Hi - we've just moved house and have the decorators coming in next week. Our big lounge is East-West facing so the front (dining) part can seem dark in the afternoons but the main lounge area gets the direct sunlight all afternoon and evening.

The walls are currently Dulux Perfectly Taupe which I couldn't stand when we looked around but now the furniture is in, it isn't that bad actually. But we want something lighter and have a grey carpet.

What would be a lighter, still fairly warm colour that would go with the carpet? We aren't big grey fans really but the carpet's fairly new so we won't be replacing it!

(Dulux trade suggestions would be most welcome as that's what the the decorators will be using but any suggestions appreciated Flowers)

Polished pebble is a lovely grey, we have it with grey carpet, but I’ve just bought some grey curtains and they look completely wrong! Don’t know why but navy blue seems to look better.

Hi - we are decorating our house in bits . Did my living room downstairs in Portland stone and linen wash (LG) few months back . Now having grey carpet upstairs and did two bedrooms in ammonite(FB) . Downstairs is coming all beige but upstairs coming all grey . Looking for a colour with both beige and grey undertones for stairs , landing , hallway.
Tried Egyptian cotton, really lovely colour but my hall is quite dark without any window so feels darker on my walls . Any suggestions for a lighter version .
Thanks
