Design Dilemma: Feature wall in this girly girl room. Pink or grey?
Comments (4)I think it depends as well on what seating option you're going for in terms of the balance of colour. I personally love the white sofa with the bed and the throw. This paper is from Cole and son, it also comes in a soft grey and a subtle neutral which work well with blush. The stars will also go with the chevrons. I don't think this paper really ages, I'd quite happily have it now although I'm sure my husband wouldn't! I've also added a pic of a teepee from Ella James as they're so cute for kids rooms and can obviously be removed once outgrown :)...See MoreColour dilemma - grey walls with cream/pink brick slips
Comments (6)For your information, F&B Skimming stone has a Lightness of 85.25 (out of a 100). A Chroma of 6.154, which indicates it is a near neutral. And a Hue Angle of 88.21° So it sits close to the centre of the Yellow Hue Family. Useful if you need to partner it with other near neutrals or even more colourful colours. You can use the geometry of the Wheel to create harmonies. Were you to find that Skimming Stone felt a little to yellow next to your pinkish brick, the strategy would be to find something with a similar Lightness & Chroma, but move the Hue Angle anti-clockwise nearer towards the Yellow-Red Hue Family. But I hope your colour dilemma works out fine & this is knowledge to tuck away until you need it again. 🌈...See MoreNew Render Paint Colour Dilemma
Comments (17)I also like the pale green/ grey of the primed upstairs windows. I think it sits very handsomely with the white. Personally I think a nearly white is more forgiving than a brilliant white which seems to be better in very modern houses. Whether you chose a colour instead depends on who is going to enjoy it- if that is you then chose a colour for your taste- personally I would chose an elegant pastel or contemporary dark colour- if you are selling on then whites have universal appeal. And I wouldn’t worry that the side of your house is plainer than the front- personally I like that it has a wider than normal plot and you can see the side. So far it’s looking much improved- well done....See More1920s Red brick plus exterior paint dilemma
Comments (5)Gorgeous house. As the windows are white, how about a gentle grey like F&B Ammonite, or a pale taupe such as Skimming Stone? A warm white like Winbourne White or Pointing maybe? Of course any masonry paint will do the job, but I do think F&B have the most beautiful shades that really suit period homes....See MoreCaldicot Kitchen & Bathroom Centre
