Save us from a living room which is a sea of beige
Comments (24)Hi emham, there's nothing wrong with a little beige here and there but too much can certainly 'wash out' the character of a room. Don't feel you have to overcompensate by using bold colours or patterned feature walls; it may feel dated within a few years and we humans get bored quickly so giving a room the flexibility to change every six to 12 months without a great deal of expense will give you much more satisfaction. If you are set on painting the walls then perhaps consider an 'antique' or 'off-white'; with good ambient lighting I find these are always the warmest colours. If you're going to go bold then keep the upper part white above the picture rail, its less oppressive on the mind! Gloss the woodwork, freshen u[p the plaster covings and let the period features speak for themselves. For a real burst of colour hang paintings, add textured cushions and throws on the furniture and add a bit of natural warmth with plants .. lots of green plants. A 'soft' central feature light with the correct energy efficient lighting can change the room's ambiance, along with wall lights, table and floor lamps. Depending on your budget, you could strip the carpet back and hope for a wooden floor beneath, but if you haven't the time or budget for installing a reclaimed wood floor, adding a colourful rug over the top of your carpet will do just as well and you could always replace the fabric window blinds with natural wooden shutters for that natural wood feel. You may also consider re-installing the Victorian fireplace! Keep creative and have fun....See Morewhich paint colour for the living room?

Comments (2)You don't want to add very stark contrasts (like dark blue) only, that will not help. Softer colours and wood will add warmth. Art and items that you've chosen with care, items that you love, will add personality. Could you share photos of the living room? We can perhaps give you more to the point ideas then. If you love dark blue and want to add that colour, you need another colour as a 'bridge' to soften it. In this room the wooden floor, the light grey and the golden yellow touches make it less stark: Here the natural items and the patterns make it less cold...See MoreLiving room colours for beige carpet?
Comments (3)Hi Jenny, thank you for your response. Your house has a very great potential and working with colours for your furniture is an amazing opportunity to express your creativeness! Considering that the colour choice of your carpet is a light one, I would play with dark shades (for the sofa, for example) giving your interiors an innovative and artistic feel, I would go for deep blues, royal green or an elegant scarlet . Should you wish to get a more in-depth consultation, I would love to offer you one of my packages.
