I would vote for the top example here. Itr gives an earthy tone to the room and yet is still bright and wont show every piece of dust or food.

The fireplace shroud hasn't been painted yet but it will be matte black. These are the bathrooms still dirty but you get the idea

Hi there. We are renovating at the moment and we started painting our timber windows outside. I thought picking white would be easy! I was so wrong. Anyway we did a window in lexicon and I was shocked - it has strong blue undertones and glared badly in the daylight. It was very cold. Went to bunnings and explained the issue and was recommended natural white. I was skeptical as it looked dirty. Anyway I did another window and it’s lovely. It’s a rich thick white without being yellow - I think they refer to it as having a neutral base. There’s no harsh glare - it’s perfect for our other color scheme. All I can say is paint a large section in both colors and look at it during different times of the day. Obviously other colors will play off the white etc. Good luck with it all.

Hi, Have you considered a light Oak joinery, those colours would be amazing with a bit of timber. If the room is small, you can use a combination of Oak and White to create a modern vibe. this is probably not the style you are going with but you get the idea. And as per the photo brass is a very current addition to this colour scheme. Best of luck with your project! MKG
