Need help with understanding "green yellow"
Comments (5)Make yourself a coffee.... Analogous schemes are harmonious and easy on the eye. It means colours that are next to each other on the wheel. For example it could be yellow, green and blue. However there are millions of possibilities -so where to start?. One could be pure and the others could be 'muddy' or 'knocked back'. One could be very light in tone, one mid and one darker. Also they would vary in amounts. In my living room I have an analogous scheme (yellow, green, blue). The walls are a warm grey (neutral). The floor is oak (warm yellow tinge). The sofa is dirty olive (green). The cushions are mustard (yellow) and I have flashes of turquoise and teal (blue). If you want a more lively scheme you could go for a complementary scheme. This means colours that are on opposite sides of the wheel, thus creating a more stimulating effect. Buy some tubes of acrylic and experiment, it will open up a new world....See MoreGarden designers - what services can they help me with?
Comments (8)You should be able to guide a Garden Designer to what level of design you want from a consultation. It is worth considering that Designers will be able to offer different levels of planning, such as with all the materials and planting specified or just as an overall layout. I offer initial consultations where I go into a description of a concept, as well as my understanding of what my client wants. Then I add some specific pointers and advice. My quote for further design work is tailored to what they have asked and/or what I believe they need. As has been hinted at above it sounds like you need a Masterplan, that is a general layout for the whole area and then perhaps more detail for the an area closest to the house. Most Designers would be very happy to come back in later years and work out the detail of other areas in the future or you may be confident later to do some or all of that yourself. Some Designers will also be willing to help you by visiting on an hourly basis to assist in how to get the garden made....See MoreWhat's missing in this kitchen?
Comments (21)I don't think colour is the issue, it's tone that is lacking. Convert the image to black and white and it will look a bit insipid. The bank of cupboards where the fridge is would have benefited form being a dark colour, the pendants are nice but need to be much lower and the wall cupboards look a little high with gaps. I actually think the rug works well and would add more things with character. The splash back would have been more dramatic if perhaps teal tiles were used instead of glass....See Morewhat is missing? after renovation
Comments (25)I think the room is most of the way there but for me there are a couple of hard elements that need softening and a couple of things that I think are not sitting so well. I think that the floor and sofa are quite hard looking. A rug under the dining table and a sofa throw could help. Personally I would choose bigger rugs to cover more floor as I think the colour is less contemporary than the rest of the room. I think a couple of oversized house plants could help too. In my opinion the overhead lighting is a little harsh and you should add some table and standard lights. Personally I would prefer to see curtains that match the front windows, behind the dining table. I would remove the picture rail that seems to circle only half the room. I also think that the cabinets would have more presence if against a darker coloured wall and wall mounted so the taller cabinets would be window height....See More- 4 years ago
