Decisions decisions - go dark or not?
Comments (20)It looks like a fairly large, light space so I would definitely go for the darker, bolder choice. I also agree with the majority that keeping the arch, but enlarging and squaring it off, might be better and leave you with more flexible spaces (it will also save you money!) If you get rid of the fireplace (which is pretty unispiring) I would make sure you still have some kind of feature there to add impact - console tables with mirrors over them work quite well. The beauty of the darker grey is that you can accessorise with pretty much any colour and it will look cool....See MoreColour decisions
Comments (23)Hello. If you consider your brown sofas as the base. Add to them. Pops of colour are great to give the area more life. Cushions and a throw over the arm if the sofa is in a cosy room for chilling out. Warm colours and lights too. If you go for a blue on the walls, get a range of blues you like (there are cool base blues and warm base blues ) and hang them up around the sofa leave them for a few days because the day/night light and lighting will change the hues / colours. You can change them around specially if one is near a corner and dismiss them as and when. And yes blue and copper does look cosy, good and luscious. Buy a small pot of copper paint and see if that works or a small copper picture frame and place it near the sofa. Have fun....See MoreArghh! Need help with colour decision.

Comments (19)Thanks everyone for your helpful comments - GJ Dee thanks for your compliments we love the handles too! I think we will stick with one large sink, our old kitchen had a 35cm wide sink and no small sink, it was fine but when we needed to wash up our large saucepan which couldn’t go in the dishwasher it was a nightmare because it didn’t fit! Black sink would be nice but would be concerned about limescale as we do get quite a bit! Possibly we might be able to make the sink unit 800mm then can have a big sink then a little sink - will have to check if it fits as we still need a decent amount of circulation room around the island. MATH - I love that splashback! Do you mean have the brass directly behind the hob and then the rest of the wall tiles? I suppose if we use a lighter grout if the tiles are not directly behind the hob it is less likely to get mucky. We were originally going for just brass for the handles as don’t want to overdo the whole brass thing but will have a think about it! Watermark - omg your taps are beautiful! I think we are set on a cheap basic tap for the kitchen but looking for some nice brass taps for the bathroom so will send an enquiry through!...See Moreshkpimblett

Handsome Hallways · More InfoThe colour here is very like the one I have. And , yes they have double connecting doors, hence the headache, we tend to leave the doors open due to the light issue. The teal/emerald are good together. I think sample pots are the next move. Someone suggested a deep, almost dirty pink, hmm mm.

7 years agoDo you mean something like farrow and ball peignoir? I think that could work. Are there any features at all in the dining room where you could use the blue?

7 years agoJust like the Cinder Rose in that range; it has a lovely richness without tending to the Barbie at all. I think it has a similar depth to my blue too,
Here are some pictures, it finally worked. The top two are the corners of the painted room, the second two are the unpainted room and the last is a computer mock up of the room in a pink, what do you think?shkpimblett

7 years agoA colour which may work if the kitchen is staying mushroom is F&b French grey which works with their railings. You could perhaps paint the kitchen door in the dark blue and skirting boards if they exist. I've tried finding pics of rooms opening off living rooms in blue and green just to give you an idea but they're obviously different shades
