Odear - How to decorate this wall

6 years ago

So currently (apart from the door and Skirting boards) it's undercoated.

The surrounding walls will be painted in "Rock Salt" Matt by Dulux which is a very pale beige sort of colour.

The door handle will match the kitchen cabinets

But what do I do with this wall! Really want something to de-bland it and add some life.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

    How about Vardo?

    Its quite a bright colour but the rest of your space is so neutral, it could work?

    @T Gray
    I thought the same. Its all too neutral and needs some character.

    You mean to paint the entire wall, door and panelling all the same colour?

    Some interesting artwork set in the panels could add colour and be flexible to change.

    Downpipe? Looks to me like a slab or darkness would help.

    I have already seen something that takes my liking and hoping to incorporate some colour for it to sit on to give it lots of character

    @colourhappy
    From skirting board to ceiling? Encasing the wall paneling and the door?

    Hi tonicuk, I would say yes to everything (skirting, door, panels all the way to the ceiling) for both colourhappy and my suggested colours. Then you wouldn't get a bad bitsandpieces effect but something that looks deliberate and part of the kitchen design. I was thinking of a dark colour like colourhappy suggested but I thought it may be too strong. On reflection and looking at your pics again, I think it would ground the space and look utterly fabulous.

    @T Gray - we are going to go with this idea! We decided to go with F&B Studio Green. We saw it and couldn't resist!

    @JAMEITE they look amazing and possibly something we would consider in the future :-)

    Studio Green is a gorgeous colour, can't wait to see it. The lights will look fabulous against it.

    Not bad?

    It‘s great!

    The door in the same colour works a treat.

    Well done. 👍

    Thank you everyone! Hope it stands the test of toddlers fingers 😜

    Any suggestions on what sort of budget-friendly wall art/decoration I could go for?

    Thanks again!

    It has brought the space to life

  • 6 years ago

    Amazing! Stunning! I wouldn't put anything on it now, I feel it would spoil it adding anything else! well done

  • 6 years ago

    Agree with Ellie.

  • 6 years ago

    If you put anything on it, it would detract from the lovely beading and the nice radiator, I would leave it, it looks fabulous.


  • 6 years ago

    I agree, no need for anything on it. You've inspired me to paint my snug this colour (its currently mid grey).

    On the other hand, if you want to be über-trendy...

    ED love it. I have a Rembrandt in my kitchen because of this Houzz photo ^

  • 6 years ago

    There’s a trendy restaurant in my town which has gone all Granny Chic with old paintings, William Morris wallpaper and fringed lampshades. So cosy.

    Yes, paintings in a kitchen can look nice, but I certainly wouldn‘t hang my Van Goghs over the hob... 😮🤣

    Tonicuk, that is really fabulous in that green! I don't think you need anything else on it either, it makes such a statement. Wow!
