The vertical blinds MUST go. Sorry, but they are hideous and add nothing. Get some fabulous mid century fabric pattern in some gorgeous colours and make curtains. You can make a couple of scatter cushions also out of this fabric. Then pick out your favourite colour from the fabric to add some plain cushions. If you have gone with the patterned rug option such as asquithoatley has suggested, then just pick out the gentler colour for plain curtains to compliment the rug. Either way then choose cushions using any, or all of these colours. Then you should look for some decorative items in these colours such as beautiful bottles that might pick up an aqua, or some lamps with bases that colour to put on a side board. For the wall I suggest that you look on ebay in mid century modern and see if any wall sculptures attract you. There was quite a fad for enamelled metal wall sculptures back in the 60s which would add some life. Try to find one that also incorporates one of the pattern colours. Susan_66 made a great suggestion with a Howard Arkley print of a mid century house. You might even find one that is similar to your house style which would be fun. Happy hunting. You have some good pieces and they will work well with a bit of fun fabric or rug to link them.

Hmmmm can't seem to see any names on it, but will have a better look tomorrow when the lights better. i like the colours Vy, and have been thinking along the same lines... Don't think I'll get away with the pinks tho... I'm the lone female in a house full of Rugby playing males!

This is a specialised and expensive piece of joinery and getting the details right , such as corners, materials, junctions, handles and edges will make or break the success of the piece. In addition you need to carefully consider how cabling, switches and lights all operate, and how things can be serviced in the future.. This is really at the next level to your typical kitchen cabinetmaker so it would be best to contact a specialist, professional high-end, designer/cabinetmaker, who is passionate about design, details, and getting it right, rather than churning out another standard and generic kitchen. Some top-end cabinetmakers have the ability to model things in 3D with their software packages so that you see how it all works, which is really important if you need to reduce costs, and need to understand where to save. Don't waste your money on an ill-conceived or poorly detailed piece of cabinetwork, or using cheaper materials that are not complementary to the beautiful back-lit Onyx stone. If you don't know where to find such a business you could start with looking at local shop-fitters who have a design and build service for upmarket projects, such as Kruger Projects, who I have worked with before and can recommend. http://www.kruegerprojects.com/ Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

Kitchen cabinets colour too dark,can you have more window? If you have large window then your kitchen floor and cabinet colour are good,but if you can’t have larger window/ whatever is the case/, then I would have lighter grey,whitish floor or timber floor like “ash white”, the bench are dark,all is dark according the photo. I don’t know where do you live but Houzz gives us much photos of much kitchen,maybe you will find your kitchen without having financial need or changing the lay- out Good luck
