Need Help on Colour Painting
Comments (9)One refinement on the all white solution: get three distinct whites for walls, ceiling, and trim. While you are considering marine-gloss magenta for the dining room, you will feel less as though you are a prisoner in a stark white box. Benjamin Moore has some lovely, non-stark whites and off whites in their classic whites group. Their historical collection is particularly soothing, including: Concord Ivory Monterey White greys Edgecomb Gray Wickham Gray (very pale) Stonington Gray (a little darker) Revere Pewter (warm) Coventry Gray (neutral) pale yellows Windham Cream Hepplewhite Ivory and plenty of interesting beiges....See MoreWhat colour curtains for my living room?
Comments (13)I understand the look and would possibly compromise by bringing a white and brown striped curtain into play. This would add verticality and tie your wallpaper and white cabinet into the decor. When open you would have subtle brown and white stripes, and when closed a continuation of the wall pattern...See MoreWhat sink & cooker colour should i buy, i have an all white kitchen

Comments (27)You already have your accent colour as your sofa pillows (log roll pillows). I would take one of them shopping with me to get a rug that has that colour in it. It doesn't need to be a lot of that colour (I love the idea of burgandy rug here...but it might be too much with your monotone scheme). You can find a large rug that incorporates that red/raspberry in it so that you have a colour that is now your accent....See More

6 years agoThe bedside table is amazing, I love the wallpaper on the back!
You've probably seen these already, but might be helpful. You could switch the ways the colours are on the bedside table in this photo, so have a grey lampshade:

6 years agoLove the wallpaper! I agree less is more. I'd start with 3 things and If it needs more add a couple of other pieces. It would be good to see pics of the room to see what else is in there stylewise however I'd add navy. The navy quilt and mustard cushion are from bedeckhome (1/2 price ATM!). As you've only got one bedside table I'd add a floor lamp the other side if there's room. I love the brass one in the pic, both John Lewis and French connection have similar ones. The navy velvet throw is from the French bedroom company and the art is from Attiko art

6 years agoThank you everyone for your comments/ideas. @minnie101 Sorry I didn't post both I do have two bedside tables but finished the one posted first to give me some motivation (all that sanding is way overrated-but so worth it). I'm in the process of adding skirting to ceiling mirrors on either side of the bed with a very tall fabric headboard in middle the walls are a silver to mid Grey which came out very well. I've attached an in progress picture but still sourcing a roman blind which will be Grey as the main colour with mustard edge down both sides. Not too sure about a blind/curtain combo? I will also be adding an armchair similar to the one attached and also plan to add a greyish piece is art to the opposite wall for balance. Don't have the budget to change the artex ceiling unfortunately yuck!. The fabric hanging off the bed is for the headboard. Bold choice I know, but hope it turns out well.

Another way to get some of the yellow in the room is using a yellow wallpaper to line the back of a shelving unit (if you've got one in the room).
Could even try a yellow and grey wallpaper if you want to tie both colours together.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoHello Patrina,
Mustard or Yellow are fantastic colours and very uplifting. An excellent choice!
Consider the possibility that you immerse yourself in the COLOUR... bathe in the dramatic and then team it with something unexpected. So the accent is deliberate rather than just merely cautious. Another great way to use colour is to have gradients of the desired tone... It creates interest and allows you to "texturise" the walls... Like this and the colour is deliberate and dramatic it throws caution to the wind and offers the unexpected- my design for a private members club called, what else but... "The Amber Nectar" :))

6 years agoAK yes I did spend hours just me and my little mouse sander but so worth it. The paint is oil and is called Dulux deep Delhi Bazaar 3 which I got mixed in-store. Lots of hours a primer coat and three patiently applied coats of mustard later and I am glad I put the effort in.
