Advice on Fence colour please
Q
Comments (5)
Your fencing has a cottage feel so I assume your garden is cottagey? A lot of people are painting fences black or dark grey and it does look good and it gives a more modern feel. I personally wouldn’t paint a fence in too bright a colour as it can be very overwhelming. I really like the deeper sage green colour Wild Thyme as it goes well with nature. The first picture is Wild Thyme. I think the bright colours such as the pink or blue are more for planters and pots or even a shed, rather than a fence. I think taupe shades like Muted Clay and Natural Stone can also look good. In one of the pics below someone has painted their fence in white and it looks lovely against the green planting. It really does depend on how big your garden is and the style of it. Here’s a few ideas.

Dulux paint colour to make a dark North facing room seem bright/cozy
Q
Comments (6)
Hi Kate, You could just embrace the dark side! Some battles are not worth fighting. We have a north facing living room too. One wall is almost entirely glass, but it's still the darkest room in the house. It had a very gloomy feel when we moved in a few years ago and we would have to put the lights on during the day even though it was a bright off white colour, but I've since painted it a dark slate grey. Now it looks great. It has a very cosy feel. I've brightened it up with pops of colour, lighting and mirrors. So sometimes I think its okay to accept that its never going to be a bright room and just add lots of artificial lighting to brighten it up. It also gives you the excuse to try out a deep rich colours which you might never have considered before!

Paint colour matching help!

Ah sorry should have added! Most of the paint shops at the moment are continuing to sell standard paint colours but aren't able to offer the usual paint matching service. If anyone can suggest a decorating centre in East London that is still currently offering Dulux paint matching please do share!

Advice please on new colour for shed and fence
Q

Hi Michal Thanks for your comments.. I would definitely go with the black from the green, it looks much richer and the plants just pop in front of the black. It does not close the garden in at all. As for painting the fence post, I have always painted mine as I don't like the look, I personally think it looks more industrial if they are not painted, also one side of my garden has wooden posts which are painted which I think it would look odd if the other side wasn't. I have always used Cuprinol ducksback, brilliant paint with good coverage. I have so far used nearly three 5L tins of it and have painted 20 panels with two coats. Hope all this helps.
