Comments (11)I’d compromise by ditching the bath - use that space for more clothes storage. The bath is not something that is that useful - and it prevents the use of electric sockets within a 3m radius of it - so person who sleeps the ‘bath’ side of the bed couldn’t charge their phone next to them at night. Also I’d add more storage on opposite side of room to where bath was too....See MorePlease help me pick a colour for my hall, stairs & landing
Comments (15)Well what a coincident! Visited a friend yesterday who is having her hallway, stairs and landing painted on Monday and wanted my advice (!). She has chosen a Karndean style herringbone floor for her hall and a soft check stair carpet in a warm caramel colour. Staircase is oak and glass. Not much natural light in the hall. We looked through loads of paint charts but she didn’t want the expense of F&B or Little G. Then we both felt Dulux Caramel Latte or Caramel Blush would look good. She later bought some matchpots and loves both shades, so she’s having the Latte on one wall and the Blush on the rest. They are lovely warm tones with very appropriate names!...See MorePlease help me make myself look ‘warm’ again!
Comments (11)Post as many photos as you can, it will really help. Colour temperature is not something that we can measure, it is a 'feel' thing so we are all affected by it in different ways. I know I am really affected by it and so could never paint a room with pale blue/grey walls unless it was south facing and made of glass. Interestingly, the trend for grey was really pushed in the industry by the same people who are now pushing warm peachy beige interiors. It's fashion, pure and simple. Another factor is that LED lights (most of which are too yellow or too blue) make cream paint look sickly whereas the old Halogen dichroic lights were very flattering. Many true grey paints are actually blue which can look cold, pure white almost certainly looks and feels cold in rooms starved of natural light. In general there are creamy yellow based neutrals, green/yellow neutrals, cooler green or blue neutrals and taupe neutrals which are usually a bit red or red violet. Avoid anything too yellow with a grey that looks very blue, they will exaggerate each other. Skimming Stone is a good colour as it has a bit of magenta in but can appear warm enough to look pleasing but isn't creamy. I also have grey tiles in my kitchen and dining room where I have painted the walls Joanna by Little Greene which is a very pale taupe. If a room feels flat then a shot of saturated warm colour such as a deep olive can really cut through the grey and warm it up. Another thing to consider is painting the skirting boards the same colour as the wall, it can then just look like a white room that is easy on the eye. This is 'Joanna' in my dining room. Another thing that can help is add as much nutty brown as possible. Brown can be a dirty orange, yellow orange, red and even purple/reds. People say every room needs black, I say every room needs brown. Hope this helps....See MoreJonathan

7 years agoThanks everyone. I will lower the love sign.Minnie, I'm actually changing the paper already. It was supposed to be duck egg but looked more green which I couldn't get used to. Expensive mistake! :( The new paper is the one on the left. Any suggestions for paint colours? I've tried a few dulux testers but none look right. I Think I want a whitish grey.

7 years agoFunnily enough Minnie, I was looking at crown sail white earlier. I might get a tester pot tomorrow. Here's some pics of the kitchen. We Still need handles and all the finishing touches. Oh and the worktops to be fitted but we're getting there!

7 years agoI really like ' white mist' by dulux. It's the biggest swatch on the left. Would that colour go with my sofa etc?
