Hey guys im taking advantage of 2 for 1 on paint at b and q and need a little help with colours.

My bedroom has dark brown units a black bed frame with a white duvet. The curtains rug and accesories are all teal, i dont mind going dark as despite the room being small it is a bedroom so dont need it to feel spacious, more cosy, any ideas for a wall colour??

And my kitchen has medium darkness wood effect cuboards with black granite worktops, black washer black fridge and stainless steel oven, i dont want white any other ideas??

My bathroom is white with some beige coloured tiles just around the bathtub, what colour walls?

My spare room has light oak units and a gold mirror what colour would go in here? I was thinking red for this room?

Depends if the units / furniture / flooring etc are 'warm' or 'cool'. You've got a lot of black, and believe it or not there are warm blacks and cool blacks.

Keep within the one theme and you can't go too far wrong, however I'd keep the colours fairly neutral if you ever hope to sell the place.

Red and gold in anything other than a stately home sounds hideous, especially if it jars with the colours in the rest of the house. Ideally you want the same broad theme for each room.
