If your sitting room isn’t white or beige, what colour have you chosen?

[DYIDIY]

Looking for inspiration. Have saved lots of ideas on pinterest but would like to see real home too if you are brave enough to share a pic (even of just one corner)? Planning how to decorate a traditional victorian sitting room with fireplace and alcoves. I tend to like soft blues with a hint of sage but still figuring it all out. Don’t want anything too neutral or dark.

Little green canton. It’s a tealy green and I love it.

One is F and B Inchyra Blue, one of F and B Dead Salmon.

Mine is wallpapered all over in a gold design. Edwardian sitting room and lounge. Curtains are a goldy yellow.

Dulux buttermilk

The smaller living room is a peacock/teal blue and the large living room is a warm lavender

Little greene Masquerade

Willow tree by Dulux - a nice light apple green colour

Victorian proportions with not much natural light, and the walls are a very soft, gentle golden yellow. Like watered down sunflowers. Not too dark in daytime and all glowy after dark when lamps are on.

A very warm but soft yellow. I love it.

Navy blue. We have windows on the south and west walls so it's a very light room.

Denim drift by Dulux. It's a big room with a large bay at one end and double patio doors at the other so gets lots of natural light. I was worried the darker paint would look too dark but it really doesn't!

It’s sort of beige, but also not 🤣 We already owned the furniture and curtains - with free choice I’d have gone bolder on the wallpaper colour but I had to convince my DP even on what’s there.

photo was obviously of the dog, but I figured you can see a fair bit of the room

Mine is blue & gold.

We’ve Denim Drift too @meganna
Curtains are Strawberry Thief

Pale green, can't remember what it's called now but it was Dulux . The beams are Dulux gentle fawn

F&B Green Smoke

Valspar tribal headdress which is a dark teal. Above the picture rail is white and the shutters and built in shelves either side of the fireplace are white.

The room is very dark as North facing and on the street hence the shutters but it feels cosy.

Curtains are also teal but shot through with gold. Pictures hung with brass chain, original slate surround for the fire and slate hearth.

F&B think was called either Green Blue. I love it.

Pale blue

We’re in a Georgian property so similar proportions. We have one that’s Hague Blue with white woodwork, and another that’s Yellow Ground which is a lovely warm and rich yellow that’s still clear and non-murky.

I find that older properties can take stronger colours quite easily and when we looked at testers the softer colours were a bit lost.

Soft teal in mine. Perfect if you like pale blues and greens

Sage green walls, gold mirrors etc and gold and cream cushions. Cream venetian blinds, plants and sunflowers in a vase. It's like walking into a big warm hug especially when the sun is shining

I love Mellow Mocha. I have it in my hallway and had it in a kitchen in an old house. It looks really fresh with brilliant white woodwork.

Apple white, which isn't actually white it's like a very pale green

Dulux Emerald Glade
