Need colour advice on living room carpet
Comments (4)I like the idea of gray - go to a paint store and find a chip that is the color of your sofa and then look at the grays - so many shades - find one that feels comfortable to you. For me, I would put down flooring and then use an area rug with lots of texture - even a natural sisal or the like....See MoreAdvice for a newbie
Comments (5)I agree with groveraxle, with a small caveat - if you're not very experienced with how paint colors change in different rooms with different light and so on, then I like to try out a couple of samples of colors I THINK I'm likely to want before I go shopping for furnishings/art/etc. (I just paint on thick card or something so I can move the sample around in the room and between rooms.) My reason for this is that it can be quite hard to make some color schemes work in some rooms and I don't want to be in love with a rug/piece of art/etc. and only find out once I try to decorate the room around it that the room itself is fighting me. (For example, my parents have a room which only gets REALLY warm natural light due to the angle of the sun when it hits the windows. So some colors look VERY different in there compared to elsewhere in the house.) For example - I have the idea I probably wanted my new bedroom to be some shade of gray. What I'm going to do is get some sample pots of gray paint that looks appealing to me and test them in the room. Some will probably appeal more than others in the room, so then I'll let those guide me in looking for other items - not trying to match the paint, but looking for a light cool gray versus a darker warm gray, that sort of thing. Then once I have the soft items selected I'll find the exact shade of paint I use from there. (Which might end up being the sample I already had, or might need a custom mix, etc.) I think if you're a designer or do this a lot you start getting a better idea of how rooms will influence colors and can just imagine it, so you don't need to do the first step as much. You can just look at a room and tell things are likely to read warm or cool or whatever....See MoreElderly folks require carpet and paint colour advice.
Comments (25)That is true alright, though even with a patterned carpet they usually keep a mat for people to wipe their feet on by the door, or if people like to remove boots or shoes when entering ( not that common here) but great idea. The trouble with the patterned carpet was if anything fell on the floor you could hardly find it !!...See MoreCurtain colour & style advice
Comments (1)A Greige would be nice, a mix between Grey and Beige, I wouldn't go fully to either colour. But, an in-between would be nice. If you'd like any, one to one advice or design help, feel free to get in touch. Email - kerrybryaninteriors@outlook.com Kerry...See MoreStyling and Staging
