I think that we want to paint it an off-white/cream colour (boring I know), but all the neutrals colours seem to look the same on the paintcard. Any thoughts please?
Dulux's Jasmine White looks good from the test pot, but I'm undecided.

We are constantly washing off their handprints, baby wipes are a life saver Grin

If you're not feeling very daring then why not go for a strong colour on just one wall and a pale colour for the rest. I change my colour schemes all the time though - I get bored easily Grin

Ours is yellow - sounds awful (and was a shock at first) but it needed brightening up.

Our units have powder blue and vanilla yellow panels in a maple frame. We have white walls and tiles. I'm moving now and looking to put in a new kitchen, but all the catalogues are so boring! I like colour and warmth and rooms. I wouldn't like an all white room - too cold and clinical for me, especially on a dull day. I think that jasmine white would go well with shaker style cream, but add some colour! Have you got good light in the room, and what sort of floor and surfaces?

Focus White Chocolate. A nice cream. Did our kitchen and the back bedroom in it last year.

aqua-looks really good

still veering towards white/off-white, duck egg is very tempting but think we may paint a bedroom that colour.

keep the ideas coming please, I'm afflicted with severe indecisiveness (and lack of imagination)

Jasmine white is lovely.

We have orange in the kitchen and dining room - a very sociable colour so I am told. Ours is called "Frenzy" heh heh. Not to be advised if you are often hungover :)

cream units would look good with blue if orange too much.. I thought that as previous owners had done our orange walls. But once I had been there a few days I grew to love it and when repainted I did it ornage again but brighter!
