My two cents about the color in the bedroom: According to color science, the opposites in the color wheel are the most complimentary color. Look up "color wheel" so you know what I’m talking about. The opposite for green is red, which is why the red chairs will look great in the dining room. However, in the bedroom where you have a orange brick wall and an "orange" teak table, you can see that the complimentary color will be blue colors. Also, looking @ the video your blue shirt looks so good with the brick. So that is why i feel that the blue will fit better and make the room feel peaceful and intentional. Good luck with your home updates!
great explanation, not to mention the mood board with the blue background helps the warmer toned colors shine through, while the yellow makes everything blend together, purely because of the contrast from the cool and warm tones. My two cents on the dining room is that the white walls help brighten the space, while a green accent wall or ceiling would be enough to give the space some extra pop. p.s. think about how the color will reflect throughout the room and color unpainted surfaces. It might even make the spare white walls a light shade of green. The white will help the green stand out more on camera. A green wall where the window is, might make the light from the window appear brighter, while the white behind the furniture could reflect the light throughout the space, and allow your beautiful mid-century pieces to stand on their own.
i prefer the blue for your bedroom. i think it provides more contrast as a lot of things in your room are neutral tones plus it looks better with that brick.
Love the yellow for the bedroom. The blue looks cold to me. I got so excited when I saw the darker green for the dining room until you said it was showing more yellow than it really is. I actually love chartreusey, yellowey greens more, but I still think the green will be beautiful. Also, what a great tip about the frames and matting. That really is the most expensive part of artwork
was going to say same thing! blue will look great with brick and the brick colored side bench. blue is also such a calming color for the bedroom - especially if it already gets a lot of sun and is a hot room - I think yellow is not the best choice.
Idk, that blue is like a morning sky blue colour. Darker and deeper blues tend to work better for bedrooms, because they absorb a lot more light, but light blues like those are actually worse, because it simulates morning light which causes stimulates your bodies biological clock into keeping you awake- I mean, it's a lot more of a calming energy than yellow, but yeah.
Hi Benji, I vote blue for the bedroom. It's more calming. I like the green for the dining room. If you paint the walls, I'd leave the ceiling white, so it's not too dark. You could also use that yellow in the dining room, to brighten it up. I really do like your white shelf with all the plants. Theo & Winnie are so cute
Yellow looked much better than the blue, which went cold and dirty and very "little boy's bedroom" with all the red tones on the mood board. The yellow was more sophisticated and small blue and green items could bring in some contrast, like the blue in the print. The green could be great on the ceiling in the dining room as long as it didn't make the ceiling feel lower. Your living room is wonderful and the new art additions are great, I think. The highlight of it all for me was that one crazy shot of Winnie's head in the cone popping up above the dining table - that was a still that would look great in one of your new frames. Thanks for the tour - your style is thoughtful and quiet and I really like it.
I love all the paint colors you have chosen, and do agree that you should paint. The green did have a mustardy quality to it on camera, not sure what it looks like in person. But a dark green would be lovely in the dining room. Giving it a cozy, and warm, intimate feel. I'd leave the ceiling white. I prefer the pale blue in the bedroom, and perhaps the yellow in the bathroom and stairwell maybe? Since you say it's so hot up there in the bedroom, the blue may give it a "cooler" feel. Both the yellow and blue look great with the teak. I like to go by what feelings you want to evoke in a room (i.e. serenity, coolness, coziness, soothing, etc.) It will all be so beautiful!!
Your small changes are what I like most about your channel, besides your personality. The buttery color for the bedroom is lovely, so maybe the blue on the ceiling? Also, that green in the dining room will be beautiful. I can't help it - I love all your ideas!!!
