i don't know shit about interior design
which colour should I paint this floor?
looks like shit right now

was thinking of either doing cremewhite or white or light grey

[Anonymous No.8446699]

>>8446697
tbh I like it the way it is now but if you say it's shit then I guess cremewhite would be fine too

[Anonymous No.8446703]

>>8446697
could you sand off the paint? doing that then varnishing it would look better than paint. then get a rug or something.

[Pepyn !SXQjBEoWio No.8446704]

looks a bit crackhousey on the other side of the room
especially in front of the door but you can't see that on these pics
thnx tho

[Anonymous No.8446706]

>>8446697

I'd leave it the way it is and put a short dark rug in the center. Put a nice mirror behind the sink. Maybe a small couch on the right, bed on the left. Pretty much done for I guess is a dorm room.

>>8446697
get a floor sander and sand off the old paint. then stain the wood.

no reason to cover up beautiful old wood floors

also, why the fuck is there a sink in the corner?

[Anonymous No.8446712]

>>8446697
It looks good the way it is.
Put some stuff on the walls and get a rug.

[Σ▼ƦƟ/ƒ▲/Ğ No.8446713]

>>8446697
I'd just sand it down and varnish it up. Paint isn't going to look good unless you got a smooth surface to work on. I used boat varnish for that glossy vibe. Easy to keep clean too.

That's one dingy ass room btw for Maastrich standards. I thought living there was dirtcheap compared to let's say Leiden or Amsterdam (shithole).

[Pepyn !SXQjBEoWio No.8446716]

>>8446703
this also sounds like a good idea
>>8446707
what's the difference between staining and varnishing?
all sinks in this house are placed at weird places. idk this house is pretty old
>>8446706
Exactly my plan for placing my stuff.

Project of architect here.

Painting your floor sounds kind of weird. I don't think I have ever seen that around here. Try to get some advice from someone who knows how to treat wood. I'd try to take out the paint it already has keeping it as natural as possible. If that's not possible I think I'd paint it white but then you might have to paint the walls as well of some different colour. You know, it could be too white. However fuck that guy up there and his gloosy vibe.

Also, get rid of that table or whatever, paint the sink (lel) white and try to integrate or hide the radiator and the pipes somehow.

The room looks nice. Good light and views I guess.

Staining is like dyeing the wood. Varnishing puts a glossy coat over top of the wood

[Pepyn No.8446867]

Fuckin hell my parents are pissed as fuck even for suggesting to varnish them . 'That would take ages!!' 'And we bought this expensive white paint especially for you( without asking me)' so yeah the floor is gonna be white..

Industrial designer coming through.
4 options are available.
1. white
2.dark grey
3.black
4.sanding and varnish

qhite wooden floor look #shabby , that's quite the entry lvl aesthetic , wouldn't do it

black is kinda edgy

varnish is classy

I'd go dark grey , kinda understated but still very modern

I have fishtail parket with an antique finish , If my landlord wouldn't kill my I'd paint it grey.

Your window is ok, there's no point in changing it. Plus, it'd be quite expensive and the owner probably wouldn't let you (who wants to have a window different from every other one in his house?)

I think it'll look good if you paint the - (bad english, not sure of the right word, the bit of wood that goes around the bottom of the walls) - a different colour, to break up the white a bit.

Then get a darker coloured rug, maybe matching this wood bit.

[Anonymous No.8447242]

>>8447226
Yeah I agree with this guy, painting the skirting board a different colour like black would break up the strong amount of white you're going to have.
