what do you think to this as a colour scheme for my downstairs

[carriedaxmaspud]

here

just linked the above to give an idea of the colours

using a range or dark green light green and teal.

i really like green, had thought of doinf a green and brown scheme, but thought maybe the brown could make it look at bit dull iyswim

out downstairs to totally blank at the moment plain white walls , light wood floors, white in the kitchen.
we want to add a bit of colour and life to it now

I like most of the colours except the lime green. I'd replace it with a milky coffee colour. I have a similar colour scheme in my kitchen and it looks great.

Keep lots of sparkle and texture too!

thanks for your ideas, oh i'd love to see a picture if you have one.

i need a bit of help doing this.

i have also thought of doing everything multi coloured

I thought this thread related to a different "downstairs" - I was most curious!!

lol !

haha Skimummy so did I!!

lol you pervs!

well tell me what you think them

Me too!

Was most perturbed by "using a range or dark green light green and teal", and was too afraid to click the link (am skiving on lunch)

sorry carrie got carried away, I think they'll look lovely and agree with everything CuppaTea said :o

this website is fab and has great ideas!

oh thanks mrs t.

oh dear ill have to try a pharse it clearer next time. you know what i'm like! what i think in my head doesnt come out right!

thanks for link will look at that now

I think it was posting this in Style and Beauty that got us thinking that way, carried

lol! yeah i see whay you mean

i serousily need some help!

I was beginning to feel horribly inadequate though - thought this was yet another aspect of Style & Beauty that I was horribly neglecting

I would give you interiors advice, but I am sylistically challenged.

I'd suggest going for a mid teal colour for the walls, maybe having some in cream if that's too much, then the woodwork in a very dark (almost black) greeny blue, which will make your pale wood floor look much brighter than if you had white woodwork.

Pictures framed in a colour similar to your floor, or silver, will look great, and mirrors work well against the teal.

Dunelm Mill had some lovely cushions last time I went - sparkly teal, brown leather or cream faux fur would look good with your scheme.

As for the other 'downstairs' - I saw a picture once of a woman who had a wizards face tattooed just above her bikini line, so her muff looked like his beard! Maybe you could try that!!!

oh thanks for that reply jancie.

well i'm not brave enough to do for a mid teal on the walls as itsa large space and might be too much, but as the light green is my fave i was going to have that as the main colour

heres a couple of things i like in these colours

You could always buy a few accessories and pictures that you like and then pick the best colours and match them with paint swatches. Or make a 'mood board' with pictures of things you like, fabric samples, colours etc. That's how the pros do it - saves time and money on buying lots of matchpots and painting different coloured squares on the wall!!

thanks janice i might make two mood boards as i have 2 ideas in mind

1 the lime dk green and teal
2 multicoloured brights
