Comments (14)Aliceandjohn I think your best bet is to search Houzz for inspiration rooms and ask yourself whether you like white rooms that use colour, or rooms with colour on the walls that have neutral furniture. (Or both? Either?) Collect a whole lot of pictures you like and see what predominates -- what makes you say yes, please, I want that! Categorise them, count them, make lists, do anything even if it seems silly. It costs zilch and tells you a lot about what you want....See MorePicking a laminate floor.
Comments (2)The same flooring helps the flow of a house and tends to help it look tidy. Does the flooring in your hall match your skirtings or are they painted in the hallway? I think, stick with what you've already used and changed the look of the room with soft furnishings such as a cosy rug or smart curtains....See MorePaint colours for new house....help needed!
Comments (0)Hi all, Need to decide on colours for our new house quickly (4 bed semi in a new development) and as I am a complete novice looking for some sound advice please. I was hoping to get into some paint shops and get some advice and samples but avoiding as much as possible due to Covid 19. So apologies in advance for all the questions! Painting will be done by the builder and the only instructions are that we "can pick up to 4 neutral colours from the Dulux range which will be mixed in standard matt". He has suggested that Shale White, Savon Grey, Warm Stove or Tempting Taupe are popular colours so far. House has an east/west orientation with the front of the house facing (sitting room) east and the back of the house (kitchen) facing west. I have done some initial research on best colours for west facing kitchen and it seems to suggest that white is a good option maybe with pink undertones? We are going for a Kashmir kitchen with a grey island and white counter tops as shown in the picture below. We are going for laminate flooring in the hall, sitting and kitchen and I like the one on the left below. What paint colour would work best in the kitchen with our flooring and kitchen colours? For the sitting room as it is east facing with the laminate floor above has anybody got some good tips on what might work well? Neutral with shades of green or blue? For the downstairs bathroom I have read that white is a good option for darker (no window) bathrooms. We will be getting the tile below in the corner on the floor and the wall tile behind the toilet and sink covering half of the wall. The two bathrooms upstairs will be tiled. For the hall downstairs and the landing upstairs presume you would go with one colour throughout? Again is a white colour a good option or would grey work equally well? Finally for the bedrooms would you recommend to go all the same neutral colour initially (as we are limited to 4 paint choices throughout the house) and then we can paint individual rooms afterwards when the 3 kids start demanding their own colours. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shane...See MoreOrange flooring!
Comments (2)Hi Aisling, I definitely would not cover the wooden floors with Laminate, they are beautiful wood. If you are not happy with the color have you looked into white washing or lime washing the floors to knock back the orange a bit? There are a lot of products on the market that can do this. When done correctly, it gives the wood a lighter look while still being able to see the grain. I would speak to a professional about this. Maybe someone in your local hardware shop could help :) That being said, I am a huge fan of area rugs. Not only do they do wonders in covering the majority of the wood and toning down the expanse of orange, but it would add texture and warmth to your space too. Hope this helps and good luck with the project :) Best , Emily...See Moredfromthebdot
