Hi annabelle630, Congratulations on designing your new kitchen! You mentioned Caesarstone Statuario Nuvo may be throwing off a deep white (almost blue) colour compared to Quantam Statuario. Maybe, consider these two colours also: Statuario Maximus (much whiter, deeper veins) http://caesarstone.com.au/colour/5031-statuario-maximus Calacatta Nuvo (much whiter, lighter veins) http://caesarstone.com.au/colour/5131-calacatta-nuvo Any questions please don't hesitate to reach out! Best, Caesarstone

there are some interesting putty grey colours in the knots of your floorboards. I reckon it would be worth holding some paint swatches up to the boards and see if you can find one that ties in with those driftwood tones in the timber . Then order a sample pot in a half or quarter strength version of the matching colour then see how it looks. Otherwise it is so hard to go with colours people have named, as every space has different light. If you are happy with the colour of the floor boards, let them guide your choice and you can't fail (as long as not too dark). :)

This one uses Lexicon Half as doors and trim with White Exchange Half on the walls. https://www.dulux.com.au/content/dulux/home/inspiration/inspirationgallery#!/inspire/L2NvbnRlbnQvZGFtL2R1bHV4L2hvbWUvdGlwcy1hbmQtaW5zcGlyYXRpb24vaW5zcGlyYXRpb24vaW5zcGlyYXRpb24tZ2FsbGVyeS1mZWItMjAxOC93aGl0ZXMtbmV1dHJhbHMtd2hpdGVleGNoYW5nZS1sZXhpY29uLWludGVyaW9yLWxpdmluZy5qcGc= Here is the comparison with Natural White and Lexicon Quarter. It's a nice combo.

We are doing white as well, ended up going for Lexicon mid-strength after painting all three, quarter, mid and full in swatches on the wall in our daughters bedroom. Like bargainhunter says the mid throws a blue undertone, turns out my daughter who is 12 now 'hates' it, but it definitely changes in certain lights and it's subtle and I'm still happy we went with it. The warmer whites if they throw anything slightly yellow I don't like them, so I'd rather have a cool blue undertone than yellow, but it depends on what you like. We are actually going to change now to Lexicon quarter for the rest of the house after we paint our 9 year old sons room, and I'm sure we'll get the blue undertone in some rooms, but I'd rather that than yellow. Plus we have timber flooring so it's more likely to make the yellow undertone in a warm white more obvious. We went with vivid white for trims/doors. I honestly think where you live also plays a part. We're in Brisbane, and whilst it's winter and cool at the moment, the majority of the year it's a warm/hot climate so I think cooler colours can assist with that feeling you get of cooling you down or maybe that's wishful thinking lol, but if you are in a colder place I really think that perhaps using that warm white would be a better choice again mentally creating that feeling like you mentioned of warmth and cosiness. I know when I was researching it there were sites that said which warm whites were supposed to be the closest to 'true white' so possibly looking into all of those, each brand will have one, https://www.homestolove.com.au/dulux-white-paint-colours-5396 this article by Three Birds Renovations who seem to love all things white goes through the Dulux white range. Good luck! :)
