Colour conundrum. Please help!
I am trying to turn a room which is approx 21’ x 18’ into a child’s bedroom. I would like to paint the room a dusty pink like the attached images. We have also uncovered an original fireplace with the bottle green Victorian tiled intact, so I would like to keep these. I was thinking of a colour scheme of pink, gold and green to tie in with the tiles. The issue is the size of the room. If I paint all of the walls in the pink, I think it will be too much. I thought about painting the ceiling, original mouldings and the section down to the dado rail (about two foot under the mouldings) in the pink and the lower main part of the walls in off white but I’m not sure if painting the dark part on top works or not. The room opens onto a small west facing courtyard and the light in the afternoon is lovely, but quite dull sometimes during the day. The overall look I’m trying to achieve is like the third picture. Any advice would be really usefu!

hace 5 añosI definitely wouldn't paint the ceiling and the decorative mouldings in Pink, have them white. then I think you could go pink all around the bottom. It's a large room so will look spacious regardless of colour. If you could attach pics it will be easier to see.
I'd probably suggest ( personally ) painting only the one wall behind the bed in pink and have the others a soft white to match the ceiling. The green of the fireplace will definitely look good against all white.
I did find this all pink room though and it does look really nice.
Painting the fireplace white will make it more bedroom friendly too
Sage green will also work with your pink / white and the fireplace tiles

Y en la pared de la mesa colocaría 3 fotos en blanco y negro enmarcadas en un marco de aluminio. Esta sería una opción fácil....Ver másFoyer needing help!
(3) comentariosHi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout. Best \Marcin...Ver másHelp with wall art!
(12) comentariosHola MONICA: Gracias por explicarte. Si no te obstinas por poner fotos tuyas variadas y pequeñás, puedes encargar un vinilo autadhesivo, con una imagen de la más alta definición, que haga tu instrumento, o comprar alguna en un banco de imágenes. Procuras que la parte alta izquierda sea lo más neutra posible y pegas la imagen sobre el paramento completo, incluso sobre el frente del split. El resto, puedes hasta pintarlo a spray del color que requiera, para camuflarse mejor....Ver másPlease Help!!! with exterior

hace 5 añosI think a pink ceiling would be overkill. Stick to a white or off white for the ceiling. The lower part of a dado rail wall is usually darker than the one above so not sure if off white would look right. How about the other way round and have the dusty pink below the dado rail and off white above? I think if you chose a paler dusty pink then you could have it all over. Pink goes beautifully with a soft sage green or even a soft grey.

hace 5 añosDepending on how good your painting (or your decorators) skills are you could try an ombré effect. Either with the pink at the bottom or the top. I think it’s quite fun especially as it’s for a kids room.

hace 5 añosHave you considered wallpaper? We have worked closely with Murals Wallpaper and love the designs they have, they have an Dusty Pink Watercolour Design, we feel it would be perfect for a children's bedroom and suitable for when the child gets older too
It will add a modern feel to any room. This wallpaper is original art hand-painted by our in-house design team. The dark pink tones will liven up dark or muted décor by adding a pop of color.

They also have multiple designs available, take a look at their web-site.clara241 agradeció a BoConcept Manchesterminnie101
hace 5 añosDid you mean the picture rail rather than dado? If so, I assume the ceilings are high and the room could take a darker painter on the ceiling. I think it would also look nice with the walls painted up to the picture rails in pink. I think the colour rule is 60 (primary colour)/30 (secondary)/10 (accent) or you can split the secondary colour 60/15/15/10 so would think about what you're putting with it
I've been admiring farrow and ball setting plaster for ages and finally picked up a tester this week, it's shown in the last 2 photos, which may be another option

hace 5 añosI'm not sure of the average height, is it 8ft or lower now? I think it depends how much contrast there is with the wall colour. I found this F&B pic of the same room and you can see how much the darker colour visually lowers the room. In the last pic as the colours are similar in tone (well above the rail), it doesn't lower it. You could always start by painting the ceiling and then assess (although not poor you with the slipped disc). I think AA paints everything the same hue! I've got a little spare room and the ceilings are 10.5-11 ft so considering painting that one dark to lose the cupboard feel...
