Help with long narrow living /dining room
Comments (9)A colourful throw over the "back" of the sofa would help to add a pop of colour and break up the "wall" of colour that the back of the sofa currently provides. I also like the other ideas for a low console table behind the table and something hanging above the fireplace on the brick wall. Depending upon powerponts, antenna cabling and your affection for the pendant light, you could completely flip the room and put the dining table near the fireplace, spin the sofa around so that the "seat" (and cushions, etc) face the entry and put the TV on the wall opposite the fireplace....See MoreNeed help with 'natural' pebble ceilings in 70s house
Comments (12)Hi Wendy, I've had a similar dilemma from a client in Sydney and we plastered the ceiling up (similar to Dohraime's images) and it was a real transformation. You could box in around your skylights too so you don't lose that lovely light. If this is all to expensive then paint the pebbles (spraying might be the best to get coverage) and the beams the same colour so that neither attract any attention but rather they act as a neutral backdrop for the room. Good luck, this is a bit of a challenge. Cheers, Michelle...See More15 year old daughter's room makeover
Comments (6)If her favourite colour is red and if she has specifically asked for red to be used in the room, then I think you should try to respect her wishes and add red accessories, like a throw and cushion/s. It's great to have a neutral base, but everyone should be allowed to show a little of their personality in their own bedroom.

Comments (25)I would be wary of using such a vivid colour on the walls, depending on the size of the room and the light it could be quite overwhelming. Think about how she wants to feel in the room. Generally for interior walls you use a chroma-reduced tint of the colour, and use the more vivid colour tones in accessories. Or as others have said, just use it on one wall. You could pick a pale tint for the other walls (or even different tints on all the walls), or a gradient might be nice too! The wall colour looks more blue to me than teal, it's difficult to see on screen, so the best idea is to get test pots and paint some of the wall, live with it for a few days and see how it works with the natural light in the room. I don't know the Haymes colours, but it looks similar to the Dulux 'Water Raceway', in which case I would experiment with 'Opalescent' or 'First Landing', or for a bit more green 'Oasis Spring' or 'Shimmering brook' might be nice....See Morekym2650
