Kitchen colour styling
Comments (15)Thanks for all those comments. It would be nice to replace everything but it was done in stages and some bits cost a bit. Taking shape piecemeal with out a whole perspective resulted in the dilemma now. I would hate to lose the stone bench top and the tiles laid recently to match it. The rest is negotiable so I really aim to tie it together. No one is tending to sit in the kitchen they rather sit in the living room. And yes I need better shelf space and spot for microwave and I did hope to get the fridge next to the door beside the wall return but I would need a thinner fridge. I had hoped to remove that door altogether and use the bi fold doors in the living room as an exit but they may not be ideal for that. So my main aim was to tie together the bench top and floor with colour and maybe some modifications to the upper cabinets?? The back door is actually and off white....See MoreIndustrial style kitchen tips and styling ideas.
Comments (1)I wasn't entirely sure I understood what an authentic industrial style was. It's interesting to know it has particular elements but is not limited only by those same elements, but can embrace other elements or styles.

Comments (10)The only real problem here is that your jewel accent colours are floating in a sea of greige. It needs a bridging accessory to tie the different colours into that neutral background which is swamping it. Put a russet throw on that couch and watch it suddenly morph into a harmonious scheme. You have to balance not just the scheme but the weight of the colours too. The weight is determined by volume as well as hue. This is a pale grey living room (walls, couch & carpet) with dark/bright accents. They made those accents work by putting an enormous navy rug in there to tie it all in. The colour intensity difference is fine because of the way it's balanced by volume. At the moment your couch, walls, artwork and carpet are all the same colour, just at different levels of intensity. There is no contrast in that room. You suddenly throw three tiny cushions in there and they can't balance out the miles of greige. A throw or rug in same orange as that floral cushion is needed to put more weight into the accent colours by upping the volume of it. The killjoy in your bedroom are the magnolia walls. You need to increase the intensity of the walls. So either go a much darker shade of magnolia (khaki Taubmans), or some other mid tone colour. People get really scared of intense colour on walls, why I have no idea. Especially in a bedroom, where you want it to feel cosy, a mid tone colour can really work to create mood. You only spend night time in a bedroom and go there to sleep. A darker room colour is perfect for that. You don't need to spend hours a day in there and you want a colour that pacifies and induces rest. In your particular bedroom I would choose either Wet Lichen or Silver Willow (Taubmans) for your walls. They are grey greens in mid tone that will harmonise both with the deep bottle green and the wood colour of your furniture. Don't be afraid of how dark they appear. Wood furniture has a habit of swallowing colour. You will find the furnished room will not look half as dark as you expect. Your bottle green bed throw actually contains a prussian blue base which lends it a more natural and greyish cast. I would also change out your lamps for something quite dark, like a chocolate to complete the look....See Morewhat colour/style cushions would you put here
Comments (7)Lots of lovely options available. I’d play up the green and blue already in your palette, and perhaps add a bit of interest with a pattern that appeals to you. White with these colours would look very swish, too. Choose your fabric very carefully tho, and be prepared to a bit more careful with it/them to keep that crisp look...See Morejulie herbert
