I haven't painted the backs of the entry doors because my intention is to put some sort of movie themed giant sticker over them - like a giant b&w image of Marilyn Monroe, or something - haven't decided or found what I want yet. I'll paint part of the bulkhead that the screen is going to cover and see what it looks like and post a pic before I do the parts that you will see.ĭon't have any pics handy but will post something up when I get a chance. Didn't go the dark chairs.Īlso, because the screen is a fixed screen, it's white so that will break the room up too I think during the day. The Domino recommends accents of red or orange, so thinking of buying some framed movie posters for the walls in these colours to break it up a bit and cushions for the new couch, which is a light grey. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Shareĭid you paint the back of your doors, I have heard of people doing that too. Here's a couple of photo's I quickly took - ignore the mess, we're mid install as mentioned but more for the carpet colour etc. We have a bulkhead at one end of the room that a 110" screen fixed screen with black velvet frame will sit in and the whole room is about 5.3m x 3.8m. there is also Wayward grey that could be nice but haven't got a sample pot of this.Īny ideas / photo's that anyone has done? The rest of the house walls are also crystal gazing so quite a cool grey.ĪNYWAY - I have got a sample pot of Dulux Domino and it's basically black, which scares me a little. Wall is currently Taubmans crystal gazing. Our carpet is dark grey/black and we have taubmans crisp white ceiling and architraves and doors. even though dedicated I would still like to keep it in line with the rest of the house so looking at a dark charcoal grey. It's a dedicated home theatre that is closed off from the main entry with double doors. BUT I am scared to make a mistake and am stuck on the right colour to use. From historical hearths to sculptural stunners, here are 36 fireplace ideas that are sure to spark the imagination.We are in the midst of installing our home theatre and I have decided to paint it dark before the screen and wall speakers go up and the furniture arrives. Luckily, there are plenty of striking mantel designs in our archive that demonstrate precisely that. It’s “traditional architecture but pushed forward to n-o-w,” he adds. “Try to come up with something unique but based in classic proportions so that you aren’t ripping it out in three years because it looks dated.” For a particularly striking travertine mantel he designed for a home in East Hampton, New York, Godbold found inspiration in the muscular architecture of British architect David Chipperfield. “Stay away from whatever is trending ‘hard’ presently,” he advises. We’ve been seeing mantels trend bolder (dare we say hotter?) than ever before, but as designer Tim Godbold cautions, you might want to think twice before playing too much with fire. So how do you go about transforming your existing fireplace or designing one from scratch in a way that feels at once functional but has that wow factor? A mantel, be it bold or traditional, is, naturally, a glowing focal point for your living room, bedroom, or patio. And while your fireplace might be the prime spot to cozy up, hearth and home (to borrow an old aphorism) obviously go hand in hand as far as decor is concerned. As the mercury drops and the holiday season approaches, nothing holds as much appeal as curling up in front of a crackling fire, hot toddy in hand and the nip of winter at bay.
