The carpet downstairs is grey and the one in the about-to-be-spare room is red-going-on-pink. Carpet color is negotiable in the medium term, none of the carpets being exactly straight out of the shop, but for practical reasons I'd prefer the repainting to precede the recarpeting.

The living room definitely wants colors at the lighter end as it doesn't get enough light to risk darkening further. Yes, there's exposed brickwork, which I quite like personally.
