Earthy paint suggestions for a lounge

8 replies

I am thinking of a warm coloured paint for our lounge. Dual aspect east/west and quite large. Possibly just one wall to go alongside a warm neutral on the others.

I think maybe terracotta or something clay like. Not green as we’ve got that elsewhere.

any recommendations? Dulux budget.

I’m just using Jaipur pink from paper and paint library for a large east west bathroom. With off white panelling and existing greige tiles

It’s not flat like similar shades I tested so works well with the orientation.

This looks good. DD used to have it in her lounge.

Today I have painted my lounge in Coat “pudding”. It is a soft beige pink. I love it.

I've got COAT buon fresco on all walls in our second living space, it's lovely

Our 'snug' (no tv, just lots of books) is Edward Bulmer Nicaragua, a warm, saturated, earthy pink.

This is lovely. I’m not sure whether to go that bold or muted
