Paint colours for connected kitchen and living room
Hello. I'm hoping for some advice on what paint colours might work well in a couple of rooms. Our basement is converted into two rooms - a kitchen and an 'other' room, which we're planning to have as a living room. The rooms are connected by a doorway (with no door) so you can see in between. Therefore the colours in the two rooms need to be on the same theme/complimentary/the same (I think). We've recently had a lot of work done in both rooms (see fresh plaster in the kitchen and no flooring in the living room). Please see photos below.
Previously in the kitchen two walls were white and two were Dulux Iced mocha, and in the living room three walls were white and one was a grey-blue. We quite liked the mixing of colours, so would quite like to try something like that again. Sadly the cupboards can't be painted, so will be staying cream/purple. We're planning on some kind of wood/wood-effect flooring in the living room.
We quite like traditional (UK) colours, but enjoy scandi-type colours too. We've been looking at grey and green-grey options (including Farrow and Ball's French Gray), possibly with some kind of off-white, grey, stone colour. Also got a tester pot for Farrow and Ball's Hay, but we're really not sure!
Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

Comments (0)I've a large open plan pitch roof kitchen that leads into a standard size living room. I've painted my living room F&B Pigeon and railings on the skirting board to match the railings on the island in the kitchen. I had planned to paint the kitchen pigeon but I'm now doubting my decision. Any suggestions on alternative colours to complement the pigeon or should I just go bold?...See MoreChoosing Living Room Paint Colours
Comments (0)I have a large rectangular living room / music room which is two rooms in one. The living room is South West Facing and the Music room is North East facing. I am thinking of painting the walls White Tie by Farrow and Ball and the skirtings and door frame Matchstick. One problem is the window frame and sills are white UPVC. The ceilings are 8ft high so have opted for a pure, brilliant white ceiling. The dado rail is going and all the furnishings will be neutral with black piano and fireplace. I would appreciate any advice here and thanks!...See More

4 years agoHow about something completely different. Have just used Farrow and Ball modern emulsion in ‘Brinjal’ on two walls as contrast to white on other two walls in kitchen diner. Would never have looked at this type of aubergine colour before but so pleased with results ....works so well with warm wood and the type of floor tiles you have.
