Is it weird to paint each room brightly different colour schemes?
I live in a maisonette where the upstairs is the entrance and the bedrooms are downstairs. All the doors are always closed (I just prefer the doors closed plus I have pets).
This is my first property so this is pretty new to me but ive began decorating and so far have started/nearly finished the living room, upstairs & downstairs hallway, both bathrooms, ”chill“ room & master bedroom. Theyre painted all different colours (With the next room containting a few details from same colour family as the prev room). I love the scandi & mid century (60s - 80s) vibe and have implemented both into every room so the style still is the same (aswell as the flooring for the upstairs hallway & living room). Im really getting into interiors and just home decor overall and im realising that the general way to decorate your home is to keep the colours similar throughout aswell as the style so it all flows.
Obviously im just doing what I like so it doesnt really matter but im curious to know if its strange or not encouraged to have such bold different colour schemes for each room. My main direction was just a colourful retro house with each room giving a different vibe when you enter!

Downstairs hallway: (I plan on painting the stairs darker cornflower blue & white, with a wall mural using the colours from upstairs)

Comments (2)Your house probably works at them bent as there is continuity throughout. I think you should sit down with a colour chart from just one manufacturer and pick 10 shades that all work with each other and then you will have some'rules' to apply to every room so that they all work with each other. You will likely need 4 nearly white colours for ceilings, woodwork and some walls, you will likely then have 3-4 mid tones that might even be the same colour in different shades and lastly a couple of accents make sure that all the colours work with each other. It makes choosing flooring, wall paper and fabrics much easier and purchased items can be used in more than one room. I like the Farrow and Ball colour chart although my decorator insisted on having the paint colour matched by a trade supplier. My house is predominantly painted All White, pavilion grey, Lamp Room Grey with darker Downpipe and Hague Blue. My previous house was whites and green tones with orange accents. In your case I think you need to look at what you already have such as carpets and start to form a plan....See MoreDifferent colour schemes on separate floors ?
Comments (6)Thanks ladies. I like monochrome neutrals, I just don't want the entire house in this scheme as it makes the place feel samey , colourless and therefore rather lifeless and dull. I am branching out since my post into this popular scheme that seems to be around atm involving sage mixed with dashes of muted blush and muted teal. This land of colour is a brave new world for me, ha !...See MoreBathroom colour scheme advice
Comments (155)It looks great Sam! I love the cabinet, and the flooring choice too, you’d never know it was lino. We have Lino in our utility room, its so easy to keep clean...lovely and warm and soft under bare feet too! You must be so pleased with it, everything works together really well....See Morenow need a colour scheme for hall and stairs
Comments (8)Thats a lovely hall. The bit I’m not keen on is the lime green lower wall. If you painted it all in a gentle taupe like F&B Skimming Stone or Purbeck Stone, or any soft neutral it will make a huge difference. Pigeon is a lovely shade for a hall and it goes nicely with red. There will be less of a clash with the red carpet. I have a different colour in each room and there are no decor police saying it must all flow together. As long as you love it, that’s all that matters. Here’s some ideas...See More