I like the idea of green on the ceiling, considering you don't get a ton of light in that area it will be a nice contrast w/o compromising the white walls for brightness. The light blue wall looks so nice in the bedroom next to the brick wall! Whatever you do will be very nice, glad to see another video 😊 my son came up and saw you and asked your name (he's 3 & big on names) so when I told him your name was Benji and his name is Benjy he got so excited and smiley 😊 just a little sidenote, lol. 💚
Hi Benji - I love what you have done in your home. As for the bedroom - because it gets so hot and so much sun, I’d go with the blue paint and then make any decor adjustments needed.
I love the yellow for the bedroom, it's muted enough to not have to worry about it making falling asleep a challenge but it will still give you warm energy to start the day!
I think the Blue is a more calming colour for the bedroom, and I love the Green in the diningroom. I also moved to my livingroom to sleep as it had an air conditioner because it has been so hot and humid this summer in BC and almost no rain at all which is not what is expected here. Hope you guys have a wonderful time with the colours.
I love the color green that you picked for the dining room, because it happens to be one of my favorite colors. The only thing that you should consider, is that the dark color might make the room feel smaller. If you're not a fan of a lot of lighting in that room it'll feel like a dungeon.
Be careful about the frame of the second sketch you showed...those holes in the wood are wood-worm...you want to make sure they are not active,,,you can buy woodworm cure in an aerosol can...you might want to spray the frame to make sure they are dead before hanging on the wall. To paint only the darker green on the dining room ceiling would be a mistake...you don't have a high enough stud to paint the ceiling in a dark tone...paint the walls dark and the ceiling a light colour will create an intimate space as opposed to an enclosed space. I just painted my living room walls a very light whiteish/blue....what an amazing change...it brightens the room without it being stark....It also highlights my art work and the Rimu ceiling beams extremely well.
I think the blue might fit really well because of the contrast of the yellow sunlight coming in. Yellow in a bedroom sometimes can cause trouble sleeping because our eyes correlate yellow with the sun. I think it might not affect you as much because of how light the yellow is but still good to know. They're both really good options.
Yellow!🌛 I was thinking of how nice it would look in contrast to the green outside your window. Plus i think that particular shade works with the brick wall.😊
Benji, I think the green would be beautiful on the ceiling. That way the plants wouldn't get lost like it would if you paint the walls green. I think the buttery yellow would be pretty on the bedroom walls. I think you could get some craft paint in a wood tone and paint the frame above your bed. Can't wait to see the finished rooms.
Blockout curtains would help cool down the bedroom a bit. You can layer them with sheers. And maybe an air circulator. Vornado makes good ones and they have some nice retro designs too.
Hi Benji! A reason to not use yellow is that if you want to film in your bedroom, it's not going to compliment your skin tone or Chris's very well. I agree with the other commenters that the blue is a very nice choice, but tbh, it's not even that much different from what you have right now.
Yes with your choice of yellow in the bedroom! When you brought up the mood board the yellow looked so cozy, cohesive and the blue of the painting popped beautifully ( and the greens too)! With the blue everything looks kind of messy and nothing stands out
Your creative instincts are always so spot-on! And thank you for showing us your process of small changes over time, rather than a drastic before-and-after; seems more realistic and affordable 🙃💕
Blue for bedroom or blue ceiling and yellow walls! Also blue is relaxing color for sleep. And green for dining room ceiling! Then dining room won't be so dark
Very pretty colors to decide from for the bedroom. I think with the sun shining in the yellow would make it nice and cozy. The dark green may make the room look smaller if you do all the walls. I think it’s better for an accent color. I’m sure whatever you decide will work though because you have an awesome eye for decorating. ❤
Love the green for the dining room - and its beautiful shade of green... although it did look a little darker once you'd stuck it to the wall... Also we once had a beautiful dusty blue bedroom similar to what you have chosen... with lots of natural light - and it was the most serene calm room ever - you felt it instantly stepping into it...
I just painted my apartment yellow and blue and I am so happy. I took a blue that had a light lilac tendency and a soft yellow. I did do accent walls, but I chose based on the architecture. So that it makes sense. The blue frames my altar and ankers it into the room. And the yellow is on the two walls you see when you come in. I am so in love. The yellow is just a happy color and the blue is relaxing and smooth. I think about water and sun.
