I am finding it so difficult to narrow down and confirm paint choices- I didn’t think I was that bothered but I’m finding it very stressful to make firm decisions! Its for a 1930s 3 bed semi and the decorator likes to use Dulux. Would really appreciate thoughts or advice!

Bedroom 1 (master NW facing)- Fresh sage
Bedroom 2 (DD age 6)- says she wants a green and blue bedroom. We thought Emerald glade on two opposite walls, and dulux timeless on the other two.
Bedroom 3 (DS age 3)- he wants a red room but I said they don’t make red paint for walls! He currently has sea urchin on two opposite walls and white on the other two which works so I’m tempted to repeat it.
My upstairs concerns are that it’s two greeny/blue but then I love those colours so maybe it’s ok?

Hall, stairs, landing I feel like a white of some
sort as we might add panelling later. Timeless again probably.

Living room is NW facing but I like the idea of it being a cosy/snug so looking at a colour match for Craig & Rose French turquoise- again, too blue/green?!

Dining room/kitchen is open plan- Egyptian cotton? Everyone seems to rave about it and DH liked it. I thought it could work. I want dark green kitchen units so would it work with that?

Bathroom I think will go navy with white tiles.

Am I just needlessly overthinking it all? I think I just need a gentle pat and to be told it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things!

Hopefully your decorator has an account with a Dulux Decorator Centre and will be getting trade paint from there and passing on their discount.

Do you have to decide on the colours for everywhere all at once? Get a roll of lining paper and testers and get painting samples to try in different places around the different rooms.

If you were to use the same colours in your son's room, you could use red as an accent colour for accessories, etc.

Go with the colours you like.
