To paint the spare room the same colour as our bedroom?

[Napqueen1234]

Decorating the house on a budget. Loads of paint left over from painting main bedroom. Is it weird to paint spare the same colour? Colour is setting plaster by F & B (a sort of pinky plaster colour). It wasn't cheap paint so felt it would be better used than getting another colour. Obviously will have different bedding etc!

Yes, go for it. I think we're going to have loads of Cornforth White around our new gaff for the same reason.

I don’t think it’s weird.

I think it’s weirder when you stand on the landing of a house and the doors to all rooms are open, and the glow of vastly different wall colours catches your eye.

Absolutely fine - no point wasting the paint. With different bedding etc it will look totally different.

Not weird at all!

All my rooms/walls are creamy magnolia by the way.

Of course it’s fine! No point wasting paint. If you like it enough for your room, you surely like it enough for guests.
I wouldn’t even notice unless it was a really unusual bright colour,

Nope. Not weird. Cost effective.

Use what you have left, its cost effective and its a different room so you will dress it differently

Apparently the key to having an expensive, harmonious looking home is a harmonious "base neutral" around which the rest of the decor is based. Ours is grey - so all the redecorated rooms have the same colour carpet and all the rooms have a soft pearl grey as the base neutral
Go for it

All our rooms are based around grey so i think it would be fine. I've thrown a different feature colour in each but all very similar so everything blends in, but all the rooms look very different.

I'm currently painting my hall, stairs and landing. I'm going to have loads of paint leftover and I like the colour (light grey) so I am thinking of taking it into into the living room and my bedroom as well but having a different accent wall colour in each.

My whole house is painted based on a colour palette of 3 different shades of the same colour so I say go for it.

Eh? I’m not sure why this is even a question. Why wouldn’t it be fine?

at the idea of decorating on a budget using Farrow and Ball paint

I also think it’s not at all strange to use the same paint. All of our bedrooms have the same base colour with different wallpapers or feature paints. Go for it! x

My whole house is the same colour. Not Mag.

And the light in the room will be different op so will look a different shade anyway

No who would even notice?
If your guests dont like having a matching bedroom they can stay somewhere else 😂

😂 @Gustavo1 we have a friend who works at Homebase so got us a v good discount! And also why I want to use up the paint it’s extortionate!
