The sitting room is closed plan which divorces the kitchen and the client will mostly likely purchase their furniture from a furniture shop

Comb. 2


Comb. 3


Comb. 4


Comb. 5



With what application/tool did you create the room features. I'd like to lay hold of one so i can try various combinations of colours for my rooms. I have also seen a handy tool at an architects that gives virtual reality(or a tour) i.e shows the entire building from any angle(internal and external)
The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

The sitting room is closed plan which divorces the kitchen and the client will mostly likely purchase their furniture from a furniture shop

smile closed furniture shop or the open air furniture shop.
If it is the closed furniture shop they can go with option 2, if its the open air furniture shop then they are better with a white ceiling and beige walls.

I sometimes find myself giving color scheme advice and there is one thing I always tell my clients. You know how a new song comes out and you feel that you just love it and can't get enough of it? soon after hearing it so many times you get sick of it and can't stand it. It's the same with wall paint.. Very bright and overwhelming colors can be exciting at first but after some time in the house they become an unsettling menance.


With this in mind, try to choose a subtle color pallete for your walls. Use the couch, curtains and other soft furnishings to add pops of color.

From your options I would go with combo 5

Alternatively, I would paint the ceiling white, keep the walls and the door as they are, then on this wall facing the door paint stripes in alternating colors or some other creative use of wall paint.

This gives you the 3 colors your client wants, bright color on a focal wall in a creative way and your client does'nt feel like pulling their hair out after several months of living in a screaming house..

my two cents...



Couldn't agree more


It is true that hues are not very good in the long term. That is why I have confined all to shades, tints and moderate tones.

Three colours are a bit difficult to harmonise.

Quite correct, the sitting room is closed 14ft by 16ft in size. It has one window of size 7ft wide by 5ft height.

Please use small palettes first see whether your
eyes can stand them then place them on the walls as you are doing.

Have just picked a simple palette which can go with brown for you.

Am not a color scientist sorry but lunch lazima utanunua.
