10 Living Rooms That’ll Make You Want to Redecorate

Inspiration

Geschrieben am 17th Januar 2020

Parma Gray No.27 in Estate Emulsion und Wimborne White No.239 in Estate Eggshell

Ein Hafen der Ruhe. Ein romantischer Rückzugsort. Der Ort, an dem das Familienleben tobt. Das Wohnzimmer kann alles sein. Also würdigen Sie diesen Raum am besten entsprechend und schenken Sie ihm alle Aufmerksamkeit, die er verdient! Um Ihnen den Einstieg zu erleichtern und Ihnen ein paar hilfreiche Impulse zu liefern, haben wir Ihnen zehn unserer liebsten Looks zusammen gestellt. Viel Freude beim Entdecken und inspiriert Werden!

1. Gegensätze ziehen sich an

Dieser in Inchyra Blue gestaltete Raum ist ein Paradebeispiel dafür, wie man einen perfekten Flow kreiert. Das kleine Zimmer liegt zwischen einem Wohnzimmer in Strong White und einer Küche, die in Ammonite gestrichen wurde. Die petrolfarbenen Wände addieren dem sonst eher neutral gestalteten Zuhause einen wohl dosierten Farbakzent hinzu. Der rote Faden, der dem Farbkonzept Kohärenz verleiht, sind die im dunkelgrauen Worsted gestrichenen Holzelemente, die sich durch die Räume ziehen. 

2. Florale Akzente

Eine Akzentwand mit einem opulenten Blütenmotiv wie Helleborus kreiert in jedem Wohnzimmer einen außergewöhnlichen Hingucker. Der großformatige Blumendruck wirkt bezwingend modern – auch in einem sonst eher traditionell gestalteten Zuhause. Die blanken Holzdielen und die hohen weißen Fußleisten komplettieren den unprätentiösen und gleichzeitig eleganten Look.

3. Alt trifft auf Neu

Viele Menschen erliegen der Versuchung, einen Raum mit besonderer Architektur weiß zu streichen (was im Übrigen oft auch die Empfehlung von Architekten ist). Doch eine dezent abgetönte Farbe schenkt solchen Räumen Behaglichkeit, ohne dass ihre Vielseitigkeit darunter leidet.  Old White, aus der Familie unserer traditionellen Neutraltöne, hat grau-grünliche Untertöne, die das üppige Licht bestmöglich unterstreichen. Dadurch wirkt diese ehemalige Fabrikhalle wunderschön hell, ohne klinisch zu sein.

4. Go green.

Grüne Farben sind aus einem modernen Gestaltungskonzept kaum mehr wegzudenken. Doch auch ein eher traditionelles Zuhause wird mit Grün richtig lebendig. Typisch für Altbauten und historische Gebäude ist es, an den Wänden eine dunklere Farbe einzusetzen und die Holzelemente heller zu gestalten. Hier wirkt das dunkle Green Smoke mit Türen und Stuck in Strong White sehr modern, und der traditionelle Charakter wird dennoch gewahrt.

5. Magische Muster

Eine auffällige Tapete ist ein erprobtes und sehr beliebtes Mittel, um einem Wohnzimmer Persönlichkeit zu schenken. Wenn die opulente Tapete darüber hinaus zart schimmert, dann wird die Anmutung gleich noch etwas luxuriöser. Unsere Lotus BP 2071 im Farbton De Nimes mit kupferfarbenem Muster wertet diese gemütliche Ecke extrem auf und passt sehr gut zum dunklen Holz und dem dunkelblauen Sofa.

6. Finish first!

Die Kombination aus Stone Blue an den Wänden und Dix Blue an der Decke ist schon ein mutiges Statement. Dank der verschiedenen Finishes wird der Look jedoch echt außergewöhnlich. Die Wände sind hier in unserer tuchmatten Farbe Estate Emulsion gestrichen, wohingegen die dekorativen Leisten und Fensterrahmen mit dem hochglänzenden Lack Full Gloss verziert wurden, was einen spannenden Kontrast im Glanzgrad bildet.

7. Besonders behaglich

Der typische Mid Century Look entsteht hier durch die Auswahl der Farben – und ihre ungewöhnliche Kombination: School House White und Sulking Room Pink werden zueinander in ein spannendes Verhältnis gesetzt und von einer feinen Linie in Paean Black geteilt. Außerdem greift der Designer die satte Wandfarbe in den Textilien (hier ein Teppich von  The Rug Company in der Farbe Portobello Pink) noch einmal auf, was eine wohltuende Balance schafft.

8. Fein ausbalanciert

Mit der Wahl unserer architektonischen Neutraltöne haben die Besitzer dieses Stadthauses in Manhattan einen perfekten Rahmen für historische Elemente und moderne Accessories gleichermaßen geschaffen. Das helle Pavilion Gray an Wänden, Decke und Leisten verstärkt das Gefühl von Raum und Licht, während unser dunkelstes Schwarz  Pitch Black den Blick auf die historischen Balken lenkt.

