I'm cr*p at deciding on new colours...
Our playroom is currently a horrid creamy colour. I'm getting the floors resanded next month so want to decorate first.
It's for DD age 7 and DS age 4. I'm attempting to let them get involved in choosing a new colour, when presented with the F&B colour chart they could only agree on Charlotte's Locks mainly cos that's DD's name!
The room is a decent size - about 4x5 metres - but faces north east and is quite dark as an extension blocks a lot of the light. Existing furniture = mahogany coloured piano, plain cream curtains (can't afford to replace these), an Ikea sofa bed this colour I think, and obviously too much plastic tat still. Was planning to get some new Expedit storage units in white.
I could just about cope with the bright orange colour on one wall only but I'm not that into feature walls! If I did, what colour to go with it (White looks too cold?)
It's also the first room you see at the end of the hall when you walk in the front door.
What colour might work to brighten it up? And still make it feel like a kids' space?
Thanks!
