Comments (44)Hello Lisamarie, Thank you very much! Well look at it like this, I offer up ideas I would do or consider but then you need to see what works for you and what you like, in my suggestions.. My advice is never impartial though as I am far too invested in what I do and love.. You do need to consider the furniture though but despite all these ideas your bright cushions will still add a really nice contrast.. What I was thinking, because I have this same experience... I painted the chimney breast only in grey.. I then painted the walls a cream colour, skirting in white. In your case it would be Wimborne for the walls and All White for the woodwork... ... I lived with it for a while but felt bored. It wasn't dramatic or characterful.. .. So I went on to paint the left wall where the window is and the opposite wall.. So 3 sides will now have dark grey 1 of the walls has an 8 ft by 6 ft mirror though the other is the chimney breast and the alcoves will be papered Oreste charcoal by Zoffany.. When I have got around to paying my pro-forma! ;) ..... (It's going to be a dark interior for the living room).. So I then painted all the window frames and windows black against the window panes and again a purple/grey colour I made for the frames, skirting, picture rail and architrave. It is coming along but not finished.. I have very little £ so I have to do things when I can.. Why not get some A4 paper and a few sample pots of nice chalky whites and creams, I do like pointing, also Shaded White and Clunch are really gr8 ... Stick some on the wall and some of the skirting colour on the skirting... You want to butt them up close together, so you can see them together... Look throughout the day at the changes. Duplicate the wall colours at eye level too.. so you can see at more height.. The room will look like a bad shave day! : ) ) Colours will change depending on the light.. choose a colour that is just a little creamier, so that if you want the woodwork white... you can still get a contrast.. Otherwise it will be white wall and woodwork and a downpipe chimney breast... So let's just say you went with some contrast... For Downpipe you could have Plummett or Manor house grey for the wood work... You could do the floor too.... Take these ideas and extend them to the other rooms... See what feels right.. Let me know what you think and if you get all that... and have more questions.. I just can't ever write a paragraph!! :))...See MoreHelp with colour-interior design!
Comments (8)Hello Edwina, To make it all work you probably would be better off removing rather than adding things! Your room looks very busy, maybe try to remove some stuff and see if you like it, for instance, all the things under the tv? I like your sofa and carpet, they are neutral and a good base to work with. The curtains are a good match for the brick for the fireplace and the rug. And a lighter colour on the chimney would definitely go a long way in making the room lighter....See Moreurgent help with interior design please!
Comments (17)Thank you so much everyone for your help! Such great advice and trying my best to follow it all...I think the main problem is im not happy with the furniture or the carpet, or the fireplace bricks I feel it's stuck in the 70s and not a cosy up to date sitting room...I just can't relax in there! And I keep trying to fix one thing at a time making it worse! We decided not to keep curtains (we would have had two on each, we were just testing them but you're right, that put me off too just seeing it like that!) as yes, rug too busy...I only bought that to infuse some colour in such a bland room! I will try and use the colours in that or in pic above piano (which is the only thing I love in there!) and love the idea of bench style thing under tv thank you-we're on the case! Think I need to apply to 60 minute makeover and be done with trying to fix it myself...See More- 3 years ago
