Color check

[ewx]

LNR is moving out on Saturday. The house has developed some distinct bare spots, as well as the piles of boxes.

I've booked most of June off (work have a sabbatical scheme). I plan to, among other things, repaint at least the living room and LNR's old room, which naath intends to move into in July.

Looks like fanf was going for the Carlton decor option, :).

Dude, there's no brown.

I can't remember what colour your carpets are, or things like that, so it's hard to say. I seem to remember you have some exposed brickwork which is moderatedly dark, so I'd go for a fairly light colour for the living room to contrast with that.

If you're really undecided then I'd suggest you buy some sample tins, and some sheets of white card and paint them with the samples. and see how they look with the various features in the room.

Surely Naath gets to decide on her room?

You want to go and browse Homebase's kids' section; you can get magnetic paint and metallic paint and glitterpaint and all sorts. One of the perks of having your own house is you don't have to feel constrained to orthodox colours.

You didn't say whether the poll was meant to be taken seriously. If I'd thought it was the sort of poll whose results determine your decision, I might have suggested magnolia grey for downstairs - neutral is good for communal spaces, right?

Oooo interior design! I'll come over and help if you like! And I love painting too, and we've got scads of rollers and crap left over from moving. Count me in!

You forgot the "[ ] I have seen the house/rooms in question and am competent to comment" tickybox.
