Thanks Tallulah.
You've got a blank canvas there TG. If it isnt north facing, im quite found of a pale blue, or maybe a soft green.
Sorry about the lack of a trip home, doesnt help that lots of people are missing out on things.1 -

Looks fab, love the cupboards to ceiling makes it so much cleaner. Will you have tiles? Trying to decide what to do with ours and if a kitchen is ok without tiles or if walls get too dirty?Mortgage start date Nov 2014 - £90,545 over 25 years

Thanks for popping in nice you like the kitchen. No tiles but a metal splash back behind the hob so actually a very small area to paint in a bright colour. The rest of the room will be white. I think it will be fine but the worktop does have a bit of an edge up otherwise it would be messy. Lying in bed with my cup of tea so quick not having to use a kettle.Save £12k in 25 No 49

I like the yellows or the blue. I think the dark colour might look too blocky.
I prefer the pale blue but north facing you might need to find a way of warming it up with accent colours. My kitchen is east facing, all white, units and cabinets, pale blue tiles for splashback, and part of one wall has this paper on it

It warms up the room and I've got a seating area with cushions that pick up that terracotta colour. Those 2 things are enough to stop the kitchen looking too clinical.4 -
Bugslet that Wallpaper is lush really like it. Got some more samples yesterday and painted them so currently between blue or yellow. It is quite a dark room and we need more lighting so think yellow might work.New shelves put up yesterday but floor trims needs to be ordered in. Extractor Could not be fitted Friday as electrician has put the hole to the outside too low. Also the splashback doesn’t work as it should have been fitted around the worktop. Can be sorted hopefully Monday. Here are some new pictures sorry some are lop sided

I'll be interested to see what you choose. Our kitchen is charcoal grey with white stone. I'm planning a navy blue accent wallpaper with birds and flowers on the opposing side.
