11 anni fa

I have painted the walls in my living/dining room white and i can't decide what colour to do my kitchen. I could do a blue/grey to pick up the accent colours of my sideboard and picture or white or any other suggestions????

Is the first picture part of your kitchen? If so, I'd leave the color as is. Beautiful!

Indecisa sul tocco di colore

oggi ho provato questo....è un verde molto tenue...e immaginandoci in abbinato anche le sedie devo dire che non mi dispiace....manca ancora il tappeto in grigio (la lavanderia dopo un mese non me lo ha anvora consegnato )...ho aggiunto qualche piantina giusto per riprendere il colore. Magari sulla parete delle foto potrei mettere una decorazione in metallo che ne richiama i colori tipo questa: cosa ne pensate?? In giro non si trovano molte cose di altri colori tipo nel color carta da zucchero...dovrei farmeli fare su misura ma prima di spenderci definitivamente preferisco fare le prove (questi al più li riporto indietro...non mi creano problemi)...una volta deciso comunque mi farei fare tutto ad hoc così sono sicura di riprendere la stessa gradazione tra i tessuti....

colonna di cemento (orribile) in mezzo alla terrazza
Q
(43) commenti
Mi sembra di capire che Maria abbia trovato la sua soluzione. La panca che gira attorno alla colonna. In effetti l'idea di Lucia è geniale e non vincola la terrazza ad un uso preciso, visto che una seduta è comoda in ogni caso. Belle foto ninanuvoletta, ho visto che sei davvero molto attiva qui sul forum e ti prodighi sempre per dare consigli, è una cosa davvero bella. Mi permetto solo una considerazione sul flame: quando si riporta un pensiero per iscritto è facile incorrere in fraintendimenti perché il tono non è interpretabile, per questo personalmente cerco di non alzare mai i toni. Capisco cosa intendevi col tuo sfogo ninanuvoletta, l'ho notato anch'io a volte, ma in questo caso specifico non credo ci fosse un'intenzione aggressiva: non tutte le persone conoscono bene la netiquette, probabilmente l'architetto non intendeva urlare. Maria è molto diretta e chi legge magari ha interpretato questa sua sinteticità come una mancanza di apprezzamento. A volte capita di non capirsi: del resto veniamo tutti da contesti diversi, età diverse, con modi di parlare e porsi diversi e a volte manca una base comune per comunicare efficacemente. La collaborazione è una delle cose più belle ma ha le sue spine .

Dilemma soggiorno arredamento.
Q

La cosa più semplice è definire la parete attrezzata con il camino integrato, non arredare per pezzi. In questo modo avrai una maggiore armonia tra i vari elementi che non sembreranno arrivati per caso. La parete che hai mostrato ad esempio non è nello stile industrial minimal di cui parlavi... Io partirei dal camino e progetterei l'intera parete in modo lineare.

Camera matrimoniale particolare

Scusa Fx se in qualche modo cancello il tuo sogno, ma la camera è poco più di 14 mq, mi sembra impossibile riuscire a creare una cabina armadio considerando che il letto è molto ampio. Io penserei a ridurre a 80 cm la porta, poi appena entrati sulla sx e dietro la porta una scarpiera o porta oggetti di spessore 30 cm, poi un armadio a L con ponte sopra il letto, solo così puoi avere il giusto passaggio attorno al letto. Davanti al letto un mensolone a misura che si tramuta in scrivania o toeletta vicino alle finestre (come quello disegnato dall'arch. Bagnasco nella ultima opzione!). Ti direi di ripostare il disegno che hai magari scannerizzandolo in maniera da poter disegnare gli angoli giusti. Ciao

If you like the white wall, you could just make simple color bands that surround the white wall. In this way, the blank remains the main color, but it will be noticed more surely. The color for the bands could be blue / gray as you said.

I would agree that the colour of the furniture and the flooring are warm tones and do not match the cool grey tones on the wall. A couple of pictures with both tones and some brighter colours would change the focus to the brighter colours in the pictures. Another idea is to find a picture that you just love and use the colours in the picture for your colours in your house. This will likely give you a palate of coordinating colours to use for paint colours, bedding, towels, curtains and accessories. Many paint supply places can scan a piece of paper, fabric etc and mix your paint a very close match to the colour of your sample. If you don't like the intensity of the colours in the picture, just get them to put in a quarter of the normal amount of tint for that colour. If it is too light or too dark then have them adjust the amount of tint added. Having said this some individuals are drawn to subtle neutrals so have a look at posters etc with those types of colour harmony as well

I hope this helps and good luck.

