Hi Eva, the colours I would guide you towards this Autumn have a natural warmth inspired by real organic materials, such as stones (grey/green tone, water (tropical teal), weather (deeper grey/blue), sunshine and dried herbs and spices (green/brown). A great colour for winter is deep red, Marsala or bright paprika. For a warmer brighter look you could use Ochre, a bright warm mustard/yellow, which we associate with heat, sun and general good feeling and looks amazing contrasted with grey.

My advice on a new kitchen would be to go with a neutral kitchen that suits you and the style of your home. You can add these beautiful colours separately in accessories or by painting a wall. As we all know kitchens are expensive and will be in our homes for at least 5 -10 years plus, so stick with what you love, not what is this seasons fashion.

One last thing!! I like using natural accessories in a kitchen and enjoy changing my rooms slightly each season to give a different feel. At the moment, I have chosen dark red flowers and I have a vase full of oranges to add a natural warmth.

I hope this has helped you. Feel free to ask any questions at any point.

I would look in an analogous direction to those colors. They're not that tough to deal with, they're just sort of unusual. You can accent easily with both blues and reds because because that violet tone is sort of a blending of the two. Magenta also works nicely as do pinks or teals. You can also jump across and (very carefully) use some yellow too. Its common to see people mix a little bit of green as well (though I'm not fond of this). Any neutral (provided its on the warmer side of things or purely neutral like your black couches) will work, but I might only use black as an accent since you have so much of it and because the walls are dark already. You need contrast, something to make the space pop.

xbuzznshellzx, check out the post by buttrfluttr in this [old thread[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/benjamin-moore-paint-in-austrilia-can-i-match-dsvw-vd~799560). If no luck doing it this way try order the BM paint card samples then take into any store that has a spectrophotometer. They can do a read on the sample to work out a formula.

With two tone Federation Kitchen Cabinets, we usually use the darker colour on the lower levels so as to avoid creating a sense of the room being top heavy, but having said this; your Kitchen should always be a reflection of your own personal taste and individuality. As with these images indicate, using a darker colour on your overhead cabinets can work when choosing the right colour and placement and so I encourage you to go with what you like.

what a great looking house, love the windows and bricks ...i would maintain the existing mid century look of the house by first repairing any damage and cleaning all the concrete, keep the varnished eaves, paint windows and trim white again and repaint the handrails in a very dark brown or grey and maybe a a bright colour like deep turquoise or acid green for the front door ..it would be so much better to embrace the original style of the house instead of attempting to "modernise" it too much...it's difficult to tell from the photos but with a flat roof the fascia might also look good in the same dark colour as the handrails
