Anyone out there hot on colours/lighting etc who might like to give me some advice?
We are renovating our house and will have a large open plan kitchen/dining/living space (7.5m square). There will be a 6m run of sliding doors out to the garden and close to the centre of the room (running parallel with the doors) will be a line of large skylights. The kitchen/dining area will be in one half of the room with a hob run along the long wall, a large island in the middle of this half of the room, and a fridge/freezer/larder unit combo along the short wall. Flooring will have an oak finish.
I always intended painted units with a charcoal/pale grey/white colour scheme, with the island in a charcoal/dark grey and the hob run and larder units in off white or with a hint of grey. The worktop is a white quartz with pale grey veining that mimics Carrara marble.
But I am now really worried that for a north-facing room, which currently is too dark but where we are hoping that the sliding doors and rooflights will introduce lots of light, the colour scheme is ?wrong?. But I can?t work out how to warm it up so that it works better (if the light will be an issue at all with the new windows/doors?) or what colour scheme would work better but be just as nice.
Can anyone point me in the direction of, say, any Farrow and Ball colours that might solve my dilemma?
