What colour should I paint bedroom fireplace and wardrobes?
What colour should I paint the fireplace and bedroom wardrobes. All the woodwork is white so would cream work. And should wardrobe and fireplace be the same colour?

What colour should I do the three remaining walls of my bedroom?
Comments (18)Hi Kathryn I have a range of 200 colours that we can choose from and you can test without having to buy test pots. If you are near enough I could bring them over - I'm based in Cambridgeshire and travel throughout the county and adjoining counties. Let me know if you are in my patch and we can organise a visit....See MoreWhat colour for Bedroom Walls and Fireplace surround ?
Comments (4)Hello cubacuba, When painting a room one colour it's advisable to consider variations on a theme.. So all woodwork a shade lighter or darker than wall colour. It makes for a more interesting scheme. In addition you can layer the furnishings in the same way and add textures... This is what will give the room some depth.. Repeat the scheme for the bed too with layered cushions and throws to compliment the room and complete the scheme.. :))...See MoreMaster bedroom - built in wardrobe layout
Comments (29)Hi Laura Yes, take a peek on my home page at the project there. This is one I did for him. As the wardrobes were already fitted, I used "cubby storage which has bins for his jeans etc. There are also further boxes to store pjs etc. When it comes to using bins or boxes to store clothes, I would advise not using anything that stacks - always go for drawers or one bin/box per cubby. If you have to move one box to get to another then it becomes a bit of a trial and things tend to become untidy quickly. thanks Jill...See MoreDeco bedroom- wardrobe ideas
Comments (23)Hi Jo. Love your scheme I think it will look gorgeous! Personally I think a bit of real wood would look great against the blue and add a natural element (need to be a bit careful against the pink though!). I saw this pair of beauties in a charity shop, probably not quite right but I think it would be worth following your instincts and holding out for what you wanted rather than going for second best. Everyone is in such a hurry to have everything finished and perfect immediately but a house, style and furniture evolve over time, so if you can be patient and deal with clothes elsewhere for a bit you may get your dream cupboards! Good luck and happy hunting...See More

7 years agoHi,
Your room looks exactly like mine before we painted it! I just thought you might like to see what it will look like with the wardrobes and fireplace painted pure white. The wall behind is F&B Cornforth White. I have found that if you have dark walls then an off white flows better but with pale or mid tones then you can't go wrong with brilliant white. If you are using oil based paint then it will yellow slightly over time anyway. Sorry a bad shot but it was taken in the evening but might give you an impression of what you do or don't like. x Lottie

7 years agoKeep the wardrobes the same colour as the walls otherwise they will be to dominant. I'd then paint the fireplace white to make it the eye catching feature. The image has a different layout to your room but it illustrates the point ...I hope!

7 years agoYou can add different colours into the overall scheme with the curtains, headboard and cushions/throw for the bed, this will dilute the blueness. If you go for a couple of shades lighter on the wardrobes it would be best to mix a whitened down version of the walls...and don't go too light! Here's a pic in reference to adding to the colour palette, same room as before.

Hi Nicola, if you want my advise I would suggest painting the wardrobes the same colour as the walls so they blend in, and the fireplace which could be a real feature a dark grey for example Farrow and Ball - Downpipe. In this picture the walls are Farrow and Ball Lamp Room Grey and the fireplace Downpipe.Good Luck. Elaine @ Property Facelift
