The little box cupboard is fuse box... What colour should I paint this or just leave it? Just want to try and modernise/brighten a bit

Please help

I would go with something in the family of green/blue stripe in the wallpaper that’s there now. To brighten it up, look at going a shade or two lighter. I would then paint the cupboard the same colour as the walls.

Thank you, thought paper n colours were bit dated 🙈 the strip doesn't go with herringbone which is why I was thinking remove and paint

Strip the wallpaper and paint the walls white, then see how it looks.

Thanks, any thoughts what to put in here to dress it?

Hi, the floor is stunning, but as it’s quite bold I think a soft pale blue or even a simple white would be nice. I would paint the cupboard and skirting in the same colour as the walls. The wallpaper needs to go, but you know that.

Thank you there are a lot of red tones in the woodwork, def don't want to clash. Just want it bright and fresh looking. Not old and dark. It's a 1980s bungalow so pretty uninspiring.

If I were to paint the walls a white, would you still paint fuse box cupboard the same or would that be too matchy

Again, would the bright white ceiling and cornicing look strange with a different white on the walls? Im thinking some type of neutral but obviously not any grey tones some type of white or something with pinky tones?

Woukd you keep skirtings dark or paint white?

I think a soft white against the floor will look stunning. Painting the fuse cupboard will blend it in. A simple, yet elegant, hall table, add a mirror or art piece and that will be all that is needed for this space. Give those lovely floors a good clean and polish and you will have a gem of an entry.

@juliette kaz thank you. What colours would you choose for furniture, I've currently only got a dark/chocolate coloured sideboard and a console table in this colour or a walnut narrow console table? There's gold accents in entry door handle, carpet bar and light switch so would you have gold mirror? Or keep everything neutral colours, get new bits? I also like black accents but not sure if works with floor.

This is what I have at moment... I hate dark wood but seems a shame to chuck and not sure how easy to cover over 😕

Strip, sand and paint white! A matte finish, rather than gloss..You could even look at changing the hardware...

Even better!! Leave the six drawer out altogether - The two drawer table is the piece for that entry. Of course, after reworking the other piece you'll have to find a place in your home for it

You could try it out in the space now, before painting the entry, to see how the proportions work.

I threw in a red wall for some drama....

The two drawer is stunning as is and will be great against a white wall.
