Comments (14)Hi Emma. For a long narrow room (relatively speaking as it isn't narrow!), you could paint the 2 short walls the dark colour as this will "correct" the room's proportions rather than paint the long wall as it will accentuate the length. Alternatively you'd normally paint the fireplace wall to highlight the feature. I think as you've got doors it should break it up a bit but I'd do the doors in the same colour. I would probably go for something a bit richer than pitch blue, like Hague blue. I know whose room that is you've pictured in the 2nd pic so will try and find the colour but am sure it was a valspar paint! You could also try downpipe which works well in a north facing room. I'd probably put these with warm whites/neutrals rather than grey. Elephants breath can work really well in a north facing room but can also just look grey and agree with littlesongs comments! You could also go dark on all walls and layer the lighting, add mirrors etc. Or if you decide light then people can make colour suggestions for that :)...See MorePaint colour advice
Comments (9)Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I’m sure ideally, we’d wait for everything to be in before painting, but we’re on builder’s schedule and I figure if we make a terrible mistake, it’s only paint and can be fixed if necessary (tho hopefully not!!). I’m really happy to paint one wall Stiffkey Blue along the kitchen wall. I think it will balance out fine (another pic of kitchen design shows relationship between island and back wall). My conundrum is what colour to use on the other main walls. And given it’s such a big space, will it look ok to have the wall at ‘lounge’ end in an accent colour? Don’t want it to look patchwork! I’m thinking perhaps Jitney as main colour for the other walls, will complement London Stone cabinets the Stiffkey Blue - also looks lush with walnutty floor. And perhaps Mouse’s Back as accent wall on ‘lounge’ to make it more cosy, for evenings. Anyone got experience of advice of using these colours? Or any other advice? Thank you!...See More
