Hi there! We are about to start a renovation project which will produce an open plan kitchen / lounge area with a high ceiling and exposed beams in the lounge part. The house is a coastal property, but on a harbour rather than a beach. I'm a huge fan of colour and am planning a boho-type them with relatively neutral coloured walls and then lots of colour in furnishings, artwork etc. My issue is as to what colour to paint the walls. I don't like anything cream/beige/brown/ grey/pure white, so was thinking of a very light blue, or perhaps a white with a warm blue undertone. Any suggestions?

meager light in the kitchen, trying to find paint colors that would brighten it up, I was told whites would not work, I changed the old dark brown flooring to light flooring and now it looks bad big mistake, the kitchen doesn't look anchored, with the light floor, I need some ideas to make it feel anchored again, would dark cupboards work, sorry for lack of photos. Some suggestions would be great

I'm wondering about painting my bedroom in Dulux Titirangi which is the darkest sample on the wall. maybe paint the lamps in the soft green on the left. my partner thinks it will make the room too dark, opinions please! the room does have big windows but only gets late afternoon sun.

Hey there. Go for a cooler colour palette and draw the eye to a focal point at the end of the hallway, a console table, artwork, a mirror etc. A cooler paint colour helps the small space visually recede. In terms of the doors, going slighter darker will again make the space feel bigger. Go half a shade lighter on the low ceiling than the walls, using the same colour, rather than bright white, which will look dirty in the low light. Good luck!
