Dulux UK equivalent or similar for the wall colour?
Comments (51)I tried colour matching various f&b shades with Valspar professional , some of which B&Q even had a 'recipe' for, but none of them really came close. I ended up buying mainly with Valspar's own professional paint (primer & paint in one) & loved the durable, scrubbable, finished result. They have a fab colour range too & their colour cards are a good size & absolutely spot on to the painted colour. (If you cannot see a swatch of colour that you like, they have an additional enormous swatch book under the counter. Their tester pots are brilliant value for money & a good size too. I also bought Dulux & Crown on the 2 for £22 offer which is unbeatable if on a tight budget!...See Morepurchased an antique media center for living room
Comments (1)Hi. It would be good to see a pic. What colour are the walls? You can always add an accent colour for cushions etc, orange or a soft lime green should work with the blue and gold or even just a soft white. A shade of red may also work but hard to tell without seeing the shades of blue...See MoreAccent colour and soft furnishings for grey victorian lounge
Comments (29)You could add a number of things to help bring life to the room. You have chosen the perfect muted colour scheme that will complement lots of art work and colours. From your photos I would say you could add a large mirror above the fire place- you could go for something to complement the period of the property and fireplace or something slightly more industrial would work as it looks like you are already mixing contemporary and period with your choices of furniture and finishes. Art will be a huge help as well. Choose some large and smaller pieces to compliment the size of the room- you look like you enjoy your music and media (from the large tv and speakers) maybe some repro or original posters of favourite films? Or framed vinyl covers of you favourite albums. Pick things that you aesthetically connect with. Art is personal and should be something you enjoy every time you look at it, so pick pieces because you like them. It doesn’t need to be expensive. You could also think about a statement clock in the room as well. Lots of options I would say. Do not feel limited by a particular colour scheme with the art- go with things you enjoy looking at. For the sofa -with throws-mimic nature- stick to earthy tones grey browns you can pick up lots of cosy throws in these colours or animal Hyde type colours or actual Hyde’s...and once you have chosen your art- find cushions that are different sizes and textures (not leather) to help soften the look of the sofa and draw the eye away from its shape and on to the cushions! Or go with the nature theme and embrace the animal Hyde’s colours and it will all tie in with the leather. Of course these suggestions depend on personal preference but there are lots of ideas on houzz and pictures that can help with inspiration...hope my suggestions are of use!!...See MoreStonework and door colour
Comments (85)Here's that yellow. I notice for the first time that despite the Dulux colour charts I was told to pick from, the painter has clearly gone off and got some other sort of paint for both stonework and door. Colour is good though so I don't mind. I've done a chair in the leftover yellow too....See MoreStephen

9 years agoIf it is a media room where you will be watching movies you might want to try a little darker color on the walls, something like a dark pale blue. It will make the space a little cozier. I love the idea of the fabric covered foam core. That way you would be consumed by trying to paint the wall behind the cabinets if they are a built-in unit. If you are able to move the cabinets I would suggest painting all walls this pale blue and then adding some accents on the shelves, such as decorative baskets to hold movies, remotes, controllers, ect.
