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?

Mine is dulux gentle fawn...goes lovely with natural wood stained rustic oak,skirting, door frames and rusk oak flooring...very neutral and comfy

Mines white ceiling and white above the picture rail. All four walls beneath the picture rail are Crown East Village

Picture is the same paint as demonstrated on Crowns website

MumofBoysx2 it was a random end of line brand in B&Q, no idea if you can still get it. I'll dig out the tin later!

OP, your original decor sounds very similar to what we had here when we moved in! Red carpet, cream wallpaper with flower pattern, dark woodwork.
We’ve since replaced the carpet with dark oak flooring and painted the ceiling and woodwork white. On the walls, we’ve used F&B Clunch - a light, greenish cream - and picked out the alcoves round the fireplace with Liberty Shand Forest wallpaper (dark green and cream botanical pattern). It looks sooooo much better. Rug and throws are blues and greens and furniture is oak and teak.

NB, the pic is the before photo!

Marshmallow snow by Sanderson. It sounds expensive but it covers so well you need less so not in the long run. We have gradually been repainting the house in it.
