Do you have a picture

I have PGH brown quarry tiles throughout the kitchen, living, dining and areas of my 1980's house. I want to replace them. Can tiles or timber or bamboo floors be laid over existing tiles? I would really like to go with polished concrete, but is it worth the cost, and effort, of removing the tiles ..... and would what's underneath be satisfactory to "polish" ??? How costly is this? It's a big area.

Never judge external colours from samples when inside. Take them outside and stick them vertically to the wall. You will find that the sun will make darker colours look much lighter, and your perception of them will change at different times of the day. A Hamptons style paint scheme will not make your house look like a Hamptons style house as there are too many architectural elements that are very un-Hamptons.

When you have an idea of a colour you like, you can go to the Dulux website and see the details of the colour: light reflectance and the ratio of red to green to blue. Then pick some similar colours - I generally go for something slightly darker and something lighter but the same or similar colour. Alternatively you could go for same tone but slightly different colours - cooler or warmer. Order these 3 or 4 in the large A4 swatches and then use blu tack to put them on the walls you plan to paint. It is amazing how different these will look in different areas and at different times of the day. I number each one on the back and keep a record of my preferred colour in north, south, east & west facing spots in morning & afternoon light. The choice then comes down to which colour I picked most often.
