Apartment Painted in Warm Tones with an Olive Wall
A bedroom in warm peach and a white living room with olive green around the fireplace.
Step by step
1. The bedroom
The bedroom got a warm peach colour that makes the room soft and calm in the evening light.
2. The TV wall
The same colour carries on around the whole room, around the balcony door and the air conditioner.
3. The living room
In the living room the walls are white, so the space stays bright.
4. The olive wall
A column in olive green breaks up the white and ties in with the pictures and the dark furniture.
5. The fireplace corner
The same tone is repeated above the fireplace, which becomes the centre of the room.
6. The result
A home painted in a few well-chosen colours, ready for everyday life.
Questions this job answers
I want new colours at home. Where do I start?A few colours repeated from room to room, one wall in a stronger shade if you want character, and a darker colour where walls get dirty easily. A strong old colour needs extra coats to cover.I want one feature wall in a different colour in the living room or bedroom. How do you combine it with the other walls?A feature wall works best behind a fireplace, TV unit or bedhead, while the remaining walls stay white or very light so the room keeps its brightness and white doors and wardrobes stand out cleanly.