9. Darauf stehen wir

Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, einem Wohnzimmer ein Update zu verpassen. Das beweist dieser helle Raum: Wände und Holzelemente nehmen sich sehr zurück, dafür glänzt der Boden mit einem Neuanstrich. Hier wurden die Holzdielen mit unserem strapazierfähigen Lack Modern Eggshell in Down Pipe verziert. Das klare All White und kühlere Dimpse wirken kombiniert mit unserem raffiniert dunkelgrauen Down Pipe frisch und sehr elegant.

10. Schwarze Magie

Entgegen der landläufigen Meinung, ein kleines Zimmer müsse zwingend hell gestrichen werden, empfehlen wir hier oft dunklere Farben. Sie verleihen einem nicht ganz so großzügig proportionierten Raum Tiefe und Gemütlichkeit. In diesem stylischen Wohnzimmer entsteht durch das dunkle Black Blue eine besondere Intimität, die Kinoabende genauso schön in Szene setzt wie ein gemütliches Wochenende mit einem guten Buch. Der Effekt wirkt optimal, wenn Sie die Farbe auch an den Fußleisten und an der Decke einsetzen.

60+ Farrow and Ball paint colours in real homes

Our favourite Farrow and Ball paint colours

Paul Massey

Long beloved of interior designers, Farrow & Ball paint has a near cult following for its array of water-based, eco-friendly paints, that are packed with rich pigments which give a deep tonality to walls. But, with 132 colours in the palette, including almost 50 neutrals, as well as their signature dark hues, a little guidance and inspiration can help. It's one thing to look at a paint chart and think a colour is nice, but in our experience, you need to see the colours in real life to understand why the vibrant, joyous hue of ‘India Yellow’ is so popular and what makes elegant, understated ‘Setting Plaster’ the perfect pink. Drawing from some of our favourite houses, we have pulled together more than 60 of the best Farrow & Ball paints, to offer a broad gallery of paint inspiration and counsel.

We spoke to Joa Studholme, Farrow and Ball’s Colour Curator and all-round paint expert, for her top tips on choosing the right Farrow and Ball paint for your house (and you can see Joa’s own house in Somerset here).

How to work with natural light

The first thing to assess is where light is coming into the room, and from which direction. “Light is your friend when it comes to decorating – do not fight what nature has given you,” Joa explains. “Large, light rooms are best suited to lighter tones while stronger colours bring small dark rooms to life. The quality of the light will change how you perceive the colour, so you need to think about what time of day you will use the space as well as whether it faces north, south, east or west.” For example, there’s no point painting a south-facing room a colour that works with the daylight if you only use that room in the evening.

For rooms you tend to use in the evenings – i.e. when there is no natural light streaming in through the windows and you’re likely to rely on lamps and electric lighting in general, then “you can afford to choose a much stronger colour. This will create an intimate cosy space as it will be artificially lit anyway, while rooms you work in during the day probably will benefit from being kept light. In that case you still need to consider whether the room would benefit from warm undertones or if you want to embrace cool light.”

Best Farrow & Ball paint for south-facing rooms

When it comes to the direction a room faces, Joa advises that “south-facing rooms are often the easiest to decorate as they are filled with warm light for most of the day. Pale soft tones like ‘Cromarty’, ‘Pink Ground’, ‘Hay’ or ‘Skimmed Milk White’ will maximise the feeling of light and space, while the slightly stronger ‘Blue Gray’, ‘French Gray’, ‘Setting Plaster’, ‘Sudbury Yellow’ and ‘Bone’ will all glow in south light. ”

Best Farrow & Ball paint for north-facing rooms

“North-facing rooms tend to bring out the green in all colours,” explains Joa, “so if you want to avoid this then look to warm based neutrals like ‘Jitney’, ‘Oxford Stone’ or ‘Stony Ground’. Alternatively embrace the cooler north light by using stronger tones like ‘Sulking Room Pink’, ‘Brassica’ or ‘Bancha’ – deeply saturated colours are perfect for use in north facing rooms.”

Best Farrow & Ball paint for east- and west-facing rooms

According to Joa, “choosing colour for an east- or west-facing room is totally dependent on what time of day you use the space. Light in east-facing rooms tends to be cooler in the evening and brighter in the morning.” Naturally, in west-facing rooms it’s the other way around. “So, if you are lucky enough to have a room that benefits from both east and west light the colour will change throughout the day – making the walls feel alive! East facing rooms tend to benefit from soft calming colours with an underlying warmth like ‘Peignoir’ or ‘Pale Powder’ while using cooler tones like ‘Cornforth White’ and ‘Dimpse’ in west-facing rooms will neutralise the warm light at the end of the day. ”

Picking wood and ceiling colours from the Farrow & Ball colour chart

“The choice of colour for the woodwork and the ceiling is just as important as that of the walls,” notes Joa. “You must think of the room as a whole. A bright white on either ceiling or trim will make the walls look darker as well as making you more aware of where the walls end and the ceiling begins; this causes the ceiling height to drop. Either use a complementary white (something with the same base colour as the walls – these are listed on the F&B website) or if you are braver use the same colour on the walls, woodwork and ceiling – not nearly as frightening as it sounds!”
