recessed or spotlights above the cooking area are good, but if your cooker hood has built in lights you should be fine. Here's a few glass lights which are easy to clean (important in a kitchen) and they let plenty of light shine out in all directions. This is what I mean by a general light. Although I think the styles are a bit special. https://www.lightingcompany.co.uk/the-lighting-book-ray-vintage-antique-brass-3lt-ceiling-bar-pendant-with-clear-tapered-glass-shades-p5520 https://www.lightingcompany.co.uk/quoizel-trilogy-vintage-3lt-ceiling-pendant-with-old-bronze-chain-suspension-and-frame-with-seeded-glass-shade-p6478 From the links (limited to 4 days easter weekend) you'll notice we are having a sale - a great time to buy lights if you are still looking. Finally you mentioned it's a north facing room. My top tip here is use LED light bulbs as they are much cheaper to run, last years, meaning you won't have to get a high step ladder to change light bulbs. Do you know the number one reason for dark rooms is people just don't replace light bulbs when they blow! Me included! I've now swapped to LED and my kitchen is bright all the time now. Here's a link to some worth thinking about. https://www.lightingcompany.co.uk/extra-bits-c95/light-bulbs-c96 Hope that helps, but should you need some more help, why not start chatting to us.
