Kitchen paint advice
Comments (20)The kitchen is finished now. This is when it was nearly finished but I don't have a final picture to hand. We went with cream tiles, a copy of Laura Ashley artisan tiles instead of metro tiles and a matching grout. The metro tiles in cream just didn't look quite right. I realised the white wouldn't work! And I went with Dulux polished pebble on the walls as it still came out very light and just walnut looked just like a dirty white when we put testers up. Went with patterned tiles too and painted the dresser green not red....See MoreKitchen paint colour advice
Comments (15)Thanks for all your comments! I am adding a few more photos to show the whole space we have to work with. It's a large area, approx 100square metres. The opposite end to the kitchen will have large dining table near the bifolds and the other side will be sofa/tv area. We're happy to keep the rest white and brighten it up with pictures and stuff, I just think a colour behind the units would look better than white. We've looked at Farrow&Balls Elephants breath and Green Blue since I've last been on here. Bearing in mind what we choose may dictate furniture choices for the other end....See MoreHelp please kitchen cupboard wrong colour choice!
Comments (26)French Grey is a lovely colour, I'd live with it for a while and the rug colour may be skewing it a little. I'd add a Roman blind to soften things, style it up a bit and see how you go. On the rug front - I think they are fine in a kitchen. Kitchens often had rugs but now it's frowned upon for some reason but they seem to be making a come-back I'm pleased to say as they add a lovely, comfortable homely feel. Find something washable, ideally a pattern, use underlay to anchor/stick it down if you're worried about slips and trips (depends on weight of rug). Size-wise, don't run it too close to units to avoid worst spills etc. The new synthetic indoor/outdoor rugs will work well or a washable cotton....See MoreAdvice on paint colour for kitchen walls please!!
Comments (7)I have similar colour combo kitchen and painted the walls in F&B Light Blue. Looks fab against the cream cabinets, giving a slight vintage feel....See MoreJane Mather
