F&B Green Smoke

[SunnyUpNorth]

Has anyone painted a whole room in this? I love it and am considering painting DS’s room in it, but it’s a north facing room and I’m worried it will be too dark and a bit overbearing. He’s going to have white furniture which will look good against it I think but can’t decide if the colour will be too much.

I've just been looking at it for my kitchen cabinets. This site has some nice images www.emilymaydesigns.com/green-smoke-farrow

I would say go for it but be careful with how white the furniture is as very bright white might jar.

I've painted my sons bedroom in Dix blue. It's also a north facing room. It's cosy, not too dark. Great shadows!

I also meant to say that a decorator told me that colours looked lighter over a bigger space.

Yep I have but I have high ceilings and I like dark colours. It's not that dark though especially in daylight! In another room without high ceilings I have painted 3/4 of the way up the wall then white above (in sulking room pink). I think this would work really well for green smoke

I think it will look fantastic, we have a smallish north facing spare room (gets flashes of light at certain times of day but otherwise is quite moody) and we've painted all walls and ceiling in a similarly dark colour. I think it's better to embrace the shade than try to lighten up in white to be honest - murky white is always going to look bad!

We've never used Green Smoke inside (yet!), but have twice painted houses externally with it - it's a fabulous colour imho and suited both the style of our Georgian thatched house and the Arts & Crafts one with crittal windows 😃

I'd certainly use it again and definitely indoors going forward - in fact we almost used it on our kitchen cabinets and would have if it weren't for the fact I had a tin of Oval Room Blue going spare, lol!

I'd use it on everything - ceiling, skirting boards, doors, architraves etc - which is what we've done with other (darker colours as well as light) in our period property 😉

Ooh thanks all. I checked back after posting this and had no replies so assumed there were still none!

We have oval blue room in our living room and I adore it. Have Hague blue in our study and love that too.

We are planning our new kitchen at the moment and I had been considering green smoke for our island units. Shall see how it goes in the bedroom.

The other one I am considering is de nimes but haven’t tested that yet.

We have very high ceilings and it will be white above the picture rail so I think that will help with making the space feel less compressed, it’s also a fairly large room. I’ll probably end up jealous!!

We’ve just painted our whole living room in Green Smoke and it looks so lovely. I am adding some navy and pink with brass. It’s moody and cosy and I love it.
