What can I do with these dark walls? Paint white?????
Comments (15)I think painting the walls lighter and brighter is the right move but don't be restricted to white necessarily - although that would be the safe option and you know for sure it would work! You could introduce a contrasting colour on the ceiling if the walls were white obviously dependent on your furnishings and other colour choices. How about a soft grey or "greige" as an alternative to the white? Finally, you could introduce a dado rail at approx 1m from the floor - painted white the same as cornice and ceiling and then paint the upper and lower sections in contrasting colours of say charcoal on the base and white above or 2 shades of the same colour....See MoreVelvet Sofa case study - which combo do you like the most?
Comments (19)Ah - this takes me back to the 70s, when I decorated my teenage bedroom around a bedspread with this blue and green combination! So .... very retro and cosy. For me, it's a better cold climate or winter colour scheme. I like it, but think I would tire of it more quickly than a more neutral scheme....See MoreWhich oil painting do you like out of these?
Comments (45)I can see you have already had some great advice and if I offered my choice from the three it would be the middle one. But in truth, I personally wouldn’t have any of them as they just remind me of those ‘real fake’ pictures where a group Thai ‘artists’ each paint a part and pass it on, banging out 100 a day. I am pleased that some Thai family is in employment, just not sure about all the middlemen. For our wedding my wife and I asked all guest to donate whatever they felt they wanted toward a painting, we already had enough kettles. In the end we had enough to buy a painting each. I originally wanted to buy a picture that may go up in value and be something of an investment for my son. The gallery owner who helped us with our choice made this point, that when you choose something for an investment its worth remembering you should enjoy looking at the picture as well. We went with that advice first. I’m sure there must plenty of places where a genuine local artist would appreciate the purchase of their work in order to make a living. My plan when we finish our rebuild here in Christchurch is to fill our walls this way. But if you ended up with an abstract those links on doing one yourself looked interesting....See MoreWhich bathroom tile combo do you like?
Comments (1)Not opt 2 as too busy. Can pick up the subtlety of the other two. But wondering if you would be better with a white that matches the white in floor tile or a cool grey to match...See MoreColour Confidence Interiors
