Renovating Home Decorating Kitchens

Kitchen colour advice

3 years ago

Moving into our new home soon and I’m keen to refresh the kitchen as my first project. I’m not sure about the grey tile with the terracotta floor, so I’m thinking of painting the tiles and cupboards. Any suggestions on colour palettes that complement terracotta and will help to lighten the space?

I’d do the other way around, keep the tiles which are in fashion and cover the terracotta which is out of fashion. We had a terracotta tiled floor and just had laminate laid over top so there was no big upheaval. With the tiles I’d go for an off white or pale grey unit colour.

The protruding wall around the fireplace needs to be wallpapered or painted with dense motifs or tiled with stone/brick textured tiles or ply. Re-doing your fireplace will drastically change the look of your living room. See photos below. Consider painting the frames of your doors and sliding doors in the living room and kitchen a dark brown to match the floating shelf over the fireplace. Do not decide what you want to do in poor lighting as you have provided in the photos. Wine is a good color to consider. Also think of darker colors like plum and have different shades on each wall (from the same color family). So maybe think of wine- plum- magenta or wine - oxblood-blood red, etc. whichever suits your taste.

Hi I notice your blind and lamp are Laura Ashley Pelham. Laura Ashley does a duck egg white, pale duck egg and duck egg paint colours. Maybe you could have the duck egg white as the predominant colour and use in both rooms but also use the pale duck egg or duck egg in the lounge, or add some wallpaper. Not sure grey walls would work with the kitchen units. Perhaps more of a taupe/warm grey would work in both spaces though.

I like the wood effect tile. If properly placed it might give the impression of an actual wood floor. Well apart from colour i guess one would have to conisder how easy they are to clean with stains and all. But more importantly how slippery they are when dry, when wet or when there is a little bit of oil on it.

We chose a (very expensive) Abode brass tap and it's great - it felt a bit too luxurious at first but it is less kitcheney than stainess steel. It is aerated so the water doesn't splash everwhere.
