Please help.. I'm doing up a whole house and have run out of ideas for our bedroom.. It's a Victorian town house and we are using F and B type colours
Oval room blue
Pigeon
Vardo
Sulking room pink
Stiffkey blue

I have til next week when the decorating starts in a few rooms and I'm losing the will to live on Instagram

I painted my bedroom in f&b peignoir - it's a gorgeous restful luxurious colour.

I second the suggestion of peignoir, beautiful colour and a neutral that would work with lots of accent colours.

Thanks all - was perhaps thinking of something stronger but maybe a neutral would be good.
What accents would you use?

Doing the same at the moment for our bedroom. Peignoir looks lovely.
We already have warm grey curtains (I'm making) and going to put a similar toned carpet down.
I'm using little greene colours and considering slaked lime mid, pale lupin, ashes of roses, and roman plaster atm.

Thanks - carpet is grey blue slate so Peignoir would look nice with that

If your carpet is more of a blue toned grey I'd probably seek out a similar tone for the paint. Don't know peignoir but with a pink undertone isn't it warm rather than cool toned?

absolutelyknackeredcow · 03/11/2019 11:36

Good point - do f and b do a cold tone

We've just finished our bedroom in Purbeck Stone to walls. It's a typical Griege (3 coats!) looks lovely with Oyster/ light brown bed and Burgundy accessories
Our carpet looks identical to yours!

Thanks great ideas

We painted our bedroom Power Blue from F&B about 15 years ago. It needs repainting and we have decided on the same colour.

We have just painted our front room Mizzle, the boys have Cromarty in their rooms and the kitchen is String. All woodwork is Pointing. The downstairs toilet is Elephants Breath and we are repainting the Matchstick in the playroom and landing with Old White I think.

I love Peignoir, but is too pinky for me as our colours are generally blue/green/grey

I love F&B!
