Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Dec 23, 2008 12:29 am Here is a pic of my living room with no furniture. There is a chair rail and beams on the ceiling. I am thinking of painting the beams a white since the ceiling is low. I am thinking about painting the chair rail and trim white also. Will this make the living room lighter? It feels so dark since I put in new windows even though my furniture is beige.
Also what color would you suggest other than white? The fireplace has a dark green tile.

I would go with white or at least a very neutral colour Re: How to lighten up my living room 3Dec 23, 2008 5:38 pm Sharee I think painting the beams white would definitely lighten it up, I think any other colour with beams like that can make the room feel dark and closed in.

Good day Re: How to lighten up my living room 8Dec 23, 2008 8:51 pm harmonSmith…..you have to relies, as a moderator we get all sorts of post that are what we call spam….unsolicited advertising.
You don’t have a location in your profile, so I didn’t know where you lived. So I assumed it was advertising. I apologise if your post is not spam, and here is my reply to your post. Here’s my thoughts – Paint the ceiling beams and timber cornice white. Take the dado wallpaper off. Paint the walls and chair rail an off white. Don’t paint the chair rail a different white (pure white like the ceiling) this will make them stand out again; you need them to blend in with the walls. Question, how old is the house, or what style of house is it?

Re: How to lighten up my living room 11Dec 27, 2008 7:40 pm Thank you harmonSmith ……that kitchen is my old boss’s kitchen from ********, it came out well.
That’s a Quartz bench top. Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: How to lighten up my living room 12Dec 27, 2008 10:10 pm Sorry, harmon smith, wasn't meaning to pick on you
But maybe time to adjust your camera settings I like that kitchen too, I like white kitchens and the timber floor softens the harshness of the white, nice balance. Re: How to lighten up my living room 13Dec 28, 2008 8:51 am Helyn…..that’s Bamboo flooring.
Of which I’m not allowed to speak about…….she hates it! Her choice….not mine, but very disappointing! Ohh and the view from that kitchen is to die for.
