Hi Patricia, I come across this problem a lot, I match the colour samples in the studio and they work perfectly. When we take them to site the lighting in the room totally changes the look of the colour pallets we chose. Lesson one for us, "always" put the colour samples in the room before agreeing them with the client. Lighting is the single most important factor with pastel colours. If its a north facing room colours will always look dull. Due to the position of the window the units under the window will always be in shadow which neutralises the blue tones and brings out the grey. Two ways of approaching this. 1 Re paint with a stronger blue to offset the neutralising effects of the lighting. 2 Change the lighting. Put an extension into the room and get a few different lights, LED warm white, Soft white, brilliant while etc. Look at the effects in the day and in the evening. When you find the light source that brings out the blue tones use that on all the lights in the room... With regards to colour on the walls, at the risk of being boring I always go white. When you put white up against a pastel colour the pastel shades really pop out. When you put another colour in it alters / distracts from the pastel. Hope that helps, Martin: www.angel-martin.com

Hi. I would probably just paper one wall. What's opposite the window wall? I don't know what colour sofas you're having but you could either pick a pale grey or white for the walls to pick up the colours in the paper or look at pale'ish neutrals such as clay, greige, taupe, etc. I've had a south facing pale blue living room before with an oak floor and it worked well if you wanted to stick with the blue. You can just add a warm accent colour for accessories but your floor will warm it anyway

Hi! I would use a Color Muse to measure the colour attributes of your flagged floor and then choose a colour, which relates to the hue family to which the flooring belongs. Then all you need decide, is whether you prefer the wall colour to be darker or lighter, but knowing that it will coordinate with the flagged floor.

It’s the wrong wall, as the room is relatively narrow it accentuates the length. Do you have to have a feature wall? You could use the green all over. Or alternatively if you paint the two short end walls in the green and keep the others very light it should make the room feel wider. That could work well if you’re having a white desk against the short wall too
