bedroom renovation .. what colour suits the best on these walls?
Comments (2)Hi Purna! Do you have furniture for this space already? If so, what's the main colour theme?...See MoreClaret 3 piece suite , light grey carpet , what colour walls please
Comments (8)Sorry to not get back before now, decorating myself! OK, so there is definitely a lady there and definitely doesn't want grey walls. With the added information that the curtains are claret with gold streaks, I would say - go for the gold then. Also if you have some pine furniture, this makes total sense. If you look at the photo I included (and sure you can google for others) the floor is golden and wall grey, so just reverse things, wall gold tone and carpet grey. You can get some test pots and try out against the curtains to see if picks up at slight gold, but still goes with the claret and grey. Only trying these out will tell you how light or dark or bright or muted gold to go. I would advise putting two coats on a large piece of paper at least A3 and then taping that to wall, this is better as done on white so shows the true colour tone, plus and you can move it around and even better, not have to paint it out afterwards! Try looking at these samples in different lights at different times of day, with lamps on only, overhead lights only etc. I think you have the basis for a really good scheme. I would agree with adding texture in cushions etc (at later stage) make you can take them back to store and keep tags on until you're absolutely sure, you really need to try stuff in situ to make sure it works in your setting. About white - looks fine in brightly lit spaces in full lighting, like well lit bathrooms and kitchens, not so good in pokey corners or rooms with any shadows at all. Can be very hard and cold, even clinical in many Northern European rooms, especially in winter!...See MoreWhat's the best design for an en-suite?
Comments (0)I want to build an en-suite opening up the wall between the master bedroom (left bottom) and the smaller bedroom on the top left. I'm thinking I could use the rest of the room as a walk in wardrobe. Any ideas as to the best design please?...See MoreWhat style would best suit this property?
Comments (1)You could go for leaded windows but they can look a bit dark. We have looked at two options for you: changing the door to a traditional vertically boarded oak door and having matching oak double glazed windows. We have used Georgian bars instead of cottage bars to let more light in. For a full matching look you may want to change the fascias too. Or to really lift the house we have looked at a six panelled glazed wooden door painted in a blue grey. We have added matching timber double glazed windows with a horizontal glazing bar to let in even more light. we think this looks great against the brick colour and works will with the existing white on the house. Good luck with your project, please post some photos when it's finished so we can see what you decided on....See More
