'I let husband paint bathroom but never expected him to pick the colour he did'
A woman has shared her 'horror' after walking into her bathroom to discover her husband has repainted it a very bold colour – but some are a fan of the transformation
Everyone has their own unique taste - especially when it comes to what you wear on your body and how you decorate your home. But one woman has sparked a debate after asking her husband to repaint their bathroom - but she wasn't at all expecting him to pick such a bright colour.
Sharing a photo on the Facebook group Home Design and Decor, she wrote: "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 accompanying image shows how he painted the walls a red colour with hints of pink and brown. You can view it here.
While some users "love" the colour and believe it makes the room more visually interesting, others agree it's "not their cup of tea".
Commenting on the post, one user said: "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 user added: "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 user said: "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."
One more user 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."
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 make up in there."
Sharing tips on how the pick the best paint colour, a Dulux expert said: "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."
