What colour is Egyptian Linen? Do you mean Dulux Egyptian Cotton? If you're using the same colour above and below the dado rail, paint it to match.

I'm a big fan of using bold colour on walls so if I'd seen this post last year before you'd chosen the floor tile I would have said to go for your original blue idea. However, I think the lovely tile you've chosen has all the colour you need. In this case I'd keep the walls a simple off white all over as suggested above and pick out the colour in your woodwork, e.g. the front door, skirting and architraves (but not the dado rail which should be the same colour as the walls). Some painted furniture, like a console table, and artwork that reflect some of the floor colours will then pull the whole scheme together.

Dark Staircase with Dado Rail and Picture Rail

We are going to decorate our hall, stairs and landing which is quite dark with not a great deal of natural light. The HSL have a dado rail and a picture rail which give us 5 things to consider painting 1 ) the woodwork i.e. doorframes, skirting, dado and picture rails [the doors are pine] 2) Below the dado 3) Between dado and picture rail 4) Above picture rail 5) the ceiling The woodwork needs to be white, so my question is, what do you consider the best way of doing the wall and ceiling areas. Since it's a dark hallway, the colours have got to be on the lighter shades. Options are: 1) Darker colour under the dado, lighter shade between dado and picture rail and then white above picture rail and ceiling .... I'm not sure if this looks a bit dated and fussy these days with effectively three different colours on the wall. 2) Have the same colour above and below the dado rail and then white above picture rail and ceiling. 3) Have white under the dado rail, have a band of colour between dado and picture rail and then white above picture rail and ceiling 4) Same as 3, but having a very light off white under the dado and above picture rail and ceiling. Has anyone got any experience of having a dado and a picture rail and what did you decide to plump for? What is the modern way of looking at this? And the last question - I've been looking at some greys for this hallway, but I'm really not sure that my pine doors and grey paint make great bedfellows - again, opinions gratefully received. Many thanks.

My living room is so similar to your dining room, it faces North-East, with a big bay window. With the help of Houzzers I painted it F&B Cromarty (a grey-green). I painted my fireplace Dulux Brilliant White as well as the skirting and architrave. I actually like the cleanliness of this white. The wall above the picture rail is white as is the ceiling. Would you consider painting your fireplace white? Difficult to say whether Dark Ivy is warm or cool as It’s such a deep colour. I’ll leave that for others to say! I think it would look nice on that fireplace wall.

Dado rail and paint colour confusion!

Its perfectly possible to ignore a dado rail. Its not some command to use two tone everywhere. I think its easier if you are going to use two colours to use the same shade or similar in different strengths. Teal is very dominant. You may grow tired of it and then you have matched expensive sofas to suit. Do a lot more research on this. More images. Try and view the rooms as a whole and not individually or you risk a dolls house effect. Consider sightlines too.
