red kitchen walls

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

Perfect

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

Oh yes, loads more than one but that's my main decorating one. Ceilings should be white, can't stand them any other colour. Hoping to have a new kitchen this summer and am planning on aubergine walls although OH doesn't know he wants this yet.........

My Dad once painted a ceiling red. It so lowered the feel of the room that people ducked when they went in!
Another rellie painted his hall red. It was like being swallowed by a great gaping maw!

I'm not really a fan of red rooms. You'd never have guessed, would you?

We painted our bedroom a deep red a couple of years ago, I still LOVE it. White ceiling though. Its a lovely warm colour. Nice to wake up to in winter.

Well, I'm not going to talk about my dark red carpet throughout the living room and hall. or the sky blue ceiling in the bathroom.
Definitely not.
Hmmm

Ive just painted our kitchen back to 'rented accommodation Magnolia' as we're hoping to move (for about 8 mths now). I wall papered the chimney breast with a lovely retro red flower pattern and then accented it around the room (grotty wooden shelves & a new roller blind) and it made such a difference.

The chimney breast in our living is still Moroccan Red as I can't bear to totally remove all the colour from the house just yet, besides it matches with my lovely red leather sofa (consolation present for not moving yet).

HW - very envious of such a lovely kitchen (bet your roof doesn't leak either lol)

Thank you, but it doesn't look like that any more - those photos were taken the day I finished painting it. That was 3-4 years ago now, and we've had a beautiful baby boy since.

LOL - I'm guessing any brushed steel appliances don't look quite the same any more. I've given up keeping the daughters sticky / greasy / adorable finger marks off the fridge.

Our south facing kitchen is brightest yellow we could find and it really cheers me up every time I walk in there.

I love strong colours and on separate occasions painted the living room orange and lime green, then purple and pink. The latter was especially good. The children, now in their forties, remember all four colours being used together!!! Not so, but do they believe me?
In the same house I painted the north facing kitchen primrose yellow with sunshine yellow woodwork and twinkly brass knobs on the cupboards and drawers. The curtains were yellow gingham and it always looked as though the sun was shining in there.
I think your idea for a red kitchen sounds wonderful, Brengirl. Go for it!

Love the idea of a red kitchen or some bright colour on one wall. My husband like's blue so every room has blue in it, as we start to decorate I have banned him from any blue in any shape or form.

My dad painted our bathroom in a bright yellow called Sahara when I was a nipper. If anyone left the door ajar we kept going in to turn of the light!
