Please tell me about it, do you love it? is it too dark? too cold?
we are currently the yellow and blue that was oh so popular in the ?80's and it needs to change!

Cream & rather dull. thinking of jumping on the grey bandwagon

TeWiSavesTheDay · 13/11/2013 14:18

Green. Melon sorbet iirc.

I love it!

dingit · 13/11/2013 14:21

Antique cream. Red Wine cushions, curtains. It's what I wanted, but there is something not quite right, and i don't love it.

An aubergine colour (Johnstones colour matched F&B's Brinjal for us)

Was a gamble, but I love it.

GoingToBedfordshire · 13/11/2013 14:27

It is very dark, but warm.

Eastwickwitch - I am your opposite! Mine was (up to 2 days ago) grey, going to cream. It's north facing and the grey was cold.

Matchstick - Farrow and Ball, love it!

ArbitraryUsername · 13/11/2013 15:58

Ours is teal (one of the dulux heritage colours, I think 'sky blue', but it's definitely not sky blue). It's lovely. Strong but calming.

LinghamStyle · 13/11/2013 15:58

Was a stony beige colour, now pale grey with fuschia pink soft furnishings. As its a room we all use I let the DDs have a lot of input Hmm

ArbitraryUsername · 13/11/2013 15:59

FIL was also really impressed with its coverage and said it was really easy to paint with. Grin

sweetheart · 13/11/2013 16:00

Ours is brown and beige with accents of a pistachio green colour but it's been that way for nearly 10 years and we are going to be changing the pistachio green accents to aubergine after Christmas.

Thereisaplace · 13/11/2013 17:54

Just gone to Little Greene light french grey which is a grey with a blue undertone. I love it. It is much more elegant than the cream we had before.

noddyholder · 13/11/2013 17:57

Don't get rid of brown it is the next big thing according to all my design friends Grin. I remember posting a pic of my grey living room on here about 6 yrs ago I think and was told it was drab and ugly it was cornforth white iirc. I have painted my latest development all EB and I think it is dated looking tbh but estate agents love it Hmm

TessCackle · 13/11/2013 18:00

Cream. Big black corner group sofa. Grey curtains, grey expedit unit. Want a new warmer colour for the walls!

noddyholder · 13/11/2013 18:01

lovely

UsedToBeNDP · 13/11/2013 18:02

Something beige safe & boring neutral from F&B. Needs changing really but can't be arsed.

Stony ground?

MyBoilsAreFab · 13/11/2013 18:04

Crown Period Colours - Lady Jayne. A soft pale grey. Did living room up last year, with painted furniture in faded F & B colours, brown tweedy sofas, and faded check curtains. I love it, really soft and calm but cosy too.

tethersend · 13/11/2013 18:04

Black. I love it.

Just painted the DDs room in Little Greene 'Furrow', so am properly classy now.

Breezy1985 · 13/11/2013 18:05

Mines Brown & Cream at the moment, though I'm going purple, have got everything just need some motivation to actually get it decorated Hmm

pot39 · 13/11/2013 18:05

Dulux lime green.
Think it was called chicory.
Chosen by ds then about 5 who proclaimed that cream we were about to get is boring.
White above Picture rail.
(DH is making money doing painting and decorating at the moment and hasn't a good word to say about Farrow and Ball paint- thin, takes ages to dry, recommends DUlux or a a professional's paint anytime like Johnstones.
Room faces south and I still love it 8 years later.
Married to a creative person and being mad about colour myself our house is full of colour, no beige sage or grey.

MrsApplepants · 13/11/2013 18:09

Pointing by F&B. V old cottage, low ceiling, inglenook, beams. I love the colour, a warm creamy cream. Doesn't fight for attention with the features of the room.

In our last house, two walls of living room painted in dulux dusted damson and I loved that too. Very different house though.

noddyholder · 13/11/2013 18:12

I love dark colours Little greene is lovely paint I like that colour tethers. I had brinjal in my own house and this one I am in now is to sell and it looks very chic but really too dull. Grey is the developers magnolia now. Its a shame as it is pretty in the right room but its over kill!

notso · 13/11/2013 18:12

Green, peppered with DS2&3's crayon 'art' and a few chocolate hand prints. Desperately needs redoing but can't see the point when it'll get scribbled on again!
