Cream will go well and will be a much better choice, so that you won't be stuck always trying to decorate around red. Also, see below...this room with a red carpet would be a bit overwhelming I think.

It's a grey/blue sea fog exterior colour but is there a rule of thumb to painting the trim around windows? I know to go a lighter or darker shade but as it's cut into the hillside I don't want it sticking out in an obvious way. Which is better to give the impression of larger windows? Also painting a porch style pitched roof above front door can that be another but complimenting colour to door and walls?

I am installing a new kitchen in corn forth white. I would like some advice on suitable colour for worktop and splash back. I was thinking of white silestone Lyra but am unsure if this is too bland. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am moving to a new house near Guildford and will be re painting the whole house in neutral colours with off white woodwork and having carpet upstairs, but really don't want to have the stress and mess of removing the bathroom wall and floor tiles. I am trying to think of how I can keep the cottage/country/traditional feel with a modern twist, without removing the tiles. I will paint the door an off white. I do like wooden wall panels half way but wondering whether the blue tiles are worth keeping or what else I could do with the white tiles on the window wall and floor tiles which I dont like at all. I will change the sink to a vanity sink and toilet. Any help and ideas on what can be done without removing the tiles or what colours etc would look good would be appreciated! Photo attached. Thank you!
