red kitchen walls

Lovely kitchen Wayne, but cream sofa? with a baby Bean? are you mad?

I used to have a 'thing' about the colour aqua. Every room I moved into got painted in aqua, it was like living in a fishbowl.

Now I'm old I like old-golds, bronze, cream, the odd bit of terracotta (but I do have polka-dot curtains)

Wish my kitchen was as immaculate!! It's normally cluttered up with trays of seedlings, or spuds chitting, or even a sink full of pots and seedtrays!

Funny story about the sofa - we visited my family in Norn Iron and one of my uncles has built his own house and they have a mahoosive kitchen, with a sofa next to one of the back doors overlooking the garden.

LadyWayne decided she wanted the same so we bought a cheap sofa (the cream one in the photo) from Ikea. Trouble is, our kitchen is about a tenth the size of my uncles. Thankfully the sofa died but has since been replaced with another Ikea purchase that we'd had for years - a futon type sofa bed.

I still want rid of that - so if anyone's after a futon type sofa bed (the cover of which needs a wash)...

I have had red bedrooms and lounges in the past, normally only one wall though. Red is great. We now have a running theme through all the rooms with the same colour red accents. It ties the house together.
OH had a white sofa when I first met him.. 3 cats and 2 children later it is now dyed chocolate brown and now relegated to his office lol

I had a red kitchen in my old house. It was lovely in the winter but a bit claustrophobic in the summer, the kitchen wasn't the biggest
I loved it though.

I had a red ceiling in the living room with magnolia walls (I know, how boring), looked great. Had wedgewood blue ceiling in kitchen with white cornice & picture frame, also looked good..........go with it.

Red! Yuk. Unless it's wine of course!

It's my least favourite colour, but each to their own. What matters is if you like it. Go for it!

My pet hate in decorating is coloured ceilings, just can't get on with them

My walls are pale green as I thought it would be calm and peaceful (not that there's much of them after the cream tiling ends.) Recently I bought a tin of lilac to repaint. Haven't got round to it yet but when the daylight is longer - watch this space.

One of surely Alison - c'mon, we've all got more than one pet hate.

our kitchen is barley white with a wisteria rambling around the top edge. It really needs repainting now as it was done about 17 yrs ago.

Blimey! Not to my limited knowledge

Well the one in the garden wouldn't flower so I stencilled one all round the kitchen
