My current palette was a butter cream ~ very pale pale yellow/cream with pine furniture accents and red / navy decor accents .... which I loved however we are renovating the playroom and putting in a new floor which is much lighter now and well it just seems very 'washed out' down there as the renovations are coming along ~ since we have had to tear down all the walls to properly insulate the playroom now I am thinking of changing the palette up a bit ~ cause well I have lived with this one for 5 years day in and day out
Here is the new flooring ~ this is not MINE but the sample cause it is a mess down there still for photos
This is our fireplace coloring .... it is hiding behind all the book nook pillows so the kids do not bang on the stone ....
I am thinking of the Harbor Mist from this paint chip on the walls in place of the butter cream currently on there ...
It should look something like this on the walls ...
We are thinking of replacing the current pine storage shelves with new storage for the toys from IKEA which would run along the one long wall by the fireplace and staircase wall in an L shape to give me lots of storage ~ I can put the baskets in to 'hide' the toys in still which will be awesome ~ plus I can buy the 'door' inserts to close stuff I do not want them having free access to which would be nice cause I can just tease them 'closed door means closed toys'.
So do you think that color scheme will make my space look 'smaller' cause it is already a small space down there about 10 feet x 22 feet so 'narrow' but long room ... I really love the look of blue with the darker brown but my space down there is 'small' and I just wanting others opinions of if the 'dark wood' of the shelving will make it 'shrink' down there?
The Expidt shelves also come in Birch and White ~ i do not care for the white product cause it 'gets dirty' quick but the Birch looks nice too just not as 'rich' as the dark?
Thanks for your feedback