Thank you all for you comments. The problem is the cabinets in my kitchen are off white which is why I was leaning towards the idea of painting the walls blue/grey. Can't afford to change the kitchen. Any suggestions for the light above the dining room table?

I like the one you have there now. Is there a different style you prefer? Look at lighting showplaces to see what you like. The whole area looks minimalistic so you could really go anyway you want.
Sorry... I am not much help...

That is true... your picture is your focal point. Well, the one you have looks good and doesn't try to take over for attention.

Another option would be to go 3 shades lighter than your wall color shown in the connecting room.

Go ahead and paint it white like the other walls. I think that would look great. If at some point you want to go back to colors, it will be a very easy job. But for now it will give you a very classy, integrated look!

I would recommend painting it white and wallpaper the long wall in Darcy from Graham and Brown. It would give the room elegance. Your spaces are beautiful.

an idea for your lighting, you have a lovely picture on the wall so why not look at getting a down light or a snazzy spot light and point it at the picture to make it more of a focal point.

It looks like the rest of the areas visible in the photo, are all painted white, except the front room which is grey/brown. So I would paint the rest white. I do like the grey/brown color though. The color is a good background for the earthy textures of the furniture, but it's too much brown and does not match the rest of the rooms. I agree to match the color of your cabinet or one of the grey/green tones of your painting in the dining room might work. Apply it to just one of the walls visible from the grey/brown room.

@frecklefrog: The trend is ceiling mount lighting for your dining room, I would go with a nice stylish semi-mount ceiling chandelier like picture attached. You know, to go with your elegant wallpaper space. Can't wait to see updated pictures. Good luck!

love these rooms and color combo. Honestly wouldn't change it. The only element I'd consider adding or changing is a small rug here or there and a large thing or two on the console - getting rid of the little things on it.

@ Susan Shea Thank you for your kind comments. The console has a wooden basket for keys, a candle and a wooden plate for fruit which doesn't have any fruit on it in the picture. I have had several rugs but I have a very hairy dog and he just makes rugs dirty and likes to throw up on them for some reason aarrgghhh. I have to have the picture montage on the sideboard because I am a Brit living in Canada and I miss my family very much so need to have pictures of them and thought this was the most tasteful way to do it.

This is going to sound bizarre, but may I suggest a midnight snack for your dog? We had one with that particular habit each morning, and it turned out it was just from an empty tummy over night. One dog biscuit before bed and an early breakfast solved the problem.
Okay, back to design issues.

Go for the Sea salt, a fresh grey blue. it will contrast nicely with the wood and match your console there. White is only successful if ALL is white otherwise it looks like no personality there.. Be brave and take the plunge. Is that your dog on top of the cushions? What a life!

I recently (last week) had my entire first floor painted "natural linen" by glidden. I love it! It is such a light airy color and it complements my cream trim well. My hard wood is a very similar color to yours and it looks great. I picked the swatch up at Lowes or Home Depot. Unfortunately, I had Revere Pewter (BM) painted in the office and it looked horrible with my cream trim, so I am going to have to repaint that room... Hope that helps.

I too love the kitchen color but if you want a lovely blue-gray try Ben. Moore Beach Glass to soften all the visual angles and lines going on in this area and it will compliment the off white cabinets. If you have the space, have you thought about swapping the dining room and kitchen credenzas and putting a taller lamp with COLOR in the dining room ? As far as the chandelier, check out this link lig http://www.shadesoflight.com/mesh-screen-shade-chandelier.html. Might be tough on the budget but the color of the fixture will bring interest to your ceiling. A nice driftwood chandelier would be pretty too.

Hi Freckle Frog I really like what you've got going there. And I actually think the dining room light matches your art work -- the curved stems and the cup shape of the lights mimics a bunch of tulips.

Colour wise, for your kitchen I think whites with your existing cabinets could be too tricky.

The neutral, pale greys with a touch of green tones will pick up the colour of the dining room cabinet and blend beautifully with any type of cream kitchen cabinet.

I would stay clear of blue grey -- unless there's lots of red brick and heavy timbers in the room, it is just too cold for too long up north of the 49th!

I used Farrow and Ball's pale powder in my north facing office in Vancouver and it feels warm through the sleety winters and cool enough in the summer.

*Bonus* Farrow and Ball paints are from Britain, and the colour palette reflects the colour schemes of Cotswold cottages and London townhouses. They have sample tins! Try skylight, light blue or pale powder. These may also satisfy your sense of nostalgia a bit.
