Neutral is any color that recedes in your mind in favor of the other colors around it. Whites, browns, greys and blacks are called neutrals because they're the most versatile for that function, not because neutrality is an inherent quality to them. A book that calls blues and pinks neutrals is probably trying to make that exact point about neutral as a function rather than an inherent trait. When it comes to using colors, it's a complicated dance of pigment AND light. A white room won't clash with another color, but the sheer amount of light white throws off can be overwhelming, washing out and dimming darker objects. Something like the heavy baroque paintings in the museum shots Doll House posted would turn into dark, muddy, smears in a bright white room. They could have the same effect with creams and greys, but using saturated colors accomplishes that goal while remaining accurate to the period when those painting were created. What Scottish national gallery is doing, what a lot of museums and galleries do, is make the whole room into part of the experience of the art inside it. It's not an empty show room just for viewing; it's a complete homage to the style those paintings were created in sync with, a way to contextualize them in their own time and culture instead of wrapping them in ours. And that's something that's the issue with the white-room - wanting a white room because you like a white room is not the same thing as wanting a highly functional display space for the things you keep in it. You're not letting the room be it's own piece of expression with that.

The first rule of color theory is that color is both relative and contextual. There are no convenient rules or standard categories, as this slapfight has demonstrated. In conclusion, the only appropriate wall color is safety orange. Thank you.

I'm helping my friends in Seattle with their office design, but I suggested an actual interior designer for some stuff. The people they found with good reviews quoted $450/two hours (I mean it's Seattle, but still). one of them currently has a closet in the back of their office with no door, just an old ugly drape. It reminds me of the entrance to the "adult" section of an old video store.

Also I already had to re-wire the house because the lighting cables were just run underneath the wallpaper. p.s. I forgot, also one room with a bad plaster skim over the wallpaper too.

I believe I have decided to go with some Parsons-style tables from Room & Board for my new place, walnut tops. Not crazy looking, solid construction and simple lines. Thinking of getting both a dinner table and a bar-height table. Are there ever any coupons or discounts from Room & Board? I've never seen them in the typical coupon pile that shows up when you move like Crate & Barrel / West Elm / etc that fling 20% coupons at you. I figure if buying a few thousand dollars worth of table from them, some discount possibilities / negotiation would be in my best interest.

Thinking of getting both a dinner table and a bar-height table. Unrelated, it's kind of crazy how how the markup for walnut furniture is at the moment. The walnut for that table is ~$70 more in materials than cherry and should be basically equivalent labor (probably slightly more since walnut lumber quality is garbage right now), but they charge a $260 premium for it.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:I have occasionally seen them having a sale, but I couldn't tell you when and I don't recall getting any coupons from them after they had my email/address. A different material for the bar height/sideboard one might make a contrast with the dining table. It would keep some unity of form but give some variety of texture/color. The honed black granite top looks nice but is $$$ and imo black furniture can be a little hard to pair with other stuff. We were considering doing mixed materials, but honestly not sure which one to go with for the non-walnut; the living room and kitchen are all one open space and have the same wood flooring, and the living room has black granite at the edges. Don't really want glass, and I don't think picking of one their other wood options really makes sense to throw in there. Best I can tell, it's hard to gently caress up walnut design wise unless I guess literally everything else in that room is also walnut? Just seems "easy" for a novice like me.

40 pictures in a single post ha ha ha ha. I broke my scrolling finger. For reals I love the Zillow search term of the day, but when a post has more than 10 pictures it's hard to not zone out. It's also hard to reply, because quoting the whole thing is too long, and if I just want to talk about picture 27 that's going to be a chore to delete the right ones to keep the pic I want. Smaller bites let us really savor the best pictures.
