Hi
Just recently had a new kitchen installed, cabinets are farrow and ball hardwick white, walls are strong white and struggling to pick a colour for the woodwork. Was thinking downpipe or London clay but open to suggestions!!

Comments (7)This is a very small and dark kitchen I would defo change the colour of the units to an antique cream and the worktop a darker colour maybe walnut and paint those double doors and the window sill white to match the other wood work also get a smaller round table it would give you more floor space the chairs you have would still work and maybe add some splashes of acidy colours lime green/orange or yellows not too much just a few touches. also Jacksplash is correct about the blind if you are keeping a blind go for a straight edge one. if your budget allows I would also change the sink to a white sink it really reflex light from the window and brightens the room I did something the same with my own sink it doesn't have to be a Belfast sink you can get the same sink as you already have in white ceramic....See MoreHelp me choose a bed for guest room
Comments (30)Melissa, when I said footboard, I meant this. It has a portion of the bed that extends beyond the mattress edge. You posted a bed that had something at the foot section of the bed. By platform, I mean a bed that has a hard area and only a mattress on it. Like this. It does not extend beyond the edge of the mattress, but does not have a box spring. It is also lower to the ground. The picture you posted was a high profile bed and box spring. It was not on a typical bed frame. A standard bed frame, used with box spring and mattress looks like this. Virtually invisible and does not extend out beyond the mattress/box spring set. That being said, I'd recommend you get a headboard that is not too big for your space. Neither in height or depth (distance from the wall). I would also not get a mattress frame that extends beyond the size of the mattress. Sorry to have not been clear before....See MoreNeutral paints for whole house
Comments (2)Hello 9woodview, Have a look at Little Greene, They do a fantastic range of chalky paints for walls and woodwork.. Whitening is a gr8 one for ceilings and then there's a whole range of neutral colours to choose from that can add contrast, compliment and look bold and vivid at the same time.. Even with more subtle colours you can still create an impact. They have a few brighter colours that might not spring to mind with the word neutral! Think of the furnishings and accessories like mirrors etc that will also add to it.. Smaller pieces can add a lot to the look and feel of a room.. Once you have decided on a colour scheme.. I would suggest no more than 3 per room and if you want to create a flow between the house you could compliment the colours in slightly different ways or tones throughout.. Adding things to emphasise will help to lift lighter colours.. Consider golds, woods and lovely mirrors or pictures.. :)) http://www.littlegreene.com/paint/colour/neutral-paint...See Morerosecottagehome
