Wife asks husband to paint bathroom and can’t believe colour
Everyone has their own style preferences – particularly regarding what you wear and how you decorate your home.
However, one woman has shared her shock after asking her husband redecorate their bathroom – though she certainly wasn’t expecting him selecting such a vivid shade.
Posting a photograph in the Facebook group Home Design and Decor, she penned: “Help! I have my husband ONE room to pain, and this is what he did to the powder room! What to do with the walls?”
The attached picture reveals how he coated the walls in a crimson hue with touches of pink and brown. You can view it here.
Whilst some members “love” the bold red shade and think it renders the space more visually captivating, others concur it’s “not their cup of tea”.
Responding to the post, one member remarked: “I mean, he did an amazing job. It’s extremely clean and well painted! The edging especially – very impressive.
“But I’d embrace it. Gold and black accents and frames and decorations, light coloured rugs, maybe do some Victorian accents.”
Another member contributed: “I think if my husband painted a room a colour he likes I’d see it through his eyes and not mine, why should I decide for every room? He likes it. He’s happy, it makes me happy.”
A third member suggested: “Get the white bath mat that when you step on it it turns red. Make it horror movie themed. It will scare the poop out of you every morning.”
A further cmmenter added: “There is so much potential for this to look amazing. Start with a Pinterest search of ‘tomato red powder room’ and lean in. If you want to keep the red, that is.”
Meanwhile, another user said: “It’s a beautiful colour. Overwhelming in a small room, a little. Too bad it’s a powder room, because you could use a shower curtain like this.
“Find a big piece of art with a little red, and lots of light colours. I know a lot of people have commented black and brass, but for a warm red like that I’d have to bring in the white, orange, yellow.
“Find a gorgeous sunset picture or a field of flowers. Whatever you do, don’t do your makeup in there.”
Offering guidance on selecting the perfect paint shade, a Dulux specialist explained: “Think about the colours you love to wear, the environments you like to spend time in and the hobbies you enjoy.
“Which colours do you associate with the things you love? These are the shades that’ll add personality to your space while enhancing the mood you want to create.
“Now, if you’re thinking you love green for the garden, blue for the ocean and the riot of bold hues you choose for clothes, there’s an easy way to try them all out before committing to house colour schemes.”
