Long-room paint query

Sarah

última modificación:hace 3 años

Hi I'm moving into a flat where every room is stark white, which I hate. The flat is north facing and the combined living-room kitchen is in a long room - 3m wide and 9m long that leads onto a balcony. The kitchen is at the opposite end to the balcony so doesn't really get any natural light. I am struggling to decide on a colour. The kitchen has bright white cabinets, so I was thinking something along the lines of F&B Borrowed Light or Skimming stone. However, I usually like some colour on my walls and these feel too neutral. does anyone have any suggestions?

    What is the flooring like? Can you post some photos? Little Greene have just produced a new brochure which is all about Stone Colours, lots of warms, taupes, olives, and some beautiful muddy red browns. You can order it if you go to Little Greene and if you have Instagram there is quite a bit of coverage. This is because, at long last, the whole cool grey thing is now on the wane, it doesn't mean that it isn't still workable, just that it isn't the only thing being promoted thank goodness. I can vouch that in a North facing room you need a bit more warmth and a bit more oomph.

      Some guidance re the ceiling would also be appreciated.

      Could you zone your room? If you pick 3 subtlety different colours and paint the walls and ceiling into 3 boxes, it could reduce the long room effect. Or go for not so subtle?

      Yes, it is very white - it has photographed very stark - but as you have indicated you like color, am wondering what color you have in your furniture? The photo's show that the blue rug and color framed prints stand out brilliantly against the white, so thinking you may find your furniture brings in color. The white does seem to help the kitchen at the end get some light, rather than being a dark area. It might be worth getting your furniture there to see what it does in the space, and then consider your wall color. You may just need to go for a warmer white to soften the space.

      Really nice flat. I think your Skimming Stone idea would work well with the blues, a sort of homage to the sea and the shore. I think you have a real flair. I rather like Purbeck Stone as Barry has suggested, or Elephants Breath as the room looks quite bright.
