Miss Lucy, we are looking at SM / SMH. Flooring will be a warm oak (not too warm) and furnishings tbc but probably a soft grey. How do you find the paint works in your house. What sort of colour scheme re kitchen Cabinets, benchtop, furnishing fixtures etc . ... Id rather have the other work done and then decide on colour but need to get colour to cabinet maker ASAP ... sigh Who knew so many whites. Kitchen is north facing . Living and Master south facing so just makes things harder!

I'm going to be tricky and recommend staying within the cool palette. Sometimes when you mix warm and cool colours, even if they're neutrals, they can bounce off each other strangely and look bad. Lexicon is pure white with only a touch of black added (no other pigments) and your 'Black White' cupboards may well be the same. Paint some areas with a sample pot first if you're feeling hesitant, but I do think the colour consultant was a great idea. Good luck!

Hi Kruti. Those new pieces are lovely. There’s a houzz article in Stories about how to decorate a console table. If you select Stories, then Interior Design, then Decorating, and then type ‘how to decorate a console table,’ in the window, the article should pop up. I think you will find it very helpful.

I would vote for the top example here. Itr gives an earthy tone to the room and yet is still bright and wont show every piece of dust or food.
