Hi---since you want to keep it bright and rich, I suggest Muted aqua/turquoise blue. Pics for inspiration-second pic the furniture and drapery hues would look great with the gold. Good Luck! Love the BOLD Yellow... :) [houzz=][houzz=][houzz=]

try the above paint suggestion and think about adding paneling to the expose bar end and turn under the dark counter. It will be easier to wash off those shoe marks when kids kick, and you won't have clash if you maybe painted paneling same as wall. Test paint with poster board and see if you like it first. Lighting can really make a difference in the perception of colors, and might fix the "clash". Try warm or cold colored bulbs in those pot lights, and see what happens. good luck

My walls are painted Trendy Pink (Resene) and wallpaper Purple textured kinda like water bubble affects. want ideas on shelving for towels etc whether I display them or hide them away in cupboards or the like. I am a sports therapist and wish to change the look alittle with adding new things ... and what colour towels should I go for as white is nice but look aweful after a while... how would I dress my table etc to look professional... Please help me ... I have been massaging for 8 years and need a vamp up..Nichola

Thanks courtney. it's all finished and we love it. We chose a white glass back splash which really helps to brighten up the space. On a sunny day it's so bright I pull the blinds down lol! the photo looks alot colder than it is too. It's taken on my phone so not the best.
