What colour living room?

last modified: 5 years ago

Hi,

I’ve run out of steam and inspiration for the paint colour for our living room. It’s Not th brightest room and wanted it to tie in with our kitchen style

so the house wasn’t too mismatched.

What do you think? Any suggestions at all?

I’ve attached some pictures of our kitchen and a possible sofa. Thanks :)

Go for a light shade of grey as it would tie in with the monochrome kitchen and looks good when the rooms are north facing, there are also some other earthy tones like oxford stone in farrow and ball. Or if you are up for it go for dark moody shades in navy or greenish greys

Cornforth (F&B) would look great in this room. A classy colour that would look great against the large window.

HI -- Well the wallpaper was just done so there is no changing that , soooo I think you should paint the rest of that wall the same white as the white background of the wallpaper and paint fireplace mantel too. Then have two small matching cabinets painted the blue from the paper or the leaf color placed on each side of the fireplace. . Then have white or glass shelves above , maybe three is best . Now the rest of the room painted the exact color of your sofa . Because the room looks small I think it would look best to have the sofa blend into the walls color wise. Now just keep some of your room accents in the blue color but not too much. Remember not to clutter the shelves and if you don't want the shelves then have a large painting on each side and have a big round mirror over the mantel and keep the small items off the mantel and onto the side cabinets .

What is the name of the green that you used? Hard to tell on a monitor. It looks gray/sage?

I must admit the cashew looks pretty white on an iPad! I would maybe try a grey with a hint of mauve (you know the colour that they quite often use for french chairs etc). I've looked at the following from zoffany: fig grey, dusk and victorian purple. They may be too much purple so you could buy a grey and mix your own with a mauve tester pot

Our living room is a cosy size, about 15x15. It has a large window on one wall, fireplace on the opposite (will be a cream cast iron traditional style fireplace). I was thinking of painting it a very mellow sage green but am at a loss with what curtains to put in.

Hi,

light greys are always a safe option.

I wouldn't go for a pale grey sofa because in my opinion it restricts the paint options in the living room. If it's a gloomy room then some greys could make it gloomier. If therefore you wanted to choose a warmer wall colour the pale grey sofa could look a bit odd. I would opt for a tan sofa or a warmer linen colour and this opens up paint options.

I second Cornforth white from Farrow & Ball. I have it in my north facing living room, we have a bay window like yours, it is a lovely warm grey, makes the room feel cosy. We have Pavilion grey in our south facing lounge and this too is a lovely colour. We also have a grey sofa with our pavilion grey walls.
