Comments (43)I think your instinct is spot on - the grey does not go with your lovely house at all! You said yourself, 'the grey craze', why follow the herd? Perhaps you should question why you want a 'contemporary colour' instead of one of the many choices which will enhance your beautiful period house. You don't see lovely pink Suffolk cottages, or the black and white half timbered houses characteristic of some areas daubed with grey because it's the latest fad....See MoreWhat colour should i paint my summer house?
Comments (9)You can colour stain the roof as well (assuming it is wood or cedar shingle). I have done this in a previous house but because it is the roof it won't last as long as the outside walls. Therefore I recommend that if you use a garden shade (don't use standard paint because the end finish will look poor) on the roof you should choose a shade of brown- personally I would try to go a little lighter than the current colour. The roof colour in my opinion dictates what you can do on the walls. I painted my shed black which was a good contrast to some lime green planting and the inside which I painted ivory. But I also think Caroline's recommendation for pale green is nice....See MoreWhat colour should I paint my kitchen?!
Comments (19)It sounds like you have plenty of natural light coming in so should be fine with most things. I think the blue all over would be a little too much with north light - making it feel a little cool. I would go with the suggested half and half which will also lift the height a making it feel more open. With the blue itself I would try to go for something with as warm an undertone as possible.. same with any whites you choose. If they have blue or grey undertones they will feel a look more drab with the specific light that's hitting them. It sounds like you're going to have a fab space! :)...See Moreshould I paint coffee table and cabinet??
Comments (16)I was once told that you shouldn’t have more than 2 types of wood in only one space. The floor looks lovely and I’d be tempted to paint all the wooden furniture so that they read as a matching set. Rather than make them a ‘feature’ with a bright coloured paint, I’d push them into the background using a white wooden stain or antique white cracked paint. Add a toughened glass top to help reflect daylight giving protecting to the paint. If budget allowed, I’d be tempted to invest in a neutral coloured rug bringing more daylight into the room. It could be look very sophisticated!...See MoreT Gray
