Link get rooms - North east and west facing

7 years ago

I have a L-shaped series of interlinking rooms all open plan. The bright light NW facing kitchen has units painted in F & B White Tie and a cupboard in a grey-blue and The kitchen opens up into a N & NE facing dining room with an exposed wall of deep ochre toned bricks. This room has plenty of light from patio doors and a side window. This room has an large open archway into the living room which borrows light from the dining room but only has a tiny E facing window so most of the day we have the lights on in here. In the living room we have an oatmeal linen sofa which I recently had covered so it has to stay. The wood burner is in an opening with a heading of the same brick as the dining room wall. White Tie looks too yellow against the sofa so I am going round in circles trying to think of paint colours to link the rooms. Can't have Dulux or Crown paints so am limited to little greene, F & B or Earthborn - any suggestions? i am not a fan of grey but maybe a warm grey might be acceptable in the LR?

At the moment the kitchen walls are F&B New White which is ok but not suitable for the adjacent rooms as it is too yellow looking as I need to take the oatmeal sofa in the living room into consideration. The three rooms lead into each other and are open plan to each other. The living room is the darkest and the others have good light. Kitchen is to the left of dining room and living room is behind dining room. The house is cottage style but no beams

We used white cotton in our north facing room which is lovely and light but not as strong as brilliant white. Skimming stone and cornforth white are also lovely shades but a bit more to them than just a standard white. We always paint a tester in the room we're going to decorate, as its amazing how a grey can look like it has hints of lilac in a different light. Also allows you to check it doesn't clash with the flooring colour (a friend of mine recently had decorators in only to realise after the walls didn't compliment the carpet). Good luck on your project.

After waiting 2 weeks from January order of oak window sill, ledge shelves and flat shelves that arrived 4 months later, then another month for fitter to find half a day to fit us in... TOMORROW'S THE DAY. And we're ready. Might even get some 'after' photos on here.

Hello Colour Happy, Thank you so very much for commenting on my post. We are leaving the woodwork skimming stone as we have it throughout the house and all internal doors are skimming stone too, it actually looks less cold in the nursery for some reason, I’m not sure why? I would love to go for a very light taupe, as that’s what the skimming stone looks like in the natural light. I’ve taken some more pictures. We only have a local paint shop open so are fairly limited to what we can get at the minute due to the lock down as we’d rather sample it first. I’m thinking we may just choose a Dulux colour incase we hate it and then we’ve not wasted a fortune on farrow and ball. We will only be painting the two plastered walls. I love the idea of a striped carpet, I may look at cancelling our order and have a look into this. I have to avoid loops due to a naughty Persian cat! I love buff wicker and we are planning on ordering a huge wicker toy box, I think this will add texture and a bit of warmth too and match his Moses basket. Although I am sat in here now, the room doesn’t feel too bad although it’s very white his taupe furniture warms it up. The cot matches the linen and the colour on the chair too. I’m still so confused! Love the idea of a painted ceiling but we don’t fancy going up there at the min! I’d love to paper one wall and I’d picked the b and q watering hole paper in the cream but it’s out of stock now. Thanks so much for all your advice. Xx
