What colour would you paint this house?
Having toyed with the idea of cladding and new windows and discounted it for the moment due to cost we are having the house painted as a temporary measure and then putting on a new porch. The windows are white upvc and so we can't paint them (or not easily anyway). I can't decide whether to paint the house white (in which case will it look too white with the white windows?) or whether to go for a very pale grey which would mean the windows contrast. If we go for the grey we might keep the shutters and paint these white (although my initial thoughts were to remove them).
What do people think would look best? I'm having to decide asap since we are also having the patio replaced and the colour of the house will also dictate the patio colour.

Kommentarer (8)White or black if you ask me! White if you want a more fresh and bright looking apartment, black if you want to keep it more in the color scheme you already have :-) Also, i love the carpet under the small table with the sofas...

Kommentarer (0)Choosing an Interior Designer If you are thinking of working with an interior designer, be aware that the relationship is, by its very nature, intimate. Given this, you reap immeasurable benefits when you take some time upfront to consider just what it is you want from this person you're about to invite into your life. As with any relationship, clear communication can go a long way to alleviating any misunderstandings. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, questions to ask prospective designers, and some hard-won tips we've picked up along the way. Assess Your Work Style Before you pick up the phone and start calling prospects, spend a few moments thinking carefully about your preferred method of working. This little bit of soul searching will go a long way to ensuring you hire the right person, and will help to lay a solid foundation for a successful working relationship. For starters, think carefully about your answer to these questions: At what level do you want to be involved in the creative process? Do you want to be consulted on the nitty-gritty, day-to-day details, or are you more interested in big picture issues? Similarly, at what level do you want to be involved in the product research? Are you looking for comprehensive, "soup to nuts" guidance, or do you consider yourself design-savvy and only in need of assistance with color, space planning and resources? Are you a visual person or a tactile person? Will you be satisfied with a designer showing you photos of products, or do you prefer to see and feel everything before deciding whether it is right for you? Do you prefer to be shown many options or fewer? Are you open to the input of others? Are you able to make choices with confidence, or do you tend to vacillate? What are your expectations in terms of a timeline Determine the Scope of Your Project The scope of a project to some extent dictates the qualifications and experience required of the interior designer you are hiring. If you are building a new home or addition, or undertaking a major renovation to existing space, you are likely already working with an architect. This is good. Architects and designers often work in concert, balancing the aesthetics of the home's structure, or "bones," with the interior furnishings and finishes. You may want to get your architect involved in the selection of the interior designer—whether it's recommending someone he or she has already worked with, or using one of the interior designers the firm may have on staff. If you're redecorating a single room or have a limited budget for a space that does not require structural change, you may not need an interior designer at all. You may be happy hiring a specialist, such as a color consultant, who can work with your existing furnishings and help you revamp the space with new paint color and fabric selections....Se flerehelp picking a sofa
Kommentarer (2)Super nice place with lots of options! Since it’s meant to be a sofa for watching movies in, the only right option (in my opinion) would be something that allows for laying down (or at least allow you to put your feet up). I would look for extra deep couches, something with a chaiselong or matching foodrest. I don’t have any specific sofa’s in mind, but a search on google on “flydersofa” or “dyb sofa” might help you out :) I also think some color would suit the space well :) - maybe a colored sofa, or at least some colored pillows in a more “neutral” sofa. The space already have a lot of beautiful neutrals, so a colored sofa would really stand out (in a good way) - but that is something that very much comes down to personal preference :)...Se flerered brick livingroom
Kommentarer (2)Nice room! Iwould keep the red bricks, but tone down all other textures. That means replacing the wood ceiling with a clean, white seamless non-textured ceiling. +Replacing the floor tiles with either wood, concrete or epoxy (which would look amazing in this space) I would stain the loft beams a darker, richer wood color, and consider painting the window trims black - I think it would give more of a “New Yorker” loft vibe. If you absolutely hate the red bricks, you could paint them over (but keeping the texture underneath). Or plaster some of the walls and keep one or 2 as an accent wall. In any case - amazing space. Hope you do something awesome with it :)...Se flereshelleyuk

7 år sidenBlimey, ok, new house colour is certainly misdescribed as Old "White". It bears no resemblance to white whatsoever
This is the front of the house in Old White. As you can see its an odd colour. In some lights green, in some grey and in some beige. I think its actually french grey but its amazing how different it looks now that a large area is painted.
Not entirely sure that I like it....
As you can see from the bottom photo, there is a mark where the shutters have been up. It looks like someone has painted around them rather than taking them off and there is now a build up of paint. As such I think the shutters will need to go back on.shelleyuk

7 år sidenDoes this help? Painted these for a friend, top to bottom: shaded white, lime white, old white, string. Bone White - is that Fired Earth? Or did you mean Bone by Farrow & Ball? That will look quite greenish but Bone White by Fired Earth is very nice warm grey. I've got a gazillion testers and been looking for a good grey. From what you've said sounds like Cornforth White would be the way to go.

This shows how misleading photos can be since I don't see the purple undertone in the photo but its very clearly there in real life.