Love the new artworks! With the paint choices, I’d go with the green ceiling for the dining room - it won’t feel like too much then, just a nice hint of green to connect with the outside. For the bedroom, definitely the blue. It’s such a calming colour ☺️
2:51 dang! Try living in that heat but with 100000% humidity like I do in New Orleans. If you step outside you are legit dripping wet… like a sauna. Some days I have to change my clothes multiple times a day. 😅 Love the updates ❤ To touch on your three legged table, I found one almost 15 years ago and I will NEVER get rid of it. It’s made out of a round slice of a tree with three random legs attached and it’s the best thing ever. It’s uneven, it’s battered, but it’s so beautiful and unique. 16:07 also I REALLY love the idea of the ceiling paint only! The image you showed was beautiful and it really doesn’t clash with art or decor because it’s above it all.
i vote light blue for your bedroom! im also biased because thats my favorite color, i think it feels childlike in a way that i love, and your furniture is very mature so its a good balance
I'd definitely go with yellow for the bedroom! Since it's really lighted up in the morning by sunshine, it'll end up looking kinda green-ish and desaturated in contrast to the yellow
Most people are leaning towards the blue but I have a yellow bedroom, I love it. It looks great in contrast with the warmer wood furniture or colored ones. At night it has such a cozy feeling with the yellow lights. I feel like blue really brings down the warmness of a room, and it might only look good in summer, not so much in winter or autumn. I feel like bedrooms should be all about the coziness but maybe that’s just me
Make sure the sheen of the paint is a matt, satin or eggshell. Anything with a shine to it reflects any imperfections on the wall and gathers more visible dust.
I love the second art piece. Nice to see another relaxing video from you ❤ Edit: I prefer the yellow color tbh, i think it matches better with the brick wall in the room and the wooden pieces you have. I also think warm colors fit better in bedrooms, as places where we are supposed to feel relaxed and sleepy? Lol
The green is awesome! Just did some painting this past weekend using Behr Mountain Olive and love it. The yellow would work well upstairs, that was my first choice between the two. Also I've just learned that the paint works great for terracotta. Used my remainder for pots and they're stunning! Also allows me to more freely place the color about the space without full on painting.
i vote blue for the bedroom, just from the inspo boards i can see how well it compliments the furniture and other pieces of the room. Hope u guys love it too!
the pots. you can put doors/sliding doors there. even attach the art pieces to the outside of the doors if you want the area to appear more calm. other then that i really like the shelf setup with the natural and green tones :)
hi, i think the green in the dining room would suit perfectly. i wouldn’t worry about the colour being too dark cause you still got lots of light coming in. as for your bedroom i’m also leaning towards yellow cause it will warm up the space so much more. i think the light will reflect that warmth nicely and make it overall a lot cozier!
First, thank you for your video! They are so cozy and make me feel more relaxed in this stressful life. I absolutely love the yellow paint in the room-it’s so you, like a soft, sunny vibe.
Nice paint colors. I wouldn't paint the breakfast nook ceiling with a dark color, since it's a low ceiling. Darker colors on the ceiling tend to give the illusion it's "lower" (like in a cave). But, because of that false lowering, it can create a more "intimate" and "cozy" vibes, if that's what you want instead. If it were a vaulted ceiling and you wanted to "bring it down" because it feels daunting and overpowering, that's when you can paint it a dark color.
I was going to say blue for the bedroom until you put the swatches up. Then I immediately liked the yellow better. I love that green. The space looks small, though, and darker colors can tend to feel more confined. Like a cave, so maybe just do the ceiling. Then you can feel it out for a little bit. Then do the rest if it feels good.😊
These day's i can't wait. I am getting more and more addicted to the videos. I watch together with my younger sister and she loves your voice. But I Love you more 😊.
