Changing the wall paper due to new sofa
Comments (8)If your going to stick with block paint I'd go for a pastel colour rather than white as none of the sofa is stark white so may make it look discoloured which it obviously isn't as its a new sofa but you know what I mean. I'd pick up the green personally. There's always the option of off white pain and pick up a colour from the sofa in your accessories (curtains, lamp, light shades etc)...See MoreDownstairs cloakroom - which wall or walls should I paper?
Comments (5)Hi, This is a lovely little room, the mirror works really well and the shape gives the space interest. I think this is the paper your looking at: Everyone will advise you differently but this is how I would do it. I would use the paper on the mirror wall only. The mirror would look fabulous against this paper ! Make sure you add a little glass back panel directly behind the sink to protect the paper from splashes. There are two shades of grey in wall paper design, use these as your other wall colours (Use Farrow & Ball) Put the darker grey on the window wall to pull your eye as you enter and the lighter grey on the rear wall opposite the sink to keep the room light. Skirting, door, architraves in eggshell white and ceiling in matt white. As with the grey, use F&B paint for the white, it has a chalky tonal value which will soften the effect. Sincere apologies if you have just put the curtain up, its lovely but a full length curtain picking up the yellows with a perspex pole would transform the room.. Another trick I like to use is to put a white plantation shutter into the window which would be framed by the new curtain. This punches the white onto this wall tying it in with the sanitary ware colours. A small detail but if you kept the silver framed picture and replaced the mount with a yellow to match the paper this would look beautiful off a grey wall. Those are my thoughts, hope this helps. Regardless of what you do please post a picture of the finished room, be really interesting to see what you do.

Comments (10)Thanks all. 1. A carpenter/fitter is coming around on Sat for the kitchen - I'll ask him for a quote for this too. In the meantime, I've been googling/thinking, and saw this from IKEA: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/washstands-taps/wash-stands/fullen-wash-basin-cabinet-white-art-70189041/ (& pale green countertop: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/washstands-taps/wash-stands/viskan-countertop-pale-green-art-70354804) I just need to remove a slice of the base at the rear for it to be level with the top of the basin. Hope that doesn't look weird. 2. Will paint the door frame - satinwood or similar. Easy one, that. :) 3./4. Will look at the navy/teal/dark grey wallpapers and paint. I think a combination of them may look really good. Have requested some samples - just waiting for them to arrive now! Great. Can't wait to get going now....See More

7 years agoNice to have a complete change! As you like all the browns, i'd go for an uplifted colour on the floor, a nice warm oak and maybe carpet in a 'digestive biscuit' colour or runner for the stairs. Harvest Berber Twist is a fabulous carpet with lots of little bitty colours to work with in it, especially the browns that you love. Harvest Berber
I'd go for a feature wall maybe in a shade of dark brown that you love, but keep all the rest a more neutral tone. It will give a more modern look. I can't see the curtains too well as the picture is quite dark , but they look a cream tone, so should go well with the whole theme!
