Hello Laura, If you really want to keep the room lighter and on the brighter side, then paint the chimney breast and keep the alcoves a brighter colour.. With the addition of a mirror or something over the mantle you can have the blue impact but lightened with a reflective decorative piece that a mirror offers.. One other thing.. Navy is excellent with tan and elements of brass or old gold.. : ))

Hey Lucy, great colour choice , really like it...very like my living room ! I would go for the copper accessories definitely. I would also be inclined to paint the skirting as well. If you have gone for a dark shade, embrace it...don't then try and counter it with white to lighten it up. Be Bold ! I would consider some bright, green hanging plants (faux if needs be due to lack of light) and maybe an illuminated sign? Also the downlighter shade isn't making the most of the room. I would be tempted to choose something more striking or in white wicker to match the mirror or a gorgeous copper paper artichoke shade from Vitra ? The copper wall-mounted baskets would look fabulous against that shade and you can have spare white towels rolled up in one... I would paint the floor as well and then pop a fab patterned mat down... Oliver Bonas have some great ones. Good Luck !!

It looks like a, lovely room Ali. I'm assuming this is an 'after' shot? Did you want to put some 'before' pics up? If so, you can add additional photos as a comment on your own post. Just make sure you wait for the uploaded photos to turn from opaque to make sure they've attached.

Hi Tani. Mmmm. Mixing colours by hand can be tricky in large quantities which is why I suggested taking a small sample of your existing paint first and and seeing how other colours change it. For sampling you can use any acrylic paint (acrylic has similar properties to emulsion) as you’re just trying to identify which colour you need for mixing, could be other tester pots, kids acrylic paints, artists acrylics etc. but when doing the final mix I would use the same brand and finish paint. In theory (and from memory) to make a dark navy blue lighter and warmer you’d need more of a dirty peach colour then add this to the navy at approx 1 part peach to 10 navy then add more if needed. All a matter of trying and testing. Having said all this it may be possible to sell the paint you have now (after all navy is popular atm) and get another colour.