Hey Benji, I’ve watched your videos for ages now just never commented on them. I very much like your shelves as you have them, I think the blue would be so much more restful in your bedroom, and in your dining room, I’m not sure on your choice of a green ceiling it will close in your space and make the room look so much smaller but on the walls it could be nice and like you said , it’s only paint you can always choose another colour to paint over if you and Chris don’t like it. Happy painting ❤
Hi Benji, I rarely comment on RUclips, but seeing how many people commented that they prefer blue colour for your bedroom, I just felt like it would be nice if someone said otherwise. Personally, I really think that the yellow paint will provide this bright but also cozy feeling, during the day, but also at night. It just feels to me like the blue would make the room "cooler" as in it wouldn't provide the brightness the yellow would. But what do I know, all my walls are white 😅😂 In any case, thank you so much for your content. It's always a pleasure to see the different home updates, even if your style is not similar to mine, at all. Have a great redesigning experience 😊
Agreed! I never comment but felt like I had to on this one, I thought the yellow would be the majority vote - it's so much warmer and more inviting and just fits the entire vibe better in my opinion
I like the green for the dining room, however I would try a "feature" wall first, just paint the wall behind that cabinet and see if you like it. Green is my favorite color too! I'd like green everywhere.
Hi Benji. I love the green for the dining room and maybe just try a feature wall just to get an idea if you want to paint the entire room. And I like the curtains at the opening to the living room, but I think they would look even nicer if they were longer. Looking forward to seeing what you decide. ❤
for the dining room: i like the green but i think the wood shelving unit contrasts really nicely with the white walls as is, and the space seems a bit too small to pull off a dark painted ceiling - i think the wall with the window would be nice as a green accent wall (ideally with white trim around the window) or you could even paint the lower half of the room green if you're into that. and for the bedroom i agree with the sunny butter yellow - it's a soft enough tone that it shouldn't feel like ketchup and mustard with the muted red brick + the blue feels a bit dim and cold for a bedroom to me
I really really love the white in the dining room. I''ll wait to see how it turns out with colour. I agree the white shelf design is very beautiful and creative.
I really like the way that you set up your shelves, it looks so personalized with all of the items that you picked out. For the bedroom, if you choose yellow, you could have blue accents-the bedding and decor and vise versa if you choose blue. I think that they will both work well. I’m afraid that the green may make the room too dark and it will appear smaller but I love the color. Maybe paint one wall or the ceiling? Lots to think about 🤔.
The yellow and blue paint colors look quite bright on camera so I would go for something lighter or more muted. My bedroom is painted a light buttery yellow and it gives such a lovely, warm atmosphere both in the morning and the evening so I can recommend it 🥰 I also have green like on your inspo photos in my livingroom (warm white on top two thirds of the wall and green on the bottom third) and I've kept that color for 4 years and still love it! Painting your ceilings that color would darken the room a lot though and I'm guessing it would make the room feel very heavy. Just my thoughts 😄 painting ceilings is such a hassle so I wouldn't want you regretting it and having to paint it white again.
Regarding color I would say it depends on the light etc. I recently bought a book called Farrow&Ball Decorating with Colour. Though their paint is really expensive it is a beautiful book. I have also on a large poster board etc purchased a small amount of paint so you can hang in room and see how the light day and night is affected. Good luck!
For the bedroom you should consider 2 important factors: if you have high temperatures in summer, or south room orientation - be better to choose cold tones for the walls. Good luck)
I like the yellow, i think it gives warmth. The blue is a cool color for me. Love your bookcase with the pots in them, really something different. As always I enjoy very much your videos.❤
I'm voting for buttery yellow!! I personally feel the blue doesn't match the shade of the bricks, or the cement between it. Whereas the yellow accompanies it better - I think because it's closer to a neutral colour than the blue. I also feel this makes sense with your mood board where you've got accents of green and blue that would contrast nicely with the yellow. Like a soft blue on a quilt cover with white pillows, against a yellow wall, would be so much cuter than the other way round imo
My two cents about the color in the bedroom: According to color science, the opposites in the color wheel are the most complimentary color. Look up "color wheel" so you know what I’m talking about. The opposite for green is red, which is why the red chairs will look great in the dining room. However, in the bedroom where you have a orange brick wall and an "orange" teak table, you can see that the complimentary color will be blue colors. Also, looking @ the video your blue shirt looks so good with the brick. So that is why i feel that the blue will fit better and make the room feel peaceful and intentional. Good luck with your home updates!

