Thanks so much for the advice everyone! i will talk to my parents about adding a fence, trimming the greenery and doing something about that red brick! me me - they brought the house off the builder in the 90's - its like a weird light grey with the green paint trims - the inside was worse, apricot as far as the eye could eye!

If you have a sample of it then Dulux can match it with a "Snapshot" digital colour analyser at one of the Dulux Trade centres. It matches any paint sample to the three closest standard paints. If you don't have a sample of it, and have only seen images of it on the internet then you are better off selecting one of the Dulux greys as it is too difficult to match from a digital image as there are too many variables with lighting, cameras and screens.

If you dont want a cream or white colour but want to keep it neutral you could pick out the taupe colour that is also in your tile and paint this colour on the wall. Alternatively if you want to add a bit more colour to the bathroom then a blue/green colour such as light teal or a softer tone such as Duck Egg or Eau De Nil would really compliment the beige tiles.

@Kate Exactly, this is the one. @ausjoinery Yep, we have kids at home. Am not too fond of glossy finish due to finger print will be easily visible, but positive side of it is easy cleaning. @dreamer I was thinking about the darker cabinets too (Though am a white colour fan), awalnut brown or black or so on..
