1970s dining room - wooden doors, white doors or wooden frames?

Comments (1)There are dozens of suitable whites, and their is no magic white that somebody can suggest without seeing your floor tiles and benchtop. The only way to get it right is to look at real life samples (not digital images) of your benchtop and floor tiles on-site. Your perception of the whites will also depend on your light fixtures and the daylight. I would start with the Dulux - "most loved whites", but don't choose from your computer screen as they are actually quite different in real life. https://www.dulux.com.au/colour/whites-and-neutrals/most-loved If you can't decide then get a Dulux colour consultation which is reasonably priced compared to the cost of a house load of paint and labour.

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 More

Thankyou everyone for your comments, I've seen a gorgeous home designed by Alexander and Co that has everything we were thinking!! It appears that all paintwork is the one colour and looks gorgeous! Think the natural white would work well for us!

- 8 years agoAs per the advice of a Dulux colour consultant, we used Snowy Mountains Quarter and love the result. A crisp white that's not too cold (blue/grey) and not too warm (yellow/cream). I think it's bite needs tonne chosen within the context of your space. We were going to go with Natural White which threw hues of pink in our space!!
