What house colours do you have?

It may be timeless that we have as well in the hall/landing/stairs area - a very pale off white grey.


Kids bedrooms are white with wallpaper


Main bedrooms are both linen colour with duck egg (in one room) and orange tones in the spare


Kitchen cabinets are in a colour called 'mussel', halfway between cream and grey, with very pale yellow walls (sounds strange but it does work)


Living room is grey with a darker grey feature wall but needs redone!

The first thing I did when I moved into my home was paint the living room Suffolk pink, for that cosy cottage look. No pig's blood involved

I've always been a fan of white. White, white, white.

No time/money spent trying to find the right colours.
No time spent mulling endlessly over a colour you might not like in your room when it's dry.
One tin of paint, one brush, in the shed when you've finished.
Get a tin of it anywhere, everybody sells it, it'll never be discontinued.
Just touch up a bit of a wall, a scrape, or a whole wall easily in 5-10 minutes flat in the future.



I do like my white...

Same here. EVERY room is white, floor to ceiling (actually, the carpet is more oatmeal) but the kitchen and bathroom have white floors. Love it. Fresh, uncluttered, easy to touch up with a brush every now and then.

You can't directly - you need to upload them to some sort of hosting site ( a lot seem to use Imgur) and then post a link from here to there

The limitations of people's cameras, lighting conditions and variable photography skills will also make the exercise rather unsatisfactory.


As an example, here is a picture showing part of our living room, hosted on ImgBB. (it's a clicky)





Can you tell if the walls are blue, green or grey? With a bit of tweaking, I could probably make them any of those and I'm no expert!


(PS excuse bits on floor; someone had just laid a carpet!)

The wall at the back of the chimney breast is slightly darker the rest of the room including the chimney breast is lighter. Can't remember the colours without going to the shed for a look lol but I would call it taupe.

It looks grey in the picture

Re using different match pots on one wall, I did that once on a small piece of wall behind a vanity sink in a cloakroom. Painted it all a light grey and then stuck lengths of masking tape on at different widths to create stripes .Used teal,orange, navy blue, bright pink and a couple of other colours I think. Looked great and small rooms can take bold colour schemes. Hardest bit was getting the masking tape on straight!

Well our house is small with stairs out of the living room.
Living room is a light grey apart from a feature wall opposite the window which is an almost Navy blue. Sofas are dark grey and I have cushions in orange, blue, grey and beige. A mix of plain and pattern and different textures.
Kitchen is the same grey.
Just painted the conservatory Light rain which is a warm bluey grey
Stair wall and upstairs landing walls are white so that the white staircase fades into the wall.
Bathroom is awful stony coloured tile effect plastic panelling which was there when we bought the house. Hate it for all sorts of reasons but mainly because there's no walls to paint so only way to change colour scheme is with towels,shower curtain etc. Still, it's easier to clean than tiles and grout I suppose.
Our bedroom is stoney grey with an aqua feature wall.
Spare bedroom is a darker grey with a teal feature wall.
All ceilings and paintwork is white gloss.If there hadn't already been gloss on I would have opted for eggshell as it stays white longer.
