Hello,

The woodwork paint colour is Green Smoke by Farrow & Ball.

Thanks,

Trevor

built in same colour as walls or woodwork?

You certainly have the height to carry such a look but I wonder whether you would lose the definition in some of that beautiful cornice? I like ceilings painted the same colour as the walls. I considered one shade lighter (ie ammonite) to have a slight contrast. You could also paint the cornice white and the ceiling cornforth but I think that is a more traditional look. On balance my favourite would be the cornice and ceiling painted one shade lighter. What have you done in the rest of the house with the ceilings?

If you close the door and stand in the dining room you would paint the frame and door the same colour as the rest of the woodwork in the dining room (colour A). Then in the hallway you paint the door and frame the colour chosen for woodwork in the hallway (colour B). On the side of the door where the latch is this would be painted colour A if the door opens into the dining room. Hope that makes sense!

How did you go about choosing a colour scheme?

I think it needn’t be that difficult. Get a colour chart from be manufacturer- I like Farrow and Ball. Then choose 3 or 4 neutrals. Consider if you want yellow, green, grey, blue or red undertones and then stick to the decision. For instance I like a grey undertone as I feel it is more contemporary and would consider All White, Strong White and Cornforth White. Then choose a stronger colour you like- I like pigeon. Then choose a deep colour - I like Downpipe. In my opinion you then have a palate to decorate with- use these colours again and again an different rooms in different quantities- so I might paint walls Cornforth White, ceilings Strong White and woodwork and coving in All White. In the next room I might use pigeon on the wall or keep the neural scheme but paint a feature wall in Downpipe. If there are any attic bedrooms then I would keep to the All White woodwork and then paint the walls and ceiling with All White or Strong white. If the bathroom is mainly tiles I might paint the walls Downpipe as a strong colour helps make a small space look more sophisticated when used with restraint. But colour is also subjective so you must choose something you like. I do however feel that if you repeat a colour again and again in a house you get a feeling of continuity, the property feels bigger, decorating is easier and in fairness the light affects it from one room to the next so rarely looks exactly the same

Hi Ellie I actually have been thinking the same. We are not 100% sure if we would be able to do the kitchen next year but the idea of planning the colours and how they flow from one room to the other is very wise and maybe the hallway should actually be last room to be decorated. We know once we do our kitchen we will need to replace the hallway floor as it’s the same as our dining room so lots to consider really. I think what we might end up doing is just to get a Neutral colour from Dulux for example and freshen it up a bit. There are parts where the paint has been peeled due to the use of a stairgate so it needs paining now anyway but like you said, maybe not to use an expensive paint or do a dramatic change until the extension is finished. Thanks for your comment and help. ☺️
