New colour scheme?? Help
my kitchen/dining room needs a bit of a new look. I can’t afford to change the tiles and flooring but it definitely needs freshening up and a new colour theme. I’ll be getting new wood work tops and all the signs etc to come down. Any ideas on colours that will work with those tiles And floor? It’s a great space and I’m stuck on what to go for. Thanks for any ideas or advice

Colour Scheme for new home
Comments (1)Hi. I would try and go for a cohesive look throughout the house so it flows. Maybe choose a few colours for the walls that work together which could be different shades of grey for example (no pun intended!) or another neutral colour. Have a look at farrow and ball for inspiration as they make suggestions for colour matches. Paint all your ceilings and woodwork throughout in the same colour. Then pick accent colours for each room. Again these could be colours that work together. Have a look at a colour wheel to see what colours work together. As your living area is open plan you definitely need the colours to work together. If you chose a grey for example you could have an accent wall in a darker shade. I hope that helps. I didn't follow this for my old house but did for my new one and it does make a big difference....See MoreNorth facing living room colour scheme help!
Comments (0)Our living room is a cosy size, about 15x15. It has a large window on one wall, fireplace on the opposite (will be a cream cast iron traditional style fireplace). I was thinking of painting it a very mellow sage green but am at a loss with what curtains to put in....See MoreHelp! Colour scheme for smallish living room

4 years agoMy units are exactly like yours, a soft cream slab door! I really like your floor, and a wooden worktop would look good. I think a pale cream or off white (Dulux Almond White maybe) would calm things down a bit. As you already know, the room is a bit busy with the wallpaper, lime green paint, signs and dark tiles. Are you keeping the wallpaper? If you are, then a neutral shade on the walls. If you want colour on the walls, I would still go with a calm, soft shade - sage green or duck egg blue go well with cream.

4 years agoI would stick with one colour to prevent it being too busy. You could have a feature wall in another colour if you have an “end” wall, if you get what I mean! The far wall in my kitchen is navy. Would you mind sharing a picture of the other end of the room? I love the clock by the way. Here are pics of my rather small kitchen just to give more ideas, or not!

Sanderson Graphite is a nice charcoal . We painted our kitchen dark grey and it looked really warm in any light

4 years agoYes I think the tv wall could be a different, bolder shade. Navy (of course), deep green or a blend of the two like F&B Inchyra Blue. You get the idea in Marina’s mock up of that wall. I have painted over wallpaper in the past as I was too lazy to strip the paper off. It was okay! Don’t forget you can add more colour with accessories. It is your home so choose colours you love.
