fascia and lighting to do, what colour for the fascia?

I'd go for a pale colour, possibly a pastel green. It'll also keep the room bright.

I always use silver or aluminuim as these are unnatural colours and when looking at the layout the eye ignores them unlike greens and browns traditionally used.

If possible avoid black and dark colours as they show the dust and dirt. The best thing to do is buy a couple of small match/sample pots and try them on parts of the fascia.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for that, I've always used dark colours in the past, but as you say the show scuffs and dirt and instead of been unobtrusive they can be the opposite. Pastel shades are probably the way to go, I will venture to the 7th circle of hell (B&Q) and pick up some match pots and see what looks good. Eau-de-nil seems a good choice, but when I was at sea we used it a lot in the accommodation, so it might be a bit nautical for me!
Thanks again
I.E.B.
