Design Dilemma Paint Bedrooms

Does F&B Theresas green go with this carpet colour?

last month

Sorry it’s not a great image but I was just trying to decide if Farrow & Ball Theresas Green goes with this grey carpet?? Or is there a colour I could paint the skirtings etc to make it work perhaps?

Many thanks for any input.

I have Teresa's Green walls in my bedroom with a beige carpet and a grey bedspread/light shades etc. I love it. Hope that helps.

I think your carpet is possibly from the Yellow Hue Family and Teresa’s Green is from the Green Hue Family.

There is a connection, but pulling a colour from the same Hue Family neighbourhood as your carpet may make the visual link even stronger.

(top colours just to show colours from the Yellow Hue Family near the carpet)

I don't think it's a great match. If you want a greenish colour, I think I'd prefer French Gray (the white is F&B Clunch). But not sure whether that'll go with the furniture/furnishings in the room?

I have used "peaceful panorama " from Valspar. It is more muted and "dirty" than Stiffkey. My front room is naturally quite dark, and maybe that affected the colour of stiffkey blue. You might want to get a sample (homebase does F&B) and try in your room... The colour might come out lovely!! I agree with you though, dark blues and copper look stunning! Good luck with your choice!

Thank you all for your input. I need to perfect the art of closing one eye to block out other colours! I was not good at this! I think you need bigger sample cards than I used. I couldn't paint on the wall as there's currently wallpaper there. My local F&B stockist suggested Shaded White which is a nice, "safe" neutral I think and as the room is quite dark, it seems to work better than the greyer shades I was trying. I guess sometimes what you want is different from what will actually work best and Shaded White seems a good compromise. I'm delighted to have got input from you and I'll post some pictures later of items I'm considering using in the room in the hope of some more advice.

Hello! It’s arrived but is being fitted Monday :0) The colour wasn’t quite what I wanted as although it’s not supposed to have any blue in it, if can look blue in some lights. I don’t mind it looking deep navy but sometimes it looks lighter. Will see when it’s all up though as with the worktop on the island and overhang, it will probably just look more black! Bear in mind the company didn’t use actually F&B paints as they mix their own. Definately advises paying for a test door first as they got the colour totally wrong at first (was bright blue!) and it was hard work getting the manufacturers to check it and do it again. They almost didn’t.

This was a colour scheme I always liked Not as dark s you want but I always liked the contrast aginst the mural which re me of your quilt ohh, just on another note, I’d not do a feature wall and the ceiling the same colour, id go all the walls and ceiling an off white as an option , all walls and ceiling the same colour as another and just the feature wall at the third, probably go for a light colour on the floor, I like carpet in the bedroom, if going wood floor I’d have a custom rug that would give a border of @1 1/2 foot of the wooden floor all round the room, yes expensive but I really love the look. my livingroom wasn’t really working for me until I had a custom rug done and it so ties it all together now, I have a border all around and the floor showing below around the edge.

Maybe a green with more grey in it like Mizzle or Cromarty would go better?

Thanks so much for all the input. Might it work with a compilmentary colour on the woodwork to try tie it in better or as some of the other replies have suggested a slightly different green? As an aside all the funtiture is just plain white (Ikea Hemnes). Thank you for the suggestions - greatly appreciated. French Grey doesn't look vastly different to the Teresas Green so i might try that.

I think it looks nice. Sonia pinched my other suggestion which would have been Cromarty or Mizzle. I have both of those colour matched by Johnstones. 😀

Perhaps a green with more grey tones would compliment the carpet better.

I've used James White on walls with Theresa's green as a second colour on doors and a renovated item of furniture. I agree with the consensus here that matching tones is the way to go.

Hue Families.

Work out in which Hue Family the carpet belongs - and find a colour from the same neighbourhood to harmonise. They will have an organic connection. They will relate.

I would let the expensive finishes in the space drive the paint colour choices for the best chance of creating colour harmony between materials.

The trouble is , when we fall in love with a paint colour first, it doesn’t mean it’s going to work the most seamlessly with what we already have.

I honestly think it looks fine. The carpet is neutral so would work with most colours. I would paint the skirting the same colour as the wall, they are quite small so I wouldn’t highlight them as a feature. In the same colour they will blend with the wall rather than create a dividing line.

You might find that Pavilion Blue works well with the mid grey carpet. It’s not blue, per se, but a very pale aqua, from the same family as Teresa’s Green. Also, if your room isn’t particularly light, Pavilion Blue captures what light there is, really well. I’ve used it in my dim north facing hall, which has one smallish window, and at the moment (before tiling), a mid grey concrete floor. Oh, and gloss woodwork that’s almost the same colour, but doors that are Green Blue gloss. It looks wonderful, even without the tiles.

Woodwork that’s almost the same colour as the walls, not the concrete!

Personally I don't think it goes. Agree with the Mizzle and Cromarty recommendations however.

I think you need something with a warmer tone - the one you have on the wall there kinda makes the carpet look dirty... Does that make sense??

I think it’ll make the carpet look more olive and I doubt thats what is desired

No I really think a blue would go nicer but no not a fan.

Go with Marylee , Carolina , Sonia or Daisy E . They always seem to what they are talking about .

I think the sheen in this carpet will reflect what ever wall colour you choose and help them work together- but on this thread there doesn’t seem to be much love for your colour choice.

For me the Teresa Green feels cool and fresh and the carpet feels warmer and richer. Personally with this carpet I would be considering Old White, Strong White, Blackened, Borrowed Light, Light Blue and strong colours such as Tanners Brown or Downpipe.

Hi all,

Thanks you all again for the input.

Based on a number of the opinions I managed to get a compromise on Mizzle rather than Teresa’s green which I think will work much better. Thanks again & will post a picture one painted!

Mizzle is a lovely colour. Good luck!

So, have painted the walls Mizzle, really like the colour but the white skirtings etc to my eye now look a bit stark - any opinions on whether I should paint these? My wife would like to paint the skirting & architraves in Mizzle too as it seems to be the trend but having a hard time visualising it. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

That looks lovely. I love the crisp clean white on my woodwork, but there are no hard and fast rules. If you do Mizzle the skirting make sure you use Eggshell and not emulsion as it won’t be as hardwearing. 👍

I would definitely do the woodwork to match. I’ve started doing this in our house and I don’t think I could ever go back to white now. I’ve attached a photo of our daughter’s bedroom as an example (we have a similar carpet).
