Colours - which colour and where!?
Commentaires (0)This is the wall of my living room leading up to the stairs. We would like to paint a wall - hubby thinks wall with painting and chimney which protrudes from the wall. I'm inclined to think the back wall on either side of the chimney (more work). What do you think - we do have high ceilings... Now the second problem is the staircase...we will varnish the stairs the same colour as the parquet BUT...the banisters and upright were painted white at some point partially sanded and now look strange. I want to paint them because there is a lot of crevices and I think it will be too much work to sand it all done. We are leaning towards a darker colour - in the picture it looks black but in fact it's a a dark shade of blue. I was also thinking of F&Bs "Black Blue". I would like any and all suggestions on where to paint and colour ideas. Thanks so much!... Voir plusColours - which colour and where!?

Commentaires (7)Hello, F&B Black Blue is gorgeous for the staircase and I personnally would'paint the whole wall (including above the chimney) in a nice F&b yellow'colour, such as Yellow ground or Dayroom Yellow. I'm sure this combination of colours'will just be stunning. However I would recommend that you test the colours before choosing one (on reasonnably big surface,i.e. 1sq. meter) because once applied on a surface the colour might look very different than what we expected. F&B sells samples for 8€ and I really think this is worth it. I' telling'you this because I experimented it in my house. I was convinced one colour was THE one and still tested another one aswell by precaution and, once applied on the wall, the second one was an evidence. Good luck and pls keep us up to date. Looking forward to see the picture.... Voir plusColours - which & where!?

il y a 5 ans@Tammy, I have two different types of windows. The first floor (master bedroom) has double hung windows, so the locking mechanism is in the middle of the window. The 2nd floor (kid's bedrooms) has casement windows with the crank/locking mechanism at the bottom. The are the type where the crank folds up on itself. The depth of the casement windows is approx. 2.5". The depth of the double hung windows is approx. 2". There is window trim around each window that adds another 3/4". I don't need blackout liners. I do better in the mornings if the light filters through to help wake me. :) All windows are double pane. I haven't set a budget yet. This is our forever home, so I want to do it right even if that means doing it in phases to spread out the costs. Again, we aren't in a subdivision, so I'm not hurting the curb appeal by not having the same blinds in all the windows from day 1. I'm attaching a photo of one of the windows and would love your feedback. Please ignore the "dirt" in the view. We still need to do landscaping. The majority of our views are mountain views, but we are still unpacking and this window had less boxes piled in front of it.
@DLM, thanks for the link. You have a good point about the stack height of the roman shades. I hadn't really thought about that. Roman shades were appealing because I can make them myself, but I don't want to lose my views. BTW, I love your windows and paint color.

il y a 5 ansHey There: In your case we do suggest roller shades for the windows and panel blinds for any sliding door or folding door. You can use the same fabric for both styles which keeps it cohesive throughout the house. Furthermore, you don't loose the open feel in the home with bulky roman shades or any other valance style shades. Check us out at www.PleatedBlindsStore.com or give us a call at 619.665.9446

il y a 4 ansMaybe we have different ideas of what roller shades are? I think of these and I would say even if they’ve been around since the fifties (or whenever not quite sure) still think they’re too modern for your craftsman home. I think you said it was craftsman no?

il y a 4 ansDernière modification :il y a 4 ansBecky - don't know if you remember my room and link from up-thread but I've continued to follow your situation and thought I'd give you an update on mine since we have similar large, private settings and goals for views. Much as I love roman shades whether fabric or some kind of woven wood/bamboo, I just didn't want to cover up that much glass with the stack height. We did a test run with a textured roller shade on 2 windows in our living room. That way if we hated them it wasn't an investment in every window and we'd keep looking. Here's what we have, a roller shade behind a cassette.
You can see the texture, it's not room darkening but offers excellent light/glare control and privacy.
When they're open, they are very unobtrusive and leave the glass bare.
The cassettes aren't invisible but if you match your wood they will disappear as much as anything can. Mine are in between my wall and my wood color so they have a bit of warmth to them.
We are probably going to use these throughout the house where we need light control. Some of those windows may get additional decoration with curtains, and that's an opportunity to add some pattern and color. Personally, I don't think these have a modern look or really any definitive style look because I chose a neutral to basically disappear. If you chose a wood tone or a color of course they will be a focal point and that to me is where the clean lined modern look comes in. But as a first layer with curtains or even on their own matched to your wood, IMO they can work with any home or decorating style. Hope that helps. It's a tough decision and a lot of money, that's for sure!

We are having a really hard time deciding between the plane lines on the left or textured on the right. Privacy isn’t a huge deal to us as there is no one that can see in bias we just hate the cheesy blinds for the sliding door came with and don’t want to have to close up the whole window when the sun is setting and beaming me in the eyes from the kitchen LOL IIf anyone could chime in their pros and cons to each. ould be so greatly appreciative!!! Thank you !!!
