Pink recommendations please

5 days ago

Hi,

I would like to paint the alcove in our dining room a dusky pink, I have samples of FB Skimming Stone (bottom) and Valspars An Unfound Door but they look a bit purple to my eye. There is light from east and west facing windows.

Anyone have any experience with these colours or recommendations for a dusky pink please.? I’d considered dead salmon also but don’t think it would work with our kitchen units.

The room is part of an open plan kitchen lounge diner and so I’d like the space to flow.

We like Little Green paint, as the colours are deep and the paint coverage is good.

https://www.littlegreene.com/paint/colour/red-and-pink-paint/hellebore - Hellebore might be worth while considering, as the alcove doesn't have direct south light, it might give the pink blush effect you are after.

You could also try the Dulux Visualizer. This app is so much fun and you can test out the colours you are considering!

Are Ikea PAX really 'fitted wardrobes'? Recommendations please...

Bespoke joinery is always better to achieve maximum of storage from space you got. However with PAX there is option to match up for saving cost, however you are limited to size, if you got 190cm you need to fit 150cm and have covering panels. We did in few houses to get lower cost build in units, that we put it in PAX wardrobes and we made bespoke side panels and framing, skirting so when you close them it looks like bespoke, where inside is still IKEA.

We are building a new home, have planning, have chosen our contractor but are in two minds - get a contract administrator or not. We have been quoted between £8k and £10k for monthly certifications, the odd architects instruction for variations to the contract, monthly inspections, the odd bit of design work and coordination as it crops up. We are already on a v tight budget so would rather not but feel with our lack of building experience it is probably good practise? Or if we keep a close eye on everything can we do the same job and save ourselves a decent wedge of cash?

Hi sorry I have been away for a while. Our house is being built from scratch and overall a contemporary look I would say. However The stairs will have carpet but not sure about anything else like banister etc. Would live steel, just not the traditional wood but it seems very expensive.

I agree they do look more purple than pink. I’ve not used it, but F&B Calamine looks rather lovely. I quite like the ochre colour you currently have. Here‘s Calamine

Sonia, I will have a look at that colour it’s not one I’d noticed before. I like the ochre too but find it a bit harsh too look at front the kitchen. I think the right pink will be more calming.

What are you going to put on the wall? Sometimes that is a good way to choose a colour.

I haven’t thought that far ahead but we’re planning on having a 1960s retro sideboard in the alcove, possibly with large picture above. We’ll probably also change the lampshade and are definitely getting a new dining table and chairs (not chosen yet) but table will be a similar style to what we have already but larger. Essentially, we’re aiming to recreate the feel that the farrow and ball image has for sulking room pink, which feels relaxing vintage.
