Two Fab Wall Colour Choices

Posted on 2010/10/30 by Mia in Burning hot!, Dark Painted Walls, Mild Wall Colours, Odd Chair Mix

I’ve got two personal favourites in the wall colour department. One speaks for itself. Black. Or very nearly black. Rather dark greyish than dark blueish is my preference. At the very top of my list are of course the elusive granny wallpapers. But one must be realistic, it’s both easier and more fun to paint. And less expensive. When the time is right I’ll find my countryside cottage with those terrificly worn old original wallpapers. And the second favourite is a warm comforting colour with no exact definition. It’s kind of pinkish and let’s call the reference lingonberry + milk. The wall to the left below is painted with Alcro’s Lingonberry Milkshake paint. Something similiar to this, but slightly less pink, more like the raw plaster wall right, would be perfect backdrop to a faded glamour scheme.

    Black walls are gorgeous…..I really like the pic top, is it a diamond chair next to the eames?

    Thanks for commenting, and

    me too..! We’ve decided (or I’ve decided for us..) to move forward on the pinkish powdry apricot-track. Maybe this weekend we’ll try some paint samples. Fells exciting :)

    Thanks for leaving a note! Agree, black walls are so interesting, so much drama!

    Not sure about the chair, but it looks very much like aHarry Bertoia. Only heard the reference “side chair” of this one (since it hasn’t got the diamond shape) but maybe it has a more exact name also.
