Can I paint the walls anything other than white? I’m struggling here and need inspiration!

Sage?
Watching this with interest as I am planning a navy kitchen. Where did you get yours? Seen a nice one in Howdens but DIY kitchens don't seem to do navy.

Mine is light grey x

DIY definitely do a navy; I have it. We have tracery II (little greene) on the walls, and French grey mid at the other end of the room

A pinkish neutral. Try Dulux Mellow Mocha.

I have Little Green Hollyhock with F&B Hague Blue.

Any kind of pale neutral stone or greige colour will go. Paint &Paper Library has a very good range.

Pale subtle pink could also work.

Personally I like white though, as long as it’s not brilliant white. I’d do white with some bright pictures or bright green plants on the wall.

I’d love to see some photos of a navy unto against your wall colours. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a navy kitchen, and I’ll be getting a new one next year v

I'd go white but with orange accents, advised a friend to do this and it looks amazing

AmbushedByCake1 · 05/05/2022 17:50

Light pink

Autienotnaughtie · 05/05/2022 17:59

Light grey

FIZZYTEDDY · 05/05/2022 19:28

I have a lot of navy in my house. The best complementing colours in my opinion if you want a colour other than grey is

light/dusky pink

Mustard if you want to draw out a feature colour

Duck egg/mint if you want more low key

The best grey/base colour for non feature walls IMO is a farrow and ball colour (that I get made up in Johnson's paint as F&B £££) is the colour "Elephants Breath" It is a grey but it so many great warm undertones and shades that it literally goes with everything! And it's far from that lilac grey colour.

ZenNudist · 05/05/2022 19:29

My first thought was a light blush pink

ShowOfHands · 05/05/2022 19:31

I have a navy kitchen. The walls are papaya playa which unsurprisingly, is a very orangey, gold type colour.

And we have vintage Moroccan tiles as well.

I like a lot of colour!

SW1amp · 05/05/2022 19:34

We have white with Hague blue and a white quartz worktop
we tried soooo many swatches but nothing else worked

Romana8 · 05/05/2022 19:39

Omg so many suggestions thank you everyone! It’s not here yet but it is from Howdens, although I think DIY do them too as I’m pretty sure we looked at them briefly

I have a bespoke painted navy DIY kitchen with their cornflower blue island units with navy quartz. My decorator had the paint for the walls matched to the cornflower blue which actually looks very pale in our south facing room. I'm really pleased with the overall effect.

@Romana8 @imayhavelostmymarbles

You should look into B&Q we got ours from them and they were good...cheaper than Homebase. IKEA also do navy kitchens.

I've attached a photo of ours! Our top was resin but looks like/feels like quartz. Whole kitchen including appliances was around the £5-6k mark which I think is very reasonable! That's not including install as my husband did it (joiner). They do interest free finance.

A neutral/cream type colour

Callmejudith · 05/05/2022 20:38

We have a navy kitchen and went with Lip Gloss from the b&q range. It’s a v v pale pink and looks lovely

Romana8 · 05/05/2022 21:16

@FIZZYTEDDY wow Your kitchen is lovely!!

This is ours… the room is very light but we couldn’t find a colour for the walls that added anything that white couldn’t do

A really nice plaster pink sort of colour looks perfect with navy.

Sanderson do a shade called French Rose which we've used lots at work (interior design).

SeemsSoUnfair · 05/05/2022 22:57

I would probably to with white, neutral or coordinating blue depending on the shade of navy and how much wall you had to cover.

Absolutely no to any shade of pink.
