What color was used in the other rooms beside Alexandria Beige?

4 years ago

I have Alexandria Beige in my kitchen. I’m looking for a color to go with it for my dining room, which is next to my kitchen.

I think the colour you might want to use is based on a couple of things - what is the mood you want to create, how big is the dining room, how high are the ceilings, and what is the natural light. To compliment Manchester Tan, I have used everything from Benjamin Moore Alexandria Beige, to Grant Beige to Revere Pewter (depending on the natural light) to a beautiful almost Aubergine. I think dining rooms should have an intimate feel, regardless of the lighting, but it also depends on whether it is “attached” to the kitchen area, or a separate room and what the homeowner feels and sees. Let me know if I can help further!

How about some wallpaper in the hall? Ours is a long dark hallway and we have used wallpaper on one wall which makes it a much more interesting space, we've had so many compliments on it. I also added a couple of plaster corbels as ours is a Victorian house and I wanted to put some features back. I plan to have a runner on the stairs and a photo wall going up the stairs but I haven't got that far yet!

Make the blinds disappear by painting the window wall the same red. Otherwise they will look a bit 'bitty'. You can also pick up the red with assessories and introduce other colours also with artwork. I think lots of cream or natural linen. IKEA do a lovely striped sofa which has a thin red stripes which would give it a French country feel. Sorry I don't like the brown leather sofa and after reading how leather is mass produced I am now having problems with any leather sofas :(

I love Brandi's 'rainwashed' paint colour. I'd go against a whole carpet in tartan as although it's still on trend presently, trends don't last forever, and replacing a rug is cheap compared to a whole carpet when you're fed up with it. I found a lovely one in Next that i think compliments the whole scheme. next rug It's a lovely thick wool rug, sumptuous !

Yes you can use gray!!! Pick a gray that has a warm, beige undertone, like sand... It will go with cream, it will make your room look warm, and it is gray. Gray is the new neutral. What you need is really good lighting. Meaning, I would have to see a pick, but maybe a floor lamp, a table lamp, etc... It will make the space look, oh, so warm and delicious. Lamp shades should be light cream, possible some beads around, make it fun and give it some movement, to help with the dark space. Get a nice rug, neutral colors, simple design, lots or curves in the design, to warm it up. No angles, that will make it cold. Remember - "dark" for a living room is not so bad. Dark makes one relax and slow down - well, that's what a living room is for. :-)
