Keep the lounge away from the wall and it'll look bigger.

This just popped up , but I see it is quite old . Did you decide on paint colours ? The roof looks almost a brown tone in the photos , but you say it is dark grey . I assume you don't want to paint that ? If you do , go more charcoal IMO . If you don't , I'm assumimg it will look several shades darker with your wall colour choices . There is a roller door on the garage that appears to be a nice shade of orangey yellow . Personally , I would go with your colour choices , but do all the doors ( roller doors , wooden doors ) and gutterings in that ochre shade . Your terrace I would do in a charcoal , but with the top rail either in the orangey yellow , or a really crisp white . I know that sounds a bit 70's ( although they would have added a lot of ranch brown back then haha ! ) but against the light grey I suspect it would work together well , and look the part .

Hi there! We are about to start a renovation project which will produce an open plan kitchen / lounge area with a high ceiling and exposed beams in the lounge part. The house is a coastal property, but on a harbour rather than a beach. I'm a huge fan of colour and am planning a boho-type them with relatively neutral coloured walls and then lots of colour in furnishings, artwork etc. My issue is as to what colour to paint the walls. I don't like anything cream/beige/brown/ grey/pure white, so was thinking of a very light blue, or perhaps a white with a warm blue undertone. Any suggestions?

Is this picture taken during the day or at night? If it’s daytime your kitchen must not get much natural light. Go for white cabinets to reflect as much light as possible to brighten the room up. Boring but timeless & always looks fresh. For colour you could do a splash back, or just add colour via accessories such as a bright kettle/toaster set, tea towels etc., easier & cheaper to change if you get tired of it.