My two cents on the dining room is that the white walls help brighten the space, while a green accent wall or ceiling would be enough to give the space some extra pop.
p.s. think about how the color will reflect throughout the room and color unpainted surfaces. It might even make the spare white walls a light shade of green. The white will help the green stand out more on camera. A green wall where the window is, might make the light from the window appear brighter, while the white behind the furniture could reflect the light throughout the space, and allow your beautiful mid-century pieces to stand on their own.
I personally love that it doesn't have too much contrast in this case. Not saying one of us is right or wrong tho cos design is subjective
Ooh this is true. I did love having a yellow bedroom - it is so cheerful!

i prefer the blue for your bedroom. i think it provides more contrast as a lot of things in your room are neutral tones plus it looks better with that brick.
or the yellow but add in a few cold elements, as a cold green/blue passpartou or such :)
I agree, especially because blue in a bedroom always gives that calm feeling that helps with rest and falling asleep.
I think i agree
Love the yellow for the bedroom. The blue looks cold to me. I got so excited when I saw the darker green for the dining room until you said it was showing more yellow than it really is.

I vote blue for the bedroom! I think it will feel calming and fresh.
Blue is more soothing for a bedroom. Maybe use the yellow in the bathroom. More stimulating to wake up to.
I was thinking the same thing.
Idk, that blue is like a morning sky blue colour.
Darker and deeper blues tend to work better for bedrooms, because they absorb a lot more light, but light blues like those are actually worse, because it simulates morning light which causes stimulates your bodies biological clock into keeping you awake- I mean, it's a lot more of a calming energy than yellow, but yeah.
Green ceiling would look amazing in the dining room! Love your content x
Yes! And, the cornices over the curtains to bring it down a bit.
+1 to green ceiling
i'm also team white walls and green ceiling!!
Team green ceiling too
Hi Benji, I vote blue for the bedroom. It's more calming. I like the green for the dining room. If you paint the walls, I'd leave the ceiling white, so it's not too dark.

100% agree - yellow would especially make the room a lot more cosier than blue, in my opinion.
What is the time stamp for the Winnie frame? Sounds so cute!
@@beingelizaclark brief glimpse at 0.08 then the full spectacular at 12.05.
@@janelte wow that is really cute. could totally be a print!
Blue for the bedroom, it's very relaxing and the contrast with the bricks it's very nice 🥰
I love your eclectic style, it makes your home look original, I prefer a home to have its own uniqueness, it looks like a home not a house ❤
i liked the baby blue walls in bedroom to balance out / lighten? the earthy red but up to you! both will look great :):)
I love all the paint colors you have chosen, and do agree that you should paint. The green did have a mustardy quality to it on camera, not sure what it looks like in person. But a dark green would be lovely in the dining room. Giving it a cozy, and warm, intimate feel. I'd leave the ceiling white.

Chris and you are like ASMR as people. Both of you are fab ❤
I think the yellow goes with your personalities. Plus, waking up in the morning with a brightly.colored room will set your moods for the day.
Hi Benji - I love what you have done in your home. As for the bedroom - because it gets so hot and so much sun, I’d go with the blue paint and then make any decor adjustments needed.
I love the yellow for the bedroom, it's muted enough to not have to worry about it making falling asleep a challenge but it will still give you warm energy to start the day!

Love the blue with the brick in the bedroom! Green ceiling in dining would also be so cool!
