My pleasure. That's what I mean, it looks like mid-grey in the second picture attached.

A warmer grey for the walls could work better than a darker one in your case. There are a lot of pictures that you can find on Houzz. This one looked nice.

howabout this shade of grey on the walls? any idea what it is?

I think your carpet will be fine, once you have got over the shock of things. What do you think to this. You don't have to paint every wall grey but I think having white paintwork and ceiling helps break up the colours and keeps it crisp.

Great minds......do it !

It sounds like to me you have decided to paint it dark grey and just want someone to agree with you .. I agree with the others a lighter shade of grey would work better ... Paint one wall a lighter grey and then decide as you can always paint over again in a darker shade?

I'd go for a darker grey on the to tv wall, make it a feature and a warm pale grey on the other walls. Think different tones of the same colour.Perhaps add some teal or orange accessories? What colour is the suite?

I'd paint over with cheaper white paint first this will give you a better idea of what it will look like and make a good base for the grey, personally I would go for a light gray on 3 walls and a darker gray on one just to give a little accent possibly the wall you lookout when sitting looking at the TV.

I love what you have achieved. It is so professional and classy. Well done, you certainly have an eye for design. Maybe take on board some of the comments and change walls, I think you will love it. Super taste. Can't wait to see what you decide. Love the dark furniture. Good luck. I have so got living room envy.

Hello,

I'd listen to these good people and not go for a dark grey as might want to hurt someone eventually.

Farrow and Ball have great colours which both Dulux and Leyland can mix for you in different finishes for a LOT cheaper. I personally went with their Diamond Matt finish as my nephews have given the walls a good beating.

Take a staggered approach.

Start with the lightest grey: Ammonite

Next comes Cornforth White which is slightly darker than Ammonite. It has a slightly blue tinge to it which I wasn't a fan of.

Darker still is Purbeck Stone but again I wasn't a fan as it lacked the warmth I was looking for.

or Go Warm Greys:

Light Beigey Grey is Skimming Stone I'd pick this for you as have a LOT of dark going on.

Darker but still warm is Elephant's Breath. This is what I'd go for if you're STILL set on going for a dark grey. If you do go dark, for God's sake lighten it up with accents so you don't get depression.

Get samples and paint on foam boards. You can get A4 foam boards on ebay for cheap.

Good luck and pictures when you are done please.

How much do you charge Andy? Cos my premodonna painters took forever and still couldn't touch to save their lives! Congrats on finishing

As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters. Congrats

You sound very happy with the result now, enjoy all your hard work.

I need some help guys- I have opted for a dark charcoal carpet(looks like black) and I don’t want to keep white walls, what colour would best suit...I want the room to have a warm cosy feel too
