Beadboard ceiling

7 years ago

Does it matter if beadboard is applied long ways or crossways in a small beach condo? It is 453 Sq ft the main area is rectangular. Thanks so much. Sue

Hello Sue and apologies for not replying sooner. This is a personal preference when walking into a room and how your eye will follow that pattern. In this particular case the builder chose the direction and it worked great in the room.

I had a similar situation in a house I moved into years ago. I did a quick fix of painting all of the walls, woodword and the cupboards the same shade of cream. Sounds a bit OTT but it really knocked back the cupboards, which in all honesty are not something you want to make a feature out of, and created a calmness to the whole space. In your case, I would go for an off white so that the gang plug wires, radiator pipes and covers hiding the wires for the extractor fan etc., are disguised as much as possible -- that will tie in with the palest of the tiles in the splash back, and then you will have a pretty basic colour scheme of a very place colour and the dark worktop, fireplace and floor, which will stand out more. I think you need more storage with doors -- that bookshelf isn't doing anything for the kitchen. If you could get something in there that could hide lots of clutter -- even if just something cheap from IKEA, that would help greatly. Or work something around the filing cabinet that you have? A huge cheap mirror over the fireplace would bounce some light around too. If you don't want to go for undercupboard lighting, and if you have enough plug points, how about some lamps on the worktop, especially at the FF end with a floor standing lamp at the end with the chair. For the table, I would go for a table cloth and reupholster the chairs if they are not to your taste. A new blind in a much fresher colour would be great. Depending on the colour of your filing cabinet (if you use it), I think a petrol blue could add a nice vintage vibe to the chimney breast, and make more of a feature of it. I would try and go down a vintage/slightly industrial route rather than country. You may have some stuff lurking around that you could use, once you have got the base colours right -- currently it just feels a little cluttered and a bit of a mish mash. Best of luck. Looking forward to seeing some after shots :)

Hiya! Ah it’s still chucking me out every time I reach your window shutters post, too ridiculous! I’m using the app. Glad it’s letting me post but you know how I love to re-read and look at suggestions again.... I’ll contact Houzz, and jump on dh’s lap top tomorrow. Ordered lights in Black Friday sale, much as you suggested, simple elegant and understated. Electrician and Kevin coming tomorrow afternoon. Will update asap! xxx

wevet , strong white or slaked lime 105

Loft is from a similar spot to All White and is likely to read quite similar. Shirting is just a tiny touch darker. Slaked Lime is darker again and looks very pretty in abundant lighting but sometimes it may feel a little greyed in a more dimly lit space. Stock is too dark and too colourful to be classed as a white or off-white. In may appear a warm near neutral in some settings and you may see a degree of greenness in others. Julie’s Dream is from the Yellow-Red Hue Family. ItIt’s both too dark and colourful to be considered a white or off-white. You are likely to read it with a peachy pinkness in relatively balanced lighting.
