I think it just looks darker as you’re seeing it in isolation on a white wall. That was about as close I could get to the colour but hopefully similar in tone

what’s the width of the alcove?

Glad it helped 😊

sorry I should have asked, what do you need to store? In front of the radiator is tricky as it will block the heat, a console could work but doesn’t really give much storage plus the radiator looks quite long.

It’s mainly for paperwork as my husband is using this room for working from home as I have pinched the study upstairs ( lockdown probs 😊)
I just thought a piece of furniture would also finish room .
The radiator is long, I did have old sofa on that wall but switched round when started replacing everything.

I love what you have done to your living room and think either of the colours you have suggested would finish it off. For alcove storage, you could get a carpenter to build something to fit the space and then paint with the same colour as the fireplace to achieve a seamless look.

I agree with Kiwikate- the colours look really nice and match the wallpaper well
you could paint the fitted storage unit the colour of the walls so it just looks 'wall like' not sure how much storage you need though.. if it's not very much that you need then you could just buy a unit online that will match the room.. maybe the colour of that blue sofa?

you could make a built in bench that has drawers under it? therefore it's got a double purpose... and with some cushions and rugs on it etc. that will help to disguise it

Thank you so much for your ideas I think shelves and built in cupboard in same colour great idea now to find someone to do it 😊 xx

Such a lovely room. The colour of the wallpaper is lovely and looks a bit like Skimming Stone? I wonder if painting the rest in that?

Thank you, I havnt tried skimming stone the one I have chosen is shaded white xx

Hi Sharon, I love your room especially the floor. Can you tell me please what it is and where it's from.

Hi Jo Home
Thank you 😊
It was from Warrington flooring local company sure you be able to get it elsewhere,
Chateau herringbone laminate 8mm TEXAS LIGHT BROWN

Thank you, much appreciated x

I think Shaded White will be perfect. It is more neutral than Stony Ground (which I love), it should look really good.

You so right Shaded White looks lovely all completed well not quite looking for ceiling light any suggestions you lovely Houzzers ?
and curtains they have to be made to measure so might have to wait until shops reopen.
Although John Lewis have an online service 🤫 xx

That looks fabulous! I like made.com for lights, but they can take a while to get delivered.

That looks great. Good old Shaded White ( ;

It looks fab 😊 I wish it looked like that in my living room, I had a tester propped on the fireplace for ages!

whzat sort of light are you after?

Thanks all , minnie101 I think it’s like you said if it’s against another colour it doesn’t show it’s true colour
I was thinking more of pendant style that will work with room the ones I have now are about 10yrs old 😂

First offff... it looks great!!
Try googling litfad for your lights... so cheap and affordable and so many styles

What a fabulous result. I'll bet it helps to highlight you colourful art above the heater. I really like the brass floor lamp against the shaded white. Maybe a brass ceiling light would look good.

Do you like any of these? I'm just a bit confused about the first though as it says the height is 1m but doesn’t mention being adjustable

Minnie101 thank you so much you have been a godsend 😊I actually looked at first one on Made , but i now like the last one where is it from ?
The wires from tv are so annoying I was thinking of built in cupboard but tv has to be at that angle anyone else solved this issue ?

Hi, re the tv issue, I have an oak tv unit which hides all the wires at the back via a cut out hole. It also has a cupboard to one side and it surprisingly stores a lot. There are lots of styles to choose from but avoid black glass as it shows every spec of dust!

This is my one.

The mother of Pearl? That was from Maison du Monde. I liked that one, probably not the obvious choice but it seems to work well

will see if I can find photos of other tv ideas

Yes the mother of Pearl , I think it’s a winner myself.
Thanks minnie101 xx

Sharon you could make a unit that the same colour as the walls and put it on some subtle wheels? that way u can push it back when not being used and roll it forward when u want to watch it
