We are buying a house that has lovely green windows but don’t know what colours to pick for furniture/walls to compliment them.

Any suggestions? I like a country style so am drawn to Susie Watson and Neptune but don’t know how to pull it off.

The green windows, oak floors and doors are in every room and we have a whole house to furnish. We are moving in with NO furniture Shock. I am finding the abundance of wood and the green windows challenging!

What colour green is it? I am a huge fan of white (bedding, crockery, towels etc) but in your instance I would go for a lovely light cream. My budget is obviously a lot lower than yours but this is the sort of thing I mean.

Dualit cream toaster

That's ideas for kitchen.

For bedrooms I'd go for high thread count ivory bedding and accent with whatever colour you fancy, checks would be nice if it's your thing.

Don’t be fooled I might have expensive tastes but the reality is I can’t afford it- My budget is definitely more Dunelm! I am happy to spend a bit more on some classic items but I won’t be able to replace things so they need to last.

If those walls are white then they look really nice against the green. I'm no interior designer but I'd definatly go for the same wall colour through and accent with colours, I think you'd get away with any colour even grey if it's a similar intensity of colour, so slightly muted. I'm a big fan of dunelm they have some lovely things in at the moment. Have you got the whole house to do?

This is nice with some buf throws over it.

Thank you. Yes we have the whole house to do and are starting from scratch - we have no furniture, no soft furnishings, no anything. And my family are expecting us to host Christmas! I don’t want to rush decisions and get them wrong so have told them it will be a different experience to normal… I have ordered a dining table, but no chairs yet!

I would definatly join all the local buy and sell groups on Facebook near you and have a look on ebay you may get some good bargains at this time of year..

Okay so cotswold green id stick with white walls throughout.

Id go for a combination of whites and natural tones (beige, oatmeal, deeper browns, wicker etc)

Soft pink elephants breath etc are very complimentary

Our extension will be a combo of green, white/cream, pink and black accents flowing into pink cream copper black with green accents (sounds weird but my DHs mood boards are 🤩)

Matalan do great lighting looks a lot more expensive than it is... also some decent soft furnishings

My mum has Egyptian cotton bedding that is 20 years old and it just gets better and better.
