Wall colours with beige carpet — advice please
Comments (12)I've just been looking at your colours, I think the Dulux Dieskau would work the best with the other colours you have to work with, choosing colours is such a personal thing and I know it can be really hard to choose and hope you make the correct choice. Oskuee is right, a paint job can look terrible half way through so you need to make sure you finish to get the proper look of colour. But the biggest thing to remember is it's only paint and it's the cheapest thing to change so if your not happy with the colour you choose you can always try something else. Happy redecorating :)...See MoreCould I paint my walls a cool white-grey tone using these floor tiles?
Comments (10)Hello again, Definitely not too warm. I am not entirely sure what paint colour you are thinking of but as pointed out - easier to adjust paint rather than the other way around. If the tiles were really grey and the walls were that tone as well, it would be a very flat, souless look - the slight touch of warmth in the tiles is a good thing and honestly being so neutral your options are huge with colour of walls, particularly if you are intending to use this tile throughout. May I suggest you choose a paint colour and then use different depths of the same colour depending on sunlight, dark corners, more impact in certain areas etc to create the interest. Be wary when you have such a neutral, albeit very tasteful tile, it may be wise to adjust the paint in this way to lift the level of interest. Take a look at the following colours - Resene House White and Resene Concrete as starters - very unobtrusive. You could always go for a hit of charcoal in areas too. Avoid any "feature" walls - do the whole room - nothing wrong with strong, dark colour, even in small rooms - think powder room or laundry if you are not brave enough to do an entire, larger room. I am also assuming you will be introducing plenty of white trim on skirting boards etc - for what it is worth, my go to white is nearly always Resene Alabaster. Loving the sound of the carrara - such a classic. Hope that helps :)...See MoreLight or dark wood flooring
Comments (8)Haha Siriuskey! Twins are just fascinating :) Yes you are right about the smoky sapelle, but its quite dark (for me anyway!) Here is a link to the light colour that is very similar to Blackbutt https://www.quick-step.com.au/en-au/laminate/impressive-ultra/imu1847_classic-oak-beige?uf_FloorType=flooring_floortype/005_qs_laminate&uf_Thickness=120 Dark colour https://www.quick-step.co.uk/en-gb/laminate/majestic/mj3548_woodland-oak-brown Or really dark! https://www.quick-step.com.au/en-au/laminate/impressive-ultra/imu1849_classic-oak-brown?uf_FloorType=flooring_floortype/005_qs_laminate&uf_Thickness=120 PS This will open on to a Blackbutt deck at rear (which I will probably stain to match if I use a darker colour inside)...See MoreInterior wall paint colour warm or cool white dilemma
Comments (6)Hi, I don’t know if this helps but in out Reno we did last year we chose lexicon quarter for our walls. I don’t regret it as it suits what we did style wise, and it is a ground floor apartment so needs the extra brightness for reflection - it was previously painted hogbristle and looked really dingy and dark. I agree with the above comment that lexicon is stark. For our new house I’ve gone with Surfmist outside and a warm light grey inside - so two warm tones, but that’s because I wanted a more cozy feel as opposed to a fresh and bright feel. I don’t think it matters on outside vs inside though, I think it really depends on your furnishings and fixtures/floors etc. For example I personally wouldn’t paint my house lexicon if all of my furniture was rich wood and warm tones....See MoreDesigners WTF (Wild Taste and Fast-paced)
