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.

Also Oval Room blue. Bloody lovely colour that drifts between sage green and dusky blue depending on light.

Bookshelves either side of fireplace are Pink Ground and sofas are mustard velvet chesterfield and rose velvet loaf sofa.

Sooooo relaxing

Dark/warm yellow.

Teal/peacock on the fireplace and alcove walls, rum caramel on the rest. Teal/peacock blinds, bright multicoloured wall prints.

Soft dusty pink

Graham & Brown deep navy wallpaper with a gold embossed smock print that picks up light beautifully.

Then have a coral pink sofa to accent- it's a real statement and I love it!

My bedroom is Dulux Heritage Florentine Red and love that too!

f&b blue stone

Oops blue stone not stone blue!

Beautiful, I love bold colours.

Our living room is blue like the sky a summerday.

I want a yellow for our Georgian house and am choosing between Little Greene's ‘Yellow-Pink’ and Farrow and Ball's 'Babouche" or 'India Yellow.' When I was a child, I used to walk past a beautiful Georgian house with walls the color of egg yolk and gorgeous art work and have wanted that since. That's also the house that made me want a Georgian house, one that was symmetrical like a doll's house.

@Londonmummy66, do you pssibly have a picture of your Georgian room in "railings"? That's one of the choices for our very dark front room (house is set back so shaded by other houses, plus we have a massive magnolia tree in the garden).

@NewNameNoelle, would love to see a picture of the "yellow ground" as I am so tempted by yellow for our Georgian house, but wonder whether the room might be too dark for it.

A deep green with lots of wood and earth tones, with some dark/burnt orange accessories. Lots of plants both real and fake lol.

Not everyone's taste but I love it. It's bright during the day and dark, cosy at night. Very grounding and relaxing.

I do love all the bold colours.

We do. Private school - nursery to year 6,!included in fees. Year 7, now £5 a day pretty good cooked meal. Could take sandwiches, can't leave site for lunch until 6th form.

Ah, wrong thread, sorry!

Our east facing arts and crafts sitting room is F&B Middleton Pink, including the ceiling. Woodwork is whatever white F&B recommend. I love it, it's got a lot of blue in it in the morning light but has warmer peachy tones in the evening under lamplight.

Our west facing sitting room is currently a white playroom but once the colourful toys are no longer there it will go a very light blue, possibly LG bone china blue - pale. It has a large bay window so is a very sunny room in the afternoon and evening.

What aspect is your sitting room?