Blue would be calmer and cozier in the bedroom 🩵
I love the color green that you picked for the dining room, because it happens to be one of my favorite colors. The only thing that you should consider, is that the dark color might make the room feel smaller. If you're not a fan of a lot of lighting in that room it'll feel like a dungeon.
It comes down to the light. I painted my small apartment a dark blue, almost black and it made it look bigger then with the white walls.
Be careful about the frame of the second sketch you showed...those holes in the wood are wood-worm...you want to make sure they are not active,,,you can buy woodworm cure in an aerosol can...you might want to spray the frame to make sure they are dead before hanging on the wall.
To paint only the darker green on the dining room ceiling would be a mistake...you don't have a high enough stud to paint the ceiling in a dark tone...paint the walls dark and the ceiling a light colour will create an intimate space as opposed to an enclosed space.
I just painted my living room walls a very light whiteish/blue....what an amazing change...it brightens the room without it being stark....It also highlights my art work and the Rimu ceiling beams extremely well.
A lot of wood worm holes are man made and added to make a piece seem old and worn. But good call to always check!
I think the blue might fit really well because of the contrast of the yellow sunlight coming in. Yellow in a bedroom sometimes can cause trouble sleeping because our eyes correlate yellow with the sun.

I think the blue color would look great.

I like the blue in the BR. The yellow absorbs the brick and the colors on the mood board.
I like the dusty blue paint for your upstairs bedroom. ❤
Yes with your choice of yellow in the bedroom! When you brought up the mood board the yellow looked so cozy, cohesive and the blue of the painting popped beautifully ( and the greens too)! With the blue everything looks kind of messy and nothing stands out
The unintentional pot on your bookshelves look amazing!! Borrowing this idea for my terracotta pots 😍. Such a lovely home with a relaxing vibe!!
I love the yellow for the bedroom.❤
Your creative instincts are always so spot-on! And thank you for showing us your process of small changes over time, rather than a drastic before-and-after; seems more realistic and affordable 🙃💕
Blue for bedroom or blue ceiling and yellow walls! Also blue is relaxing color for sleep. And green for dining room ceiling! Then dining room won't be so dark
Blue bedroom would look good with all the rooms natural light.
Yellow would totally complement your bedroom space! Whatever you decide I can’t wait to see the outcome ☺️
I like the warmth of the yellow for the bedroom.
Very pretty colors to decide from for the bedroom. I think with the sun shining in the yellow would make it nice and cozy. The dark green may make the room look smaller if you do all the walls.

I love that gallery wall and book shelf - how its designed is so aesthetically pleasing. I can’t wait to have my own place to decorate.
I love watching your interior evolving!
i vote light blue for your bedroom! im also biased because thats my favorite color, i think it feels childlike in a way that i love, and your furniture is very mature so its a good balance
i like the yellow since the room has so much sunlight and is summery, the blue feels more calm
Your video is so relaxing and calming.
i prefer the bleu it does popup your existing color decor in your bedroom. also bleu is calmer and suits better the purpose of the room.
I think the blue would look so nice in your bedroom! Will be a very calming colour
I'd definitely go with yellow for the bedroom! Since it's really lighted up in the morning by sunshine, it'll end up looking kinda green-ish and desaturated in contrast to the yellow
Blue will look so good next to those red bricks and green plants!!
And for the dining room in the ceiling, contrasting with the cute red chairs!
Meant the green for the dining room jaja
blue! blue! blue!
Most people are leaning towards the blue but I have a yellow bedroom, I love it. It looks great in contrast with the warmer wood furniture or colored ones. At night it has such a cozy feeling with the yellow lights. I feel like blue really brings down the warmness of a room, and it might only look good in summer, not so much in winter or autumn. I feel like bedrooms should be all about the coziness but maybe that’s just me
Make sure the sheen of the paint is a matt, satin or eggshell. Anything with a shine to it reflects any imperfections on the wall and gathers more visible dust.
