Am after some decorating inspiration ? for 2 spaces in our house. Have used Farrow and Ball in other areas of the house, which I really like, so any tips using their greys/whites would be great. Am not particularly subtle with colour by nature (see below for lounge!) but would like a more subtle, calming effect for these two spaces. Also, any tips on whether to use ?warm? or ?cool? etc..
The hallway ? it?s south facing, but due to the window and door it doesn?t get much direct light. We?re changing the floor to a lighter finish, so this should brighten things up, and there is a large mirror on one wall, but would maybe like some warm whites, but not actually white. It leads on to the lounge, which has two orange walls (Charlotte?s Locks) and others in dimity (I think).
It will also lead on to the back of the house, which is north west facing so a bit darker. Really would like to lighten the whole space, whilst keeping it practical with the comings and goings.
The main bedroom ? this is south facing with a large bay window. Would like a calm, airy look, but interesting and not blindingly bright in high summer (i.e. not magnolia!). The curtains would probably need to be dark-ish to help keep the room dark on early summer mornings. We don?t have any furniture to match at present, and bed linen is white. Thought perhaps some greys, unless that is becoming dated?but thought that would mean we can select some accessories i.e. blankets, throws, with a bit more colour to them and switch as required.
