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...

That'd be fantastic, thanks!

And it is a fabulous colour I agree. It made me feel happy as soon as I saw it.
My only concern was how the low light in some of the rooms is likely to change it but I love it so much that I WILL have it on a wall somewhere in my flat for sure.
Thanks in advance!

Very very pale grey with a very very pale pink either side of the chimney breast

We've recently painted our whole house white and we love it.

With a green carpet.

We are planning on doing the room up after summer holiday.

Our snug is William Morris Golden Lily on three walls. Other wall is a dark green chimney breast with built in bookcases (also dark green) on both sides.

A dark forest green wall, and blush pink the other walls.

What way does your room face eg east/west? I started looking into which colours and tones were best depending on which direction my room faced and it revolutionised my decor. My living room is currently Denim Drift by Dulux. I've recently done my east facing kitchen in Free Range by Coat paints (they have some lovely ones£ and it's my favourite room already.

Our house is shades of blues and greens with a touch of grey in one bedroom. The lounge is actual F&B paint, dix blue, the rest of the house, we have gone for cheaper colour matched paints.

I think it's loft white- anyway some shade of white - and the alcoves either side of fireplace are a mossy green.

I'm hesitating between F&B Dix Blue and Oval Room Blue. Would love people to share photos😃

Oval room blue is stunning, my DDs bedroom is this colour (I can't share photos as it would be outing) but it's beautiful and I don't regret it at all! We colour drenched the room so door, woodwork and radiator are all oval room blue and it looks fab.

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.

Your room is stunning'😍

F&B Green Smoke and F&B School House white.

(Ignore the floor, carpet is on order.)

I have these colours too! My other rooms are dark brown, dark green and dark bluey green.

BigFloppa · 14/06/2023 21:26

Stiffkey blue

Greentree1 · 14/06/2023 21:29

Wallpapered, two different lilac toning papers, one very plain one with a bit more pattern on a few walls. It is a very big room, light (ish) wood floors and cream sofas.

Loafbeginsat60 · 14/06/2023 21:30

White with concrete floors and Persian rugs. Wooden whitewashed feature wall and dark grey sofas

GiantKitten · 14/06/2023 21:37

Dark red, whole room, last 15 years or so.
The cats like it Smile
The room faces west, so it feels a bit wairm atm, but it’s beautifully cosy in winter, esp with fire going.

Edward Bulmer Cuisse de Nymphe Emue, 60%.

It looks fab in my opinion.

DilettanteMum · 14/06/2023 21:41

Navy sea grass paper up to the picture rail and then F&B strong white.

StarDolphins · 14/06/2023 21:45

i have a big forest green chesterfield style sofa & terracotta fluffy cushions so have kept the walls white!

if I didn’t have the above, I was going to go for emotion cotton type walls and lots of golds

Cas112 · 14/06/2023 21:45

A musky green

daffodilandtulip · 14/06/2023 22:02

Sage green with dusky pink. Light brown sofa, wooden floors, oak furniture.

Literally did it last week to replace dark green with pink. Always thought I wanted dark green and hated it for the six months we had it.

F&B Stone white. It's a greeny gold colour. Looks amazing paired with navy and gold accents.
