Hi,
I've just done my feature wall in denim drift and was looking at either chic shadow or polished pebble for my other three walls but not sure if it will go. I have a south facing room if that helps also after lighting ideas, I've read to make it more cozy I'd need 3000k bulb in a warm. please help. if not any of the colours mentioned what would go with the denim drift. colours below are from dulux denim drift, chic shadow and polished pebble

Why not just do the whole room in denim drift? It is lovely.

It would help to know where you are so we would know if a particular rose would do well for you or not. On the color it depends on whether you want a lot of high contrast or a more muted look. White or pale colored roses will show up the best against the red brick. For a more subtle look you could do white Iceberg rose trees with a pale pink carpet rose. For a bright look try a yellow tree rose, maybe Julia Child if it's available, with carpet roses in white. There are lots of combinations and no roses really look bad with each other. You just need to decide what look appeals to you most.

I like the golden tone on the house; maybe paint the archways the same color, a bit lighter or darker. or the olive green. & paint that garage door the same color as the main part of the house. Garages overpower the house when the garage doors are white. (imho)

Do you know what colors make your heart sing? When I look through the things I have bought and things that I love there are a couple of themes. My closet shows that I own a lot of really clean bright colors that I wear in the summer (coral, lime, fuchsia, lemon yellow) and I also own a lot of purples, teals, deep reds, jeans, some white, cream, black, gray, no tan or brown and more taupe, white and cream than any other neutral. Yes I have a more colorful wardrobe than many. If I look at the things I treasure (art, vases, things) I see that my affinity for purples, reds, teals is obvious. In my home I have slate flooring in my foyer, which is purple/red/green slate (one of the things I fell in love with when I bought the house). When I picked the flooring, tile, paint colors for the rest of the house I worked with the things that I own and the things that I love to select colors. I am still renovating, so I am tweaking things as I go, but here is the picture of color selections with my flooring and art.

I would go with Polished Pebble. It’s softer. My friend has it teamed with a pretty yellow and green wallpaper and it looks great. I know nothing about bulbs, but I think any room is cosied up by table lamps and floor lamps and I have a lamp in each corner. A floor lamp is always great peering over a sofa. Creates a very cosy feel at night, in fact I never use the overhead light! Here’s some images, but I’m not sure of your decor style.

thank you. yes I agree floor lamps are cozy. I was swaying to polished pebble but they are both nice cant seem to make up my mind 😬 denim drift is quite blue, polished pebble has a yellowish undertone and chic shadow is darker but no undertone just a grey 🤷‍♀️ I'm rubbish at this 🙈

Good evening Sarah,

Oh I love colour!!! Will you be using an accent colour to set off from the denim blue? - just a few touches around the room in a contrasting colour could really liven it up and stop the grey overwhelm.

Have you considered painting each wall two thirds of the way up in the denim blue and then the top third (and ceiling) in the polished pebble?

I'd love to see how it turns out,

Regards,

Dominique
