Try spoonflower!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501361 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 08:34:20 +0000 snowjewelz 2501361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks great!! I voted for blue all the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501345 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 08:20:53 +0000 pwnstar 2501345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grey (with a touch blue to tie in the other wall color) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501341 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 08:18:03 +0000 Umbreon 2501341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually really like the way it looks right now. I think if you paint it blue, it will look smaller, and I think the yellow will take away from the nice blue wall there already. Like other people suggested, you could add some accessories to the windowsill to add some more colour on the other wall. Or you could add a valance along the top of the window, so you can still have the open window like you want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501339 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 08:16:16 +0000 chopsuey 2501339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your kitchen looks so good!!!!<br /> Would it be a major pain to paint over that blue with the yellow.. And then do the right wall blue? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501323 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 08:01:48 +0000 nana87 2501323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the blue or white, and save the yellow for accents like vases, flower pots, or other decorations. or small appliances--we have a yellow stand mixer that would fit your kitchen well! I love the colors of the mug, btw--your new kitchen is gorgeous :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501305 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 07:34:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2501305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the problem with that mug as inspiration is you need to figure out what are your base colors and what are your accent colors. I think your base colors are brown, creme and blue. Let those cover majority of the space. Then use the yellow orange and red as accents in art, fabrics, and stuff on the counters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501303 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 07:23:21 +0000 Modern Daisy 2501303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the taupe color in the mug for that wall! It goes great with the blue and will really make your beautiful kitchen and the blue wall stand out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501297 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 07:08:38 +0000 winniebee 2501297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: that's a nice idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501278 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 06:39:47 +0000 peachykeen 2501278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since the cabinets are cream, I would probably do the wall a lighter version of the blue (essentially the same blue mixed with some white). Enough color so it's not white, but still pretty neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501274 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 06:17:50 +0000 avivoca 2501274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would leave it white or the cream color of the cabinets and bring in yellow with the accessories. Things you will actually use if you hate accessories, like a towel or a kitchen rug. I love all the windows in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501271 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 06:12:45 +0000 winniebee 2501271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it white! Or keep all blue. Maybe a bowl of lemons, yellow dishrags, yellow tea pot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501270 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 06:07:22 +0000 Adira 2501270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it white. I think painting it blue might make your kitchen seem darker and smaller. White helps keep it bright and more open! Just put some art on that wall and you're good to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501269 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 06:06:24 +0000 Ms maths 2501269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if you did yellow around the inside of the window on the white wall? Maybe a pale yellow so it doesn't compete too much with the brightness of the blue?</p> <p>I think I see a teapot? Maybe switch that to something yellow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501266 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 05:48:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2501266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not do that shade yellow. Too bright bold and would distract from the view of the window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501265 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 05:48:29 +0000 brownepiano 2501265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate white walls so I voted paint it yellow! I also think blue would look nice. The only thing I would question is if two colors would be too much on a small kitchen. Could you do a lighter version of the yellow so instead of two colors it looks like a color and a 'neutral'? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501261 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 03:16:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2501261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I like the bare windows too. Just making sure my advice meant the pops of color wouldn't compete with perhaps colorful shades.</p> <p>ETA: if you opt for color on the wall the yellow is lovely and so is that peach color that's cut off on the edge of the pic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501259 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 03:11:21 +0000 FannyMae 2501259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: maybe something like a small flowerpot/succulent on the windowsill, or the colour of the stools. salt/pepper pot, a small ceramic vase? you could even bring those colours into a nice mug/dish set that you can use or display. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501258 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 03:08:33 +0000 Cherrybee 2501258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: We are pretty minimalist, I wasn't intending to have accessories. What kind of accessories were you thinking? </p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: We were not going to have any window dressings. I like the windows plain and the garden is very private. The cabinets are cream. </p> <p>Here is the other wall. It looks so bare and unfinished in the white (though this is only undercoat). </p> [attach=2581/16/o4dqm9.600x337.WP_20160321_07_44_21_Pro.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501255 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 03:01:55 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2501255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The kitchen looks fantastic :happy: I like the painted white wall mimicking the white cabinets on the other side.</p> <p>I would bring in more color with the bar stools and small piece of art near the door and lightswitch. Window treatments? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501254 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 03:00:12 +0000 FannyMae 2501254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>looks gorgeous! I think it looks good white, its a nice contrast to the blue. maybe some yellow accessories to bring into it instead? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-colour-should-we-paint-this-wall#post-2501252 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 02:58:27 +0000 Cherrybee 2501252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and, for fun, here are the before pictures!

Just the other half and the woodwork (skirting, doors) to go! But, we've hit a problem. He no longer thinks the colour we chose for one of the walls is right. </p> <p>We were initially inspired by Orla Kieley's Stem design (as shown on this mug). We were going to paint the walls the blue and yellow to create a sense of a sunny day, streaming through the windows from our garden which, in bloom, is rather lovely. But now DH thinks he might prefer the blue all the way around, or even keeping the other side white. I'm not sure, because I really, really loved the yellow idea...... but I see what he means.....</p> <p>The wall in question I the one on the right of the picture, by the breakfast bar (which will have 4 wooden stools when we've painted). </p> <p>Help! :happy: </p> [attach=2581/16/o4dq2c.600x337.WP_20160321_07_44_55_Pro.jpg] [attach=2581/16/o4dq2d.261x261.pps_AppData_INTERNETEXPLORER_Temp_Saved-Images_231235484--2-.jpg]
