Jenny, you posted in "Before and After" you'll get more responses if you post in " Design Dilemma" but I do love the colour of charcoal grey skirt that lady is wearing with the mustard. LOL, what is it with teenage boyz, sitting on the counter tops anyway :) Cheers to that glass of wine!!!

A window seat would be great for storage. I would also add tall storage (in gloss white to reflect light) on either the TV wall or presumably you have an empty back wall at the moment. Maybe add a giant colourful world map mural over the sofa? Definitely add a rug. A coffee table would be good for the younger child to use for crafts etc. You could try one of the mid-century designs that are around at the moment with the painted legs so it suits both age groups. Maybe paint the desk in a brighter colour for the older child to use? Choose a paint with a satin finish rather than matt. A mirror will also help with the light. I think the key is storage though as it is a nice room already.

Hi. Is this the Rockefeller image? If so, It's quite grey so I'd go for either chalky white or a pale grey for walls. Maybe a mid grey for curtains, if the light is good, have a look at Next for ideas. Mix white, grey and charcoal for the bed. Add a couple of black accents like a picture frame, lamp shade etc. maybe go for a mustard as an accent colour (think New York cabs!)

Ammonite is from the Yellow Hue Family and Down Pipe from the Blue-Green Hue Family. The two colours could work very well together as a Diad harmony. Note though, that Ammonite is a changeling of a colour. In a balanced quality of light it appears to most people as a near neutral grey colour. In imbalanced light it may have moments of greenness and possibly even hint a blue-ish cast. This doesn’t happen in every situation. Test in your space at the angle it will be viewed, just so you know how it’s likely to render in your son’s space. You may like it in all potential moods, but you don’t want surprises. A other alternative to consider with Down Pipe is Borrowed Light. It is very close in Value (lightness/darkness) to Ammonite but is from the Blue-Green Hue Family, like Down Pipe.
