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?

I have a light green on most of the walls and sky blue on one. The curtains are sky blue with a large bright pink/red/green flower pattern. The sofa is hot pink. It is all fabulous and beautiful and makes everyone smile when they come in. Recommended.

Creamy white with a feature wall of Dulux Dusted Fondant which is a pretty pale plum colour. Love it.

Pale blue with one slate grey wall. All four walls the colour stops about a foot from the ceiling and then it’s white. All soft furnishings are similar grey or blue tones

We have Crushed Aloe, like @Llanali.

We have the lighter Willow Tree in the kids' bedrooms. Both are lovely.

@InMemoryOfSleep it's Armstead (I think that's the trade name for Dulux, DP got trade paint through work so it was cheaper lol!) It's in Sapphire Springs 1 in Vinyl Matt.

We have Dulux white mist everywhere and chic shadow across the chimney breast / alcove wall.

Think I need my glasses changing. I read that as crushed Alice

Ours is Farrow and Ball Elephan's Breath. Sounds batshit but the colour is a super pale taupe sort that is just the exact shade of neutral I love without being magnolia (which I despise).

The furniture is all solid oak and the rug is a pale rose sort of pink with similarly coloured curtains and cushions in shades of pinks, taupes and greys. I'm a huge fan of neutrals in here as it's quite a big room and the shades help it look warmer.

All white walls. Blonde wood floor.

Magenta cushions, teal rug, grey sofas, dining table and other bits around (eg. Door) are greeny-glass.

I like it!!

Ours is white with a feature wall in suede paint - currently chocolate but want to change to grey - laminate shiney wooden type floor in a caramel type colour (not distressed!) Got black granite and white marble fire surround and white curtains with black peonies in raised velvet type design - peacock blue colour corner sofa and a white sofa for the kids (washable!!)

I want either white tiles or wood effect tiles in a lounge/dining/kitchen area ...

Grey (F&B Blackened)

Purple with yellow skirting boards and silver round the mantelpiece.

Pale green walls (Dulux Wellbeing), white skirting boards, ceiling and furniture. Curtains etc vary - currently mostly darker green.

grey wall - the rest white - orange accents and grey/orange curtains

it's 3 years old and dated now so going to change it soon

Grey and pale yellow, white wooden shutter blinds and furniture

I love it, nice and relaxing

We're in desperate need of new paint in the living room. It's North-facing and have seen two schools of thought, either make it bright and warm or else go with a dark but cosy colour. The floor is oak and we have a black slate fireplace with oak mantlepiece.

choccy I was like you, I had originally chosen a shade called sapphire salute to go with the pebble shore on the other 3 walls but Amy friend pointed out that it’s such a big living room it may feel too cold in the colder months which made me go for a warmer feature shade, heart wood I think it’s called, Dulux colour of the year 2018 apparently!

Egyptian sand yellow walls, gloss white woodwork, very vanilla ice cream colours. Tiled floor, pale beige, slightly textured so the ddog doesn’t slip.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned but dulux have an app where you can apply your 'chosen colours' to the wall via a photo

This might be really old news but I found it today and think it's amazing

We’ve just done ours in a light sage green, it’s beautiful and I love it!

Dulux nutmeg white

'F&B Clunch' a lovely greenish greyish white. Light but not highly reflective and restful.

Samanabanana where did you get that yellow paint from, it's a proper lovely bright yellow. We said our 7 year old could choose his colours for his bedroom for a feature wall and he chose yellow, but the decorator got a paler yellow than that we wanted so we need to do it again. Love that colour!

Ours is pretty safe white - F&B Wimbourne
