I need help with paint colour for my living room and kitchen walls
Comments (15)We just painted a color called "Latte" over the dark red walls in our place and we keep thinking that someone left the light on! It adds that much light to the place as the red was just sucking out any light in the place. Find a color you like more for that wall and repaint...and/or maybe add a ceramic tile backsplash? It will make it feel brighter in there immediately as you will get a lot of light reflection. I love the idea of sage green with your cabinets....See MoreWhat colour should I paint this fireplace?
Comments (11)Ooh Darzy I like your thinking. Actually the curtains are taupe and a nearly mint green - not stripes more they blend into each other (see pic). But if I got some art picking out those 2 colours that could work. I love teal but not sure about it on this wall. Maybe coral could be nice or is that too on trend? I also have an old chair I need to get reupholstered and was struggling for ideas for that. But a floral pattern with the green and taupe from the curtains and a third colour that matches the art could work well - ideas, ideas, ideas!Thank you Houzzers I knew you'd help me to look at this differently....See MoreHow should I paint my long, narrow hallway?
Comments (1)You say you plan on having a toy area under the window. I suggest that which ever color of paint you choose for the hallway, make sure it can be washed easily. Children are hard on hallway walls....See MoreHelp! how should I arrange my living room furniture?
Comments (0)I'd love some advice on how to arrange my living room furniture, starting with a completely blank canvas. The room will be used as a child-free retreat, mainly in the evenings for reading, watching movies and some entertaining. The window faces south east so it is bright during the day and looks over the front garden. We will probably get built ins around the fireplace to store books. I am thinking about getting a corner sofa oriented towards the tv on the right side of the fireplace but I am worried then that the wall opposite the window will just be blank. I'd like to put a chair there too but when you are entering the room I think it will appear to stick out a lot. What could I put on that wall? Could I orient the room the opposite way by putting the tv on the left of the fireplace or would that feel strange entering the room between couches? Would it be better if the door opened the opposite way? What size should the sofa be, given the room is 4.1x4.2m? I have attached a diagram of the room layout and what I am thinking currently. Any suggestions welcome! Thank you!...See Moremefor

I would paint all the white the body color of the house, except the window frames and the door, which could be a darker gray (on the same strip as the house color).
NO shutters (as it is a contemporary ranch, not a cottage or Colonial).
If you were repainting and keeping the brick as is, I would paint the siding a tone of the brick.
If you were painting the brick I would do this:

10 years agoWhen I saw your post I realized you have almost the exact house plan as I do. Yours does look more modern than mine though. We have only had this house for a little over a month so we haven't done anything to the outside yet, except clean the siding & fence. (Pictures are before the cleaning.) We aren't going to do anything else outside until spring because of weather & we still have so much to do inside. The first things we plan to do in Spring are paint the door (dark gray I think), replace the light fixture, and get rid of those ugly bushes in front of the house.
We do have black shutters & a white door. Our siding is a lighter color than yours, but I thought it could help you to see what that looks like. Personally, I don't like shutters. I think unless they are actual working shutters, they are a waste. Unfortunately, I can't remove mine because that would leave holes in my siding. Maybe to fill the void in your house that others mentioned you could get a small tree or something to add to your landscaping. I like how a lot of newer homes have wider window trim and no shutters. Yours kinda has that look.
I think someone else mentioned it, but if you want your door darker than the paint you bought the store can re-tint it, usually free of charge. Depending on how much you bought, go ahead and put one coat on it, if you don't like it-change it.

You do have a nice home. I think the outside should be painted with other colors to complement the brick. I would also remove the shutters. The combination in this picture would be nice.
