One Room Challenge Week 3 | All Walls

Living room paint colours | @fallfordiy

OK, we’re halfway through this challenge and I’m starting to feel the pressure. I’m hoping this is going to be one of those moments that looks like we’re not making any progress, but all of a sudden everything comes together in the 11th hour for a last minute come back. Now is the time I need to commit to my plans and put my money where my mouth is.

But for the moment we’re back to planning. I’ve been going back and forward on the colour I want to paint the walls. I want to keep the room clean and simple but also add in a bold colour choice. I’m really into these deeper tones but the darker colours run the risk of being too overwhelming in this space. As this is a long thin room I want to paint a half and half wall, hopefully, creating a sense of height, without the claustrophobic feeling that might be caused by a full wall of paint.

These are my favourite colourful walls below. I’m really into the grey-green colours and just have to decide how brave and how dark I’m going to go with it. Which do you like the best?

And the fun doesn’t end there. Once I’ve chosen the colour and painted the walls I need to decorate them. I’m truly excited about this part. I have never curated a gallery wall before and I cannot wait to start framing up my images and hanging them in place. I just need some new art to freshen up what I have already. This means I get to go shopping!

While I would love to buy original paintings and large, framed prints I’m looking for something smaller and more affordable while still supporting artists and designers. And look who comes to the rescue. Society6! I found all of these gorgeous prints below at such a great price I think I’m going to buy one of each! I’ve put the link in below so you can too.

Walls does not stop here. You need to think about lighting, hanging planters and other accessories (we need to get some weavings up for sure!) but I feel like these can be more off the cuff and doesn’t need meticulous planning. Hopefully I’m not wrong. I guess we’ll all find out in three weeks.

Make sure you head over to One Room Challenge (if you have a spare few hours/days) and take a look at all the amazing makeovers! It’s getting real!

    I love the center right photo. The solid green wall, the white rug set into the carpet, all the touches of green around the room, just beautiful!

    Decorating a home is such a big deal one needs to have proper knowledge of interior designing before commencing the designing process. Here the famous interior designer has shared his keen ideas of designing a bedroom. Well, for me reading https://homeworlddesign.com/5-unique-architecture-projects-from-students-at-the-academy-of-art-university/ article is also very useful where I found new architecture projects from academy of art university.

    I think your room will be great! I love your ideas. I also want to change something in my room because it became so boring. But, recently I didn’t have time for it because of my university. I’m also studying at the architecture faculty and that’s was so hard to mix education and other parts of my life. But I even started to choose my new wallpapers after I found this resource https://samplius.com/ where people help others to write successful papers for university. I hope my room will be transformed soon, and I think I’ll take some of your ideas!
