Paint the skirting board & door frames the same as the walls? Y/N
Comments (12)Thanks for reply. Your room looks lovely! I'm looking for a warm grey for my West facing bedroom and have tried so many different ones but none seem quite right. Think I may have to try Purbeck Stone although Farrow and Ball might be a bit expensive for me!...See MoreDark grey feature wall - help & opinions
Comments (23)If you are considering going down the dark grey routes, have a look at the paint range by Paint Library or Little Greene Paint Company rather than Farrow and Ball. They both have a much broader range of greys to choose from and you will be able to find a grey with an undertone that works with the rest of your scheme. You can order the colours charts from their websites or from http://www.designerpaint.com/ As you have a brown sofa I would look towards a grey that has some softness from a touch of brown in it. A personal favourite is Paint Library's Monument. It comes out much darker than the colour on their website, but has a softness that I don't think Downpipe does. Also look at Little Greene's French Grey. Having said all that, I think Dabrovska Design's idea of picking up on the jadey green you have in your room from your cushions is lovely. As for where to put the colour, I think the composition of your sideboard would benefit from a strong colour behind it. However, your sofa also looks a bit lost on the pale wall. You could solve all of this through a tonal scheme...the very dark behind the sideboard and the rest of the walls in the palest version of the same colour. Again both Paint Library and Little Greene do 'colour scale' which make these choices very easy for you. You clearly love styling, so I am sure once you pick a couple of new wall colours you will have no trouble tying the whole space together very well....See Moreblack, dark grey or navy paint?
Comments (6)Thank you both for replying. Yes Minnie101 you have the photos the right way round and that is the AA, good spot! I've just painted some AA & Bowler Hat on the wall, once it's dry I'll add it to the post as that really isn't the best photo you're right. Yes the eclectic design will have a lot of colour, I have a dark red (very close to ox blood in colour) leather sofa which would stay for that scheme and I'm thinking of adding lots more colour with artwork from artists like Patrice Murciano like the one here & adding the exact rug here which will cover most of the floor....See MoreDark grey feature wall?
Comments (20)Have you got large testers on all walls? I'd see how they change in the different lights. Cornforth can be a little chilly although it's a lovely grey. If these don't work have a look at shaded white. The colour online is nothing like the colour chart if you happen to have one!...See More

4 years agoI think white would look fab with the navy. If you ensure you use a primer on the door I think it would work, but then I’m no expert! Looks so crisp and clean. I’m a great fan of white woodwork.
