This soft pink, as close to OG Germolene ointment as I could get...

What is this? It's lovely.

Masquerade by Little Greene.

Ooh, any chance of a picture? I have been intrigued by this colour for a while and had it in my shortlist. There seem to be precious few pictures on the internet so it'd be nice to see another.

Interested in this thread?

My living room is F&B Stiffkey Blue. I still love it 5 years on.

F&B Olive (which for some reason looks completely different at the two ends in the pics I've attached...but it isn't). The chimney breast is Voysey 's 'Fool's Parsley' by Trustworth Studios.

We have two rugs (one old, one new) that both have a mix of bright colours and our cushions, lamps etc reflect these.

Wow!! Your living room is gorgeous. I especially like the first photo.

Fluffy robe of fluffy dream by dulux. Very pale magnolia.

White...my whole house is white and any house I've lived in has been white.
I add colour through paintings and furnishings.

A colour between duck egg blue and eau de nil white white shelves.

Paper is called Whispering Trees, it's pink with a little bit of glitter through it.

The other three walls are Dulux Pressed Petal.

It's the first time I've ever been able to have my house properly decorated and to choose the colours myself, with DDs help, and I love it.

I was beginning to think I was the only one who used wallpaper!

CharlotteStreetW1 · 14/06/2023 20:06

This Victorian Star wallpaper but it's more taupe. I'm a neutral kind of girl 😊

Dulux Egyptian cotton, the woodwork, doors etc are F&B off black

BebbanburgIsMine · 14/06/2023 20:10

@sueelleker

I know! Don't see so much wallpaper nowadays!

I love my trees, we moved in here four years ago, and the whole house was painted in a cream colour which had become very dingy, was so happy to redecorate 😊

Dulux Egyptian cotton and F&B off black woodwork

That is a beautiful room

Just re-done ours with Dulux Goose Down silk..a soft lightish grey, greige carpet, grey/blue corner sofa and white woodwork. Silver mirror and lamps. Really pleased with it… and agree with pp - no to matte!

Mummypete · 14/06/2023 20:16

Egyptian cotton here as well. So many people have copied us after seeing ours.
In our lounge it looks very griege but we also have it in a spare bedroom where it looks much more green so the lighting has a massive impact.

Whatthediddlyfeck · 14/06/2023 20:17

F&f skimming stone and stiff key blue

Oh, it's a fabulous colour. I spent ages deciding on it and it's gorgeous with oak and cream and deep reds. I'll try to get a photo tomorrow...

Youdoyoubabe · 14/06/2023 20:19

Dark brown.

LibertyLily · 14/06/2023 20:22

Thank you @TotoAnnihiliation and @DappledThings 🙂 It's an absolute world away from how the previous owners had it!

@sueelleker I love using wallpaper too but have succumbed to the dreaded feature wall because we've used this paper in two previous houses and are gradually running out. It's from the US but we fortunately found a UK seller with some on ebay ten years ago.

dkedm15 · 14/06/2023 20:26

Egyptian cotton (Dulux) and De Nimes (F&B)

Exasperatednow · 14/06/2023 20:34

What is the light like in your room? What direction does it face?

Ours is pink. I wanted a warm colour to warm up a large, dark room
