Paint colour for dinning room
Hi, I need some help selecting the right wall colour for our dining room please.
The room measures 3.6m x 3.8m and the floor to ceiling height is 2.35m.
The room has good natural light well lit by 1.85m patio doors.
The ceiling and coving are painted white as are the skirting boards, 2 doors and the panel radiator.
The floor is Karndean light oak. The sideboard, table and chairs are mango wood (Baker Flagstone).
The wall and ceiling lights are Impex Avignon in gold
Given the brown floor and brown furniture and gold lights, what are good colour(s) ideas for the room please.
Thanks

Comments (10)Hello headers13, Looking nice! Not much of a mess at all! Normally I'd suggest the idea of dark chimney breast and lighter walls.. Since you have dark cabinets going in then perhaps consider the other way around.. Usually alcoves are better lighter as they then look further away.. Chimney breast to the fore.. Standing out with a beautiful mirror.... I normally don't recommend shelving in alcoves either.. Just a personal taste.. However.... What about approaching it with the idea of scale colouring.. with dark at bottom and working it's way lighter up the shelves.... So you could have dark chimney breast and dark bottom shelves and gradually take the shades up till you get to a creamy white at the top... Ceilings are really gr8 in Whitening by Little Greene.. It would give it a different feel and this style of painting is really in.... You can do it with walls too, see image... Also to lighten the look of the shelving... consider darker and fuller shelves at the bottom and lighten towards the top... This creates the idea of openness with the shelving, thus giving the fireplace the focal point it deserves... : ))...See MoreSitting Room Paint Colour Choice
Comments (20)Thanks Colour Happy. Plasterer has been in already but only plastered where needed so I'm assuming that means we don't need to plaster behind wall paper (some of which had to be removed for the rewiring) and Painter seems happy enough to do remainder of filling/smoothing walls but thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check again with them. Re sisal, no dogs but small kids at home so need to stick to softer/more standard carpet!...See MoreNeed help with paint colours for living room
Comments (20)Ha, funnily enough I tried some colours out on your walls in photoshop yesterday, which doesn't mean a thing, since it always looks different on screen, and I too thought that Ammonite worked well. Still, do try it out. Painted the skirting All White. Threw in some pattern with cushions, a framed poster will reflect light and is more interesting than a mirror (which loads of people use) and I thought that you could perhaps place a different cabinet for the TV along the wall next to the fireplace....See Moreliving room and dinning room combination
Comments (6)Hi Sue, you have some nice space to work with. One thing I noticed straight away was that you have used navy as your primary colour in this room, navy often works best as a secondary colour. It may be worth replacing your rug with something more neutral, a textured grey rug would look nice. I've attached an image below of a living room also using navy blue sofas paired with a greyish rug and it makes a huge difference. Adding a small coffee table would then help fill that space in the middle and make the room feel more cosy. Finally I've noticed some curtains in the background, changing these out for some wooden venetian blinds would really help bring the room together (you can go for faux wood blinds which are cheaper and look near identical to real wood). I believe by making these changes it will really give your room a stylish and timeless feel and "make your space come to life" as you say. Here's a great selection of faux wood blinds - https://www.makemyblinds.co.uk/wooden-blinds/faux-wood-blinds/...See More