I love the second art piece. Nice to see another relaxing video from you ❤
Edit: I prefer the yellow color tbh, i think it matches better with the brick wall in the room and the wooden pieces you have. I also think warm colors fit better in bedrooms, as places where we are supposed to feel relaxed and sleepy? Lol
The green is awesome! Just did some painting this past weekend using Behr Mountain Olive and love it. The yellow would work well upstairs, that was my first choice between the two.
Also I've just learned that the paint works great for terracotta. Used my remainder for pots and they're stunning! Also allows me to more freely place the color about the space without full on painting.
Be aware...the frame holes may be from termites. If you eventually see wood dust below, ya know for sure.
Probably from wood worms. There’s a spray that kills them.
My first thought was termites as well
Or it could be wood-eating beetles, which are also to be concerned about. So Benji, be careful!!!
@@MrBibmm I’m a woodworker. It’s woodworm damage. Easily cured
Also here to say it's woodworm damage 🪱
i vote blue for the bedroom, just from the inspo boards i can see how well it compliments the furniture and other pieces of the room. Hope u guys love it too!
the pots. you can put doors/sliding doors there. even attach the art pieces to the outside of the doors if you want the area to appear more calm. other then that i really like the shelf setup with the natural and green tones :)
hi, i think the green in the dining room would suit perfectly. i wouldn’t worry about the colour being too dark cause you still got lots of light coming in. as for your bedroom i’m also leaning towards yellow cause it will warm up the space so much more. i think the light will reflect that warmth nicely and make it overall a lot cozier!
First, thank you for your video! They are so cozy and make me feel more relaxed in this stressful life. I absolutely love the yellow paint in the room-it’s so you, like a soft, sunny vibe.
Nice paint colors. I wouldn't paint the breakfast nook ceiling with a dark color, since it's a low ceiling. Darker colors on the ceiling tend to give the illusion it's "lower" (like in a cave). But, because of that false lowering, it can create a more "intimate" and "cozy" vibes, if that's what you want instead. If it were a vaulted ceiling and you wanted to "bring it down" because it feels daunting and overpowering, that's when you can paint it a dark color.
the blue for the bedroom for sureeeee
what a steal on the art and frames! I'm pro yellow for upstairs. Maybe that shade of green would be nice in the dining room on the ceiling to start
I was going to say blue for the bedroom until you put the swatches up. Then I immediately liked the yellow better. I love that green. The space looks small, though, and darker colors can tend to feel more confined. Like a cave, so maybe just do the ceiling. Then you can feel it out for a little bit. Then do the rest if it feels good.😊
These day's i can't wait.
I am getting more and more addicted to the videos.
I watch together with my younger sister and she loves your voice. But I Love you more 😊.
I love the white shelves with the plant pots and art and found things! Well done on designing that!
I love how you hang art inside the shelving unit!
Hey Benji, I’ve watched your videos for ages now just never commented on them. I very much like your shelves as you have them, I think the blue would be so much more restful in your bedroom, and in your dining room, I’m not sure on your choice of a green ceiling it will close in your space and make the room look so much smaller but on the walls it could be nice and like you said , it’s only paint you can always choose another colour to paint over if you and Chris don’t like it. Happy painting ❤
Hi Benji,
I rarely comment on RUclips, but seeing how many people commented that they prefer blue colour for your bedroom, I just felt like it would be nice if someone said otherwise. Personally, I really think that the yellow paint will provide this bright but also cozy feeling, during the day, but also at night. It just feels to me like the blue would make the room "cooler" as in it wouldn't provide the brightness the yellow would.
But what do I know, all my walls are white 😅😂
In any case, thank you so much for your content. It's always a pleasure to see the different home updates, even if your style is not similar to mine, at all.
Have a great redesigning experience 😊
Yellow for the win 💪💪💪
I learned that one has to take sun exposure into account, so that blue would actually work well and the yellow might become too much.
