This depends entirely on the amount of light, the purpose of the room, the facing to the sun, and your existing furnishings. You could post few photos to give some guidance but if it is a new build I would suggest heading into a paint store for some sample pots. Once you have the sample pots - paint them onto some old wall paper and move them around and look at them in different lights. If it is for a whole house - think in terms of using half and double strengths to give continuity and some variation. Think about having some walls that could take a deeper tone to add interest to you scheme and also think about your floor coverings. If it is an older home - avoid stark whites and have a hint of your colour in white ceilings as it softens the effect. Generally I suggest avoiding too much yellow or cream and pink hues as these colours tend to date more quickly. Greys, beiges and hints of green are popular - current trends are blue greens and peach tones but will date. I am more familiar with Resene colours and particularly like Thorndon Cream and White Pointer in various strengths . Black White is particularly good for displaying art work and is very popular. You can have these colours put into Dulux paints. Have a search on Houzz to see that tones you like. Good luck.

Hi Rochelle. We have Hogs Bristle 1/2 strength on the walls. Vivid white on Windows and skirts. Looks fabulous. It is a very bright room with high skylights. Always looks clean and fresh and very stylish. hogs Bristle has been a favourite in the Deluxe range for many year and I can understand why. Good luck with whatever you go with.

I would love to see some photos of the house, interior and exterior. Where are you located and are there plenty of windows? Do you know what timber the floorboards are? If there is lots of direct sunlight onto the floorboards, this will reclect colour onto the walls so choosing the right "white" will be important. Did you want the one colour to go through the entire house? Are you wanting to keep the feel of the high ceilings or would you prefer to have them feel lower in some rooms? Regards, Bronwyn

I Agree with KK1000 & Julie - the navy blue will look fabulous. If you want to bring out the brown, consider it when selecting accessories; Julie's image is a great example of artwork in the space. I'd consider a feature light in either side of the basin if you have the room (its hard to tell from the photo) or perhaps above the mirror. The navy will be quite dark and you can add a bit of wow with a light as well as give some illumination for applying makeup etc from the right direction. Assuming of course that the shower will have a glass panel (to keep water away from any electrical fixtures)? Seek guidance from your electrical on the appropriate zones for elec fixtures and IP ratings suitable to the installation.
