I think if you found a subtle mosaic tile to do the backsplash with blues/greys/white it would tie it in together fine. Honestly I get the feeling that when in the kitchen it would seem quite nice (as far as blue kitchens go). What jumps out at me is the back of the cabinet that is facing the carpet. I think if you could cover that with something neutral the kitchen would blend in better with the rest of the room. You could get a cheap vinyl cover/end panel to put over it (even one that matches the Benchtop would be better), or tiles, or wood panels/slats - so many options :) Can I suggest you take a photo looking straight into the kitchen & then re-assess what bothers you from just that perspective?

Hi Annabelle, Dulux Paving Stone will be a lovely contrast to the white on the cabinets. If you are wanting more of a white than Haast Half to use throughout the house, look at 'Snowy Mountains half' for the walls and ceilings, which will give you that crisp art gallery type feel, without it being cold. You can also use Snowy Mountains Half on the trims and doors but in semi gloss finish which will provide a small contrast, but then also use Snowy Mountains half on all of the kitchen cabinets. For a Polytec laminate in a timber darkish colour look at Char Oak, which I would use only on the fireplace cabinetry. If you choose to whiten the trims through the house, use Vivid White, but also use this colour on the kitchen cabinets. Paving Stone will work on the long cabinets in either option. Hope this helps:)

Nope - with all of those different whites they will react and one of them will look creamy or dirty. Suggest you go with a soft grey to pick out the grey in the benchtop. Matching whites and getting it right is really hard to do successfully when the whites are different materials from different manufacturers. Start looking at some of the greys in Johnson's Spectrum range in the 197 x 97 size, get samples and see how they work with your benchtop and cabinetwork in your kitchen. There are lots of other grey subway tile options available depending on where you are.... Best of luck Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls
