Love the blue colour - is this standard?

7 years ago

Is this a standard Ikea colour for this Bodbyn front or did you paint it?
If you painted it can you tell me what paint you used and how you applied it.

Thanks

The blue fronts are the Bodbyn style however our client had them custom painted for this project. When painting cabinets we always recommend using a professional cabinet sprayer to ensure quality and longevity of the final product.

I think it can be stunning! I agree with cabinets to the ceiling except use cdrown molding for the English look you desire. By all means good lighting however to achieve the look do not use harsh lighting. Have dimmers and have a smallish lamp on one of your countertops for ambient lighting. I do suggest Carrera marble if you go grey or hammered stainless (to resemble pewter) if you go dark blue for your countertops and pl;ease consider hanging some antique mirror. I have a wonderful photo of a tiny deep blue kitchen and cannot seem to lay my hands on it. If I find it soon I will post it for you. I hope you will go for it and post photos! Hope this helps. :)

I think your colors are restful so I would work with those and not pop a color. Maybe some interesting artwork that had some color in it, but I think you should go for a more elegant calm look. By the way, I like the chandelier you have with the fireplace. I think I would paint the lower part of your wall the same blue as is in the top part. Then I would add some black accents in glass and lamps. Curtains that have a sheen or gold thread would be nice.

Hi. I'm not that keen on the paper with the rest of the room, it doesn't look bad at all but it doesn't look stunning either imo. Everything else looks to be more of a greige? I'd look at the same paper in truffle, sable, dark linen or even the pewter may work ( hard to tell colours on screen so would get samples of all!). I agree with the others, would go for plain bed linen and add pattern in cushions and/ or throw. It looks as if a chalk pink would work best with the greige. Maybe a chalky white for the remaining furniture. You could also break up the window ŵall by adding a trim and maybe Pom poms to the bottom of the blind. A little antique gold for accessories, lights etc would also work well.

You can really afford to go for drama in a bedroom and paint it a dark color if you like. If you find that a bit of a 'commitment' I'd go with a dark wall where your headboard should be. It would work well with the frames and mounts that are on your pictures above the bed. I can see you're currently sharing your room with a baby so a blanket box (a decent one you can sit on) would be a good investment to get those toys out of view. Don't go crazy with wood, I'd get one you could paint and change the up the upholstery on the lid so that you can update it every 5-7 years as you will with your room.
