TO ask what colour your living room is?

[BreadOfJesus]

We have a big living room which is a mix of dark flooring and red decoration - bloody awful.

We've just bought light distressed oak wooden flooring which DH is busy installing but what to do with the rest of it?

I want it light, possibly yellows and pale greens. The walls are currently standard magnolia with a red flowered feature wall (I know!).

What colour are your walls and do you have a feature wall?

Will White all round be too much?

White at top, blue on bottom. White Daydo (sp?) Rail in the middle to split it.

Navy. Specifically, Farrow and Ball's Hague Blue. Then bright white on the bay window wall with navy velvet curtains. Dark wood furniture and mantelpiece, black wood burner in a white alcove. One light grey tweedy sofa, one blush pink velvet. Sanded floorboards and a big soft grey rug. Lots of lamps and a big reflective copper central light fitting. It is absolutely gorgeous, I love it. We have a big sunny conservatory so I wanted the lounge to feel cosy and snug.

neutral on the walls, any colour we have is through, rugs and cushions which i change around during the year.

I have a wall with yellow and grey geometric wallpaper then the chimney breast is yellow with the two walls either side are light grey and the opposite wall is yellow. We have a picture rail so from there upwards is white.

Our last house was rented and every single wall was magnolia or white. Every single room in our house now is a different colour. I think it looks nice but for all I know it could clash horribly!

Egyptian cotton walls, metallic navy chimney breast, white woodwork, oak floors, navy sofas, oak/white furniture. Curtains need replacing beige and cream area rug. It's a lounge diner with north and south windows.

Thanks Llanali this was the before (BRIGHT red carpet not shown) so I think we did well

Ours is sort of light mocha coloured with oak flooring and distressed oak furniture. I like it most of the time though it is a bit too Brown sometimes

Pale yellow, white trim, pine floor

White walls and woodwork. As Gin said, we have enough other stuff - non matching furniture, books, framed things to go on walls etc that colour on the walls isn't necessary.

All White. But one 'wall' is almost entirely glass- huge window, and double balcony doors.

F&B Pavillion Gray up to picture rail and then white above. White skirting boards, coving and ceiling.

@RavenLG that’s gorgeous - what colour/brand is the paint, if you don’t mind me asking?

Magnolia on 3 walls and striped on feature wall. Stripes are slightly darker cream and a beige, we have dark wooden floors. I love it

Please ignore the random clutter I'm rearranging the room!

Little cottage so very little room - pale orangey yellow walls (bit more yellow than peach I guess?) with a darker tangerine-ish orange in the fireplace (behind the log burner) and book case. Brightly coloured patchwork-y throw on the sofa, curtains are currently blue as I haven’t found any that I love to replace them with yet.

Clay white with fireplace in f&b light blue. Light oak floors, greige furniture. Going for a coastal sort of vibe.

We have one wall in Crushed Aloe and the others are Goosedown.

We have Elephants Breath on 3 walls and a beigey textured paper on the fireplace wall with a little sparkle through it (sounds iffy but is lovely honest). Floor and woodwork in light oak, burgundy brown leather sofa, light beige fabric sofa and a plum rug. Beigey curtains with cream roller blind and accessories in a mixture of beiges, greys, heather, light greens and light duck egg. Will add a photo.

It's a large west facing room with some sort of very light beige/grey on the walls which is a lot nicer than it sounds, no feature wall, maple wooden flooring.

Pale yellow here with a light rust carpet and mahogany furniture.

Dulux rosemary leaf, with pale grey and oak furniture.

I love yours RavenG! If I had a more modern house I'd love that. I'm in an old house so traditional with a modern edge suits it. I've always found bDuck egg to go beautifully with darker wood. Mine is Stepping Stone by crown and Josette paper from L Ashley ( they have a sale on right now if u fancy a feature wall).

Mine's very similar to Raven's without wallpapered alcoves. Oak floor, slate hearth, white above picture rail+ceiling and a rich, flat matt teal paint on all four walls. I love it!

Ours is a 70s box of a house - so magnolia to increase the space with a coppery pink fireplace wall.

I think it's called calico. A creamy white. White woold be too stark and I don't want full-on colour.