Agreed! I never comment but felt like I had to on this one, I thought the yellow would be the majority vote - it's so much warmer and more inviting and just fits the entire vibe better in my opinion
I like the green for the dining room, however I would try a "feature" wall first, just paint the wall behind that cabinet and see if you like it. Green is my favorite color too! I'd like green everywhere.
Hi Benji. I love the green for the dining room and maybe just try a feature wall just to get an idea if you want to paint the entire room. And I like the curtains at the opening to the living room, but I think they would look even nicer if they were longer. Looking forward to seeing what you decide. ❤
Oooohhhhh I also love that area with the white shelf and the greenery
Ohhh so glad you found Noah Daniel, I´ve been binge watching his videos too! he´s so good at explaining interior design :)
for the dining room: i like the green but i think the wood shelving unit contrasts really nicely with the white walls as is, and the space seems a bit too small to pull off a dark painted ceiling - i think the wall with the window would be nice as a green accent wall (ideally with white trim around the window) or you could even paint the lower half of the room green if you're into that. and for the bedroom i agree with the sunny butter yellow - it's a soft enough tone that it shouldn't feel like ketchup and mustard with the muted red brick + the blue feels a bit dim and cold for a bedroom to me
I really really love the white in the dining room. I''ll wait to see how it turns out with colour. I agree the white shelf design is very beautiful and creative.
definitely blue for the bedroom. green would look great in dining room but perhaps a paler green as the room already doesn't get much light
Green and buttery yellow!❤
I’m loving the new night stand ❤. Also kinda leaning towards the yellow for bedroom 😊
Really love the blue!! It’s so calming ✨
I really like the way that you set up your shelves, it looks so personalized with all of the items that you picked out. For the bedroom, if you choose yellow, you could have blue accents-the bedding and decor and vise versa if you choose blue. I think that they will both work well. I’m afraid that the green may make the room too dark and it will appear smaller but I love the color. Maybe paint one wall or the ceiling? Lots to think about 🤔.
The yellow and blue paint colors look quite bright on camera so I would go for something lighter or more muted. My bedroom is painted a light buttery yellow and it gives such a lovely, warm atmosphere both in the morning and the evening so I can recommend it 🥰 I also have green like on your inspo photos in my livingroom (warm white on top two thirds of the wall and green on the bottom third) and I've kept that color for 4 years and still love it! Painting your ceilings that color would darken the room a lot though and I'm guessing it would make the room feel very heavy. Just my thoughts 😄 painting ceilings is such a hassle so I wouldn't want you regretting it and having to paint it white again.
Regarding color I would say it depends on the light etc. I recently bought a book called Farrow&Ball Decorating with Colour. Though their paint is really expensive it is a beautiful book. I have also on a large poster board etc purchased a small amount of paint so you can hang in room and see how the light day and night is affected. Good luck!
For the bedroom you should consider 2 important factors: if you have high temperatures in summer, or south room orientation - be better to choose cold tones for the walls. Good luck)
I think a large piece of artwork on the brick would look lovely. I like the yellow paint over the blue.
I like the yellow, i think it gives warmth. The blue is a cool color for me. Love your bookcase with the pots in them, really something different. As always I enjoy very much your videos.❤
I can't wait to see that green painted, i also think it would look so good!
i loove the paint you are leaning towards, i would go with these too! i love your house in general and its just getting better and better 💛
Love the green for the dining area but I'm split on the blue and yellow for the bedroom. Can't wait to see what you decide!
I'm voting for buttery yellow!! I personally feel the blue doesn't match the shade of the bricks, or the cement between it. Whereas the yellow accompanies it better - I think because it's closer to a neutral colour than the blue. I also feel this makes sense with your mood board where you've got accents of green and blue that would contrast nicely with the yellow. Like a soft blue on a quilt cover with white pillows, against a yellow wall, would be so much cuter than the other way round imo
Yellow paint in the bedroom, green ceilings in the dining room! Use that blue somewhere though!!
I personally would prefer yellow in the bedroom, it just radiates a positive vibe and i think it looks nice with the shade of bed wood
