Help with interior paint colour please
Comments (6)So excited to here about your theme! We are currently extending our house with a similar theme and colour style. We have gone with 'Solver Parchment' in our kitchen (and most of the new section actually), it is not a yellow or cream colour, more of a beige undertone. Lots of warmth and not too strong. Quite similar to half strength Dulux Hog Bristle. (We don't have kitchen cabinets just yet). In the master bedroom we have gone with 'Taubmans Morning Fog ' which is a lovely duck eggy blue colour, very calming. Could also work with your blue accents. Both match with my Laura Ashley wallpaper feature walls very nicely (Laura Ashley Josette in Duck Egg and Sable). Ceiling, cornice, archs and skirts etc all in 'Wattyl Magic White'. Nice and fresh. See pics - please excuse the samples messiness, they have been rolling around in my glove box for a while. Look forward to hearing what you go with and seeing a pic....See Morepaint advice on trims and architraves.

Comments (4)I have painted houses light grey, white (twice) and black. Each time I have used semi-gloss vivid white for my window and door trim. The semi gloss does draw ones eye more and makes it a feature (so good if thats what you like - looks fabulous when the house is matt white) but what I enjoy the most is that it is much easier to keep clean.. Hope this helps...See MoreWhich white? What to paint trims/celings/doors. PLS HELP!
Comments (1)I’d suggest using pieces of plaster, painted in your chosen colours, to see what the colours look like in different rooms and at different times of the day. We were always going for Natural White which ended up having a pink tinge in certain light in our home. Our large back area is east facing (8m of glass stacking doors) with two south facing windows and two large skylights for northern light. Our colour consultant suggested Dulux Snowy Mountains Qtr strength and it is great for our home. Not stark (no blue/grey tinge) but definitely not too warm. We went all the same colour - walls, trims, ceilings - just in different finishes. Modern home with squareset ceilings. White is so hard. Good luck with your choice!...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
