Help with internal wall colours
Hi there
We are down the line with the build, steels are in, floors are in, ceilings are half in, stairs are delivered (and too short as I had that job), kitchen is delivered, plumbing is in progress as are electrics.
I'm being pressured to choose a wall colour, ideally for the whole house, although I'm not confident about this.
We have anthracite windows and bi folds, initially i'm interested in the kitchen,living,snug room, which is west facing, 600sq ft of open plan space with 14ft bi fold doors (not yet installed, so its bl00dy cold up there) The kitchen in light grey shaker style, island is dark grey . Tiles are 600x600 shiny light tile, worktops will be solid oak to warm it up a bit. We have an oak table and chairs for the dining area, and a dark grey sofa for the snug. This is the mock up of the kitchen plan.
I was edging towards the whole house in F&B slipper satin or similar, but hubby wants something grey like F&B Dovetale, that will contrast with the white woodwork and ceilings better and I tend to agree, but not the whole house, and I wonder if Dovetale in this one room is too much grey?
These are the floor tiles we will be having.
I would welcome any advice :)
Thanks, Julie

What colour curtains for my living room?
Comments (13)I understand the look and would possibly compromise by bringing a white and brown striped curtain into play. This would add verticality and tie your wallpaper and white cabinet into the decor. When open you would have subtle brown and white stripes, and when closed a continuation of the wall pattern...See MorePls help, mosaic doesn't match with wall tiles, how can I salvage this
Comments (13)Hi Rubypumps. Unfortunately you have made the common mistake of mixing undertones. I see this a lot as a colour consultant. Mistakes with your hard finishes are the worst kind because they are very costly to change. Right now your walls have a pink undertone and your walls behind the tub and counter are clearly blue grey. Since blue is complementary to pink, it brings out the pink in the tile even more and the clean blue makes the tile look dirty. It may be hard for you to see this, but this is what's happening and this is probably why you don't like your bathroom. Since you chose such a busy mosaic, it has become the boss (and focal point) of the room and I would now keep your other finishes as simple as possible. If you can, down the road, change the beige tile. Because unfortunately, there is no magic colour combination that will make it disappear. Working with what you have, I would most likely go with a more neutral cabinet like Uniboard G21 Viva Walnut. It will help warm up the space. Black is too stark for this bathroom....See MoreCurtain help, what sort of material and colour should I choose ?
Comments (7)What a great room! If you enjoy the general Monochromatic feel of your room I'd go with white or silver (see 'option2' photo) and let your accent pillows do the accenting! The blue hue on the wall actually simplifies your color options. Either pull that color in through a patterned application as mentioned above (see 'option1' photo) or just stick to silver/white. Have fun! Kurt D. Snyder Designer...See MoreDecoration help!
Comments (11)Well actually I'm not a fan of wall decals/stickers and sticky hooks don't hold up on concrete walls with a weird paint on them Anyhoo, I only put up original art in the form of painting OR of family/friends portraits. It's been sorted out. But still can't figure out how to delete this post or edit it to no longer relevant, if someone knows lemme know!...See MoreEmily
