Can I blend my furniture with new colour scheme?

3 years ago

Hi
I am moving bedrooms and have the opportunity to redecorate but can’t change my current bed which is French Grey or my furniture which is all white and silver. I’d really like to change the colours and come away from all the greys but don’t know how to blend with new colours.
my current furniture is shown here and the colour scheme I like. I ordered the warm beige they suggested in the article but it’s not very nice.
I’ve also attached a picture of the kind of colours I would like.
Just don’t know if one goes with the other or how to make it work with paint or paper, carpet and curtains.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Out of the three colours they recomend the sage green is the best I think. With the furniture the way it is your a little stuck, but if you want a light warmer colour like in the last photo you could spraypaint the furniture from white to gloss black? it would prevent it getting lost and compliment the headboard, maybe also go for some dark base sheets for the bed but with a light throw or duvet cover.

I rather like the colour of that pink cushion in your first picture, the one on the floor. It would sit nicely with the French grey headboard. You could paint the walls pink (not for everyone I know) but a soft shade like Dulux Blush Pink or F&B Setting Plaster are not too bright. If that’s a step too far then an off white on the wall, say Little Green’s Slaked Lime would work and introduce the pink in your bedding.

I rather like the first pic which has Setting Plaster walls, teal chair and a grey and white rug. You don’t have to be a slave to matching everything. The second pic is Dulux Blush Pink.

I love the colour of the furniture, but I would definitely find some new handles for them. Maybe something in lilac? Like a cut glass, or something ceramic and pretty. Look at Laura Ashley for inspiration but you can find cheaper versions, and usually just as well made, elsewhere. Match the wardrobe to the chest of drawers more and make them look even more refined. Also maybe put something above the wardrobe, like a trunk or something fitting to the room, to fill the space. Love how this looks already though, not much more and it'll be perfect.

Hi there, how exciting with a new kitchen! Since you haven't included any other photos of the kitchen, I just thought I'd attach some red pendant lights, that might work in the space. I love the first photo, I think a colour clash can look really nice, depending on the style you're going for.

Hi, the space looks fantastic with those wooden stairs and rustic beams. I agree with the comment above about the sofa- would look and feel more comfy if you went for fully upholstered one. I think you could play with whites, greys, black and wood colours and chose one more to add: yellow, blue or even red/pink to fit your chair in. Whitewashed clay pots with green plants would add a lot of warmth as well: I am making oversized wooden clocks that could infuse your cottage with even more character, few examples and link to my website below: Peak Art Handmade Wall Clocks Anna

Hi, what a lovely space. Have you enough budget to change the banister style? They're really busy and detract from your gorgeous ceilng. Glass panels might be good. Also, what's the floor like under the carpet? If it's decent timber could you keep it? A waxed or varnished finish could bounce some light around the room. Have you got a sofa etc? What colour is the upholstery? And of course you need to think about the colours you like! Personally I couldn't stand living with peach or terracotta colours on my walls, and I don't like pale blues either, so that limits my schemes! I think your room is big enough to have a rich colour on the end wall but you may want to go for a neutral scheme... Good luck!

Thanks very much.
Funnily enough I saw Blush Pink today and I like it but I’m not sure my husband will go for it.
As you say I do have a couple of pink cushions I usually keep on the bed.
I bought the tester of the paint on the wall my last picture and it’s quite nice but neutral.
I have also ordered a sample of the paper in this pic which has grey, green and a pink in it. I’ll like it but not sure it’s too busy and beachy 🤔

I think F&B Skimming Stone would look good on your walls and would tie in with the headboard. It also would work with your white furniture. Bedding and accessories, as above, in sage green, dusty pink or Setting Plaster as Sonia suggests, would all look great too.
