We have wine/red sofas from Reids (now gone bust )

We went with greens,greys and reds and it worked out great.

My girlfreind did the painting herself and I "tried" to help.:)

Works for us,but may not be to other peoples taste.

We have greys and burgandy colours in the master bedroom and we have some greens and whites in another of the bedrooms.Then purples and light pinks in the other bedrooms.

Living room is a mixture of cream whites,biscuit and duck egg colours.

And the kitchen/dinning area...well you get the idea from the pics.

It all sounds a bit mad,but it works.:)

Every room in the house has at least 2 different colours on the walls.
Girlfriend likes to paint,as it relaxes her alot.....(especially when she has to put up with someone like me...:pac::D)

Really like that green- I was thinking of a similar colour scheme for our bedroom, to go with an oak bedroom set. What green is it?

The green is a green that we picked out from the green colour chart in Fleetwood Trade Paints.

The code is IRI25,and its soft sheen "washable".

Grey in a bedroom with oak furniture would look very nice too...(grey and burgandy/wine colour).

I 'm half stuck on the green, but never really considered grey.
Cant wait to have time to get properly stuck in to putting our stamp on the house!

Buy some tester pots for 3 euro and paint the various colours on some A4 sheets of paper.

When dry,simply blu-tak the sheets to the various walls and have a look at them in daylight and also at night,under the rooms lightbulb.

Then you will know for sure.

Thats what we did.:)
