What should I do with a large white wall in my living room?

sit with the wall for a while, when does it look less bad? u could go for a corbusier one colour wall, ie only primary colour; u could paint the wall a natural earthen colour, like not yet dried plain plaster/terracotta etc., u could do a mirror on it to maximise the light from the window, though i hate windows, u could go cosy with dado rail and colour on one half or picture rail higher up obviously. check out acton town house it has a nice apricot white (it's a similar shaped and sized room); u could check out Tokyo A certain style (it's a book) and go all storage-mad but in a nice Japanese way, not too ikea; also see Muji - this room could be Japanised very nicely; best advice though going back to my first point, is to ignore teh furniture mentallly as u sit in different parts of teh room at different times of teh day, see the book Wabi Sabi for how to do this and the genuine organic results that can arise; where does the sun hit which wall etc. also, just scroll through picture after picture on this sort of website, it educates your eye somehow and you'll see new possibilites. u like scandinavia so check out ikeas different treatments of same room a few brochures back. u could plaster it with black shelving if the wall is a cold north facing wall, wtih colourful books and storage items, being bossy i would say, go for golden sand, one low shelf with dark artifacts archeological style and uplighter (cf other persons idea 'cool floor lamp/lighting' - on this low shelf could be also recharging phone, cool shallow dish, and a changing display of natural items. the wall could equally well be an aqua blue, quite pale, but not arctic, in order to look scandi; theh shelf should be stone or slate or white, not black, or bamboo of course; now once you've done this u can enjoy the wall with changinglight effects from teh window, which would need to be bare but for a black roller blind. the rest of the walls could have warmer treatments to make up for your low level statement wall. have a look at Freud's house in hampstead, it's not scandi, but it is similar type building and also, it has been modernised in some rooms. please show rest of room, state rooms' purpose and let us know how u do it eventually. thanks¬

White living room, which colour curtains to get?
Q

Hi Newbie ! Thanks for email ! So no toddlers and south facing ! Minimal, neat and tidy ... Ok I'd say White curtains with a sheer curtain too in a silver or pale pink, hung behind that could be used separately as a light defuser or as a lining in winter might work ? Simple, Elegant and will help create the illusion of a larger space.

Terrace house hallway. Using Dulux Absolute White plus Atoll colour?

I have these in a couple of the bedrooms to hang bathrobes and such on. They come in black or in white (which I would do on the White door). I love them and think you could probably do two on the door at slightly different heights. Removing the handle and painting the door white, gloss or semi-gloss, whatever you prefer and use in the rest of the home on the woodwork is a good idea. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/small-storage-organisers/hooks-hangers/tjusig-hanger-black-art-80291707/

White colour in a bright North facing room?
Q
Comments (9)
A North facing room can be lighter than a South facing room if it has larger windows, the difference is that the quality of light is different, it is cooler and bluer. This means you can paint a North facing room a cream colour that would read a bit yellowy in a South room and the cool light will counter the creaminess if that makes sense. My son's room is North facing and every colour in it looked dreary and cold. I ended up painting it an ivory colour and it just looks off white.
