Hi Layla,

Wow, some great ideas going on there.. and hopefully a great space to follow!

Cream and white to not a great combination as the white can often make the cream look dirty and dull. These are all elements that need to balanced very carefully to get the right look but you are heading in the right direction. The blue is fab. Try and make sure you balance the colours throughout the space - for example is blue going to be anywhere else in the space.. or just the breakfast bar?

There seems to be quite a lot going on in terms of textures and patterns so it maybe good to get some better idea of how it will all look. If you are not using a kitchen company who would do some 3D renders, we offer a 3D render package which you maybe interested in to get an idea of how it will all look before you purchase. Please feel free to drop me a message if you want some more details on that.

If not please do keep us informed as I would love to see how it turns out.

All the best,

Gina

Hi Layla! You've got a very interesting project! It sounds like you have a right idea what to do. To be honest, this style industrial and especially in mix with retro can be hard to recreate not being professional. But the best advice I can give you - try to keep it simple, don't try to mix too many shades and colour tones. Add more textures and details in accessories! Than more colours you have to mix than harder it will be to balance all together. Blue is gorgeous but still too many colours around - cream, grey, white, brown wood, blue, copper...surely i missed something! If you like to highlight your breakfast bar by making it blue, may be at least to use similar worktop as in the kitchen? What finishing do you plan to use for walls?

Industrial loves brick, concrete, bare pipes, wires. Retro - clutter free space, funky colours, old look furniture and appliances. How much if each style would you like to bring in? which style is dominant?

The Industrial look is bang on trend at the moment. However don't forget to warm up those dark colours with some some industrial look lighting. Copper or other metal tones combined with glass will go well with the blue and exposed brick idea

or perhaps just a simple lightbulb idea!

Good Luck. It will all come together, it jut seems like alot of big decisions to make all at once doesn't it?!

Layla, sounds VERY interesting, give us a call if you're interested in taking part in a BRAND NEW ITV property renovation show! All the best, Elliott

Hi

You might want to add some impressive 3D wall art like my Large Industrial Wooden Wall Clocks. All of my clocks are handcrafted therefore unique and full of character - would look amazing as a centrepiece in industrial interiors.

There is many more designs available on my website Peak Art Clocks including Giant 120cm Charismatic Clocks and Large Roman Numeral Skeleton Wall Clocks.

Thanks a lot

Anna
