Hi Samantha, I guess it depends how daring you want to be and how much natural light the room gets. I would suggest looking on Pinterest for similar designs and comparing the two. Having a dark blue feeling could feel cosy, but could equally feel oppressive. As you have high ceilings you have more leeway to play with dark colours but it depends on how you want to feel in the room.

Hi
I’m planning to revamp my dining room with a bold exotic birds wallpaper. We have 10ft ceilings with skirting, dado and cornices. I’d like to paper above the dado and have a really dark Matt blue below. I’m happy with the dado and skirting in the dark blue but unsure what to do about the cornice and the ceiling. Should they both be in the dark blue? Or should the cornice be in the blue effectively framing the wallpaper and the ceiling be in a more mellow neutral which is also a prominent colour with the wallpaper?
Would so appreciate your thoughts and advice.

Hi Sue, your plans sound very exciting. Unfortunately, though it’s not something I can advise on without seeing the room. So many factors come into play like the size and orientation of the room, the light, the furniture etc. If you intend to use Farrow and Ball paints they do offer colour consultations and I believe they are doing them virtually now. Might be worth looking into.

I am redecorating my living room in an Edwardian house. It is currently red, with pale striped wallpaper below the dado rail. I am sticking with red, introducing some Racing Green and need advice for below the dado rail

I think the coving question is down to preference. Maybe have a look on Pinterest to see what other people have done with a panelled wall and see what you like best. I’m not an expert when it comes to paint but it depends what paint you are using. You often need something a bit more hard-wearing for the skirting boards than for the walls. If in doubt ask where you buy the paint. Someone there should be able to advise on the best paint for the job.Good luck with it all.
