It’s very hard, unless you are face to face with a person and try to reason why their selections aren’t working. There needs to be a compromise or you two will dance around for way too long loosing precious time. Get some sample pots of the colours you both like, paint them up and see if the space cadet thing is still working for him. Make a compromise, add some REDS in the cushions or something smaller………… Just so he thinks he’s having a say.

Be open with what you can do with the red.

But seriously I agree with Mich, splashes of red with a neutral colour scheme would look wonderful Let him paint a few feature walls in red? Maybe a red glass splashback - Jo's looks great My karma ran over your dogma Re: COLOUR SELECTION IS DOING MY HEAD IN!!! 5Oct 13, 2008 7:41 pm i agree... but there is Red and there is red red hahahahaah im more than happy to meet half way. oh its a fun time in our lives arguing over what red is appropriate. thanks for your suggestions i appreciate them!

This time around we were extremely lucky to have a colour consultant help with our tile selection. Her and I were on the exact same wavelength, and because my husband already knew of her and respected her opinion, he went along without question...thank you Lord..... If it had been just me and him, he would say "but why is your way the right way" Even recently, I chose a gorgeous pendant light, quite feminine but very modern and just what was needed, we argued for about 1/2 an hour in the shop...in the end he said "you aren't going to give in are you" me said "nup" I got my light. Now things aren't always that simple. I would say don't decide on something unless you both agree completely, don't just give in, it could take a long time to make your selections but I couldn't live with something I truly didn't like. Good luck. I don't know whether I have given you good or bad advice there Re: COLOUR SELECTION IS DOING MY HEAD IN!!! 7Oct 13, 2008 8:00 pm Looks like I'm lucky that my DH and I like the same colour scheme. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!
