Hi All :) Seeking advice on wall colours for our brand new home. Victorian weatherboard circa 1912 construction. Looking to contemporarise a little but maintain the character. Room 1 (pictured) is going to be our lounge room / den. We have beautiful original floorboards throughout that are very warm which contrasts with the dark skirting, fireplace and picture rail. The tiling is a maroon which is probably why the original owners went with that for the walls, but it's a little full on for us. Furniture neutral as we don't have anything so just looking for thoughts on colour for the walls. Thinking a light grey up until the picture rails then white above. Do you guys think we need to paint out the skirting boards and fireplace wood to a white as well? Hoping not too so we keep the dark wood feel... will the dark wood go with the grey?
