Comments (13)Miss Lucy, we are looking at SM / SMH. Flooring will be a warm oak (not too warm) and furnishings tbc but probably a soft grey. How do you find the paint works in your house. What sort of colour scheme re kitchen Cabinets, benchtop, furnishing fixtures etc . ... Id rather have the other work done and then decide on colour but need to get colour to cabinet maker ASAP ... sigh Who knew so many whites. Kitchen is north facing . Living and Master south facing so just makes things harder!...See MoreSnowy Mountains Half or Lexicon Half with Calacatta Nuvo
Comments (1)Both of those whites are cool whites with subtle blue/grey undertones. I don't have a sample of Caeserstone Clacatta on hand, but some of the images online show that this has a hint of warmth in it, with a subtle cream/yellow undertone. http://www.caesarstone.com.au/colour/5131-calacatta-nuvo If this is this is the case, and these images are accurate, I would be cautious about combining your Caeserstone selection with either of your paint colours. But the best way to judge is seeing samples together in a similar light. Digital internet images are notoriously unreliable for subtle colour accuracy. Even if you chose the same colour for walls, trim and cabinetwork there will be subtle differences due to the finishes and how the paint is applied. Walls are generally painted with a roller and have a flatter finish than skirtings and architraves which have a bit more gloss, and are painted with a paintbrush. Cabinetwork is often satin or gloss, and applied with a spray gun. This means that there will be subtle variations between these elements, even if the colour is the same, your eye may well perceive differences. Don't plan on a perfect match between everything.

Comments (4)Choosing the right white is hard - so many options and they look different in every home. We are renovating our home and have new Blackbutt floors with mainly oak and teak wood furniture. Dulux has large a4 swatches for $1 that you can move from room to room easily without lots of patches on the wall. We purchased these for the 4 whites we were considering. We then numbered them on the front to make things easy and put them in every room in morning and artificial/evening light. We wrote down our preference for each room. While different whites work better in different rooms, by the end of the process we had a clear winner - Caspar White Quarter. A beautiful fresh white without any blue tones in our space. We painted this throughout with same colour in satin on the skirting....See MoreDulux Oolong with Casper Quarter ?
Comments (12)That kitchen cabinetry will be difficult to paint and achieve a lasting finish especially in a family environment. So keep them white. If the kitchen is fairly enclosed I’d also leave the walls light but if you want to add colour I’d swap out the backsplash with a tile that matches the Oolong you’re using in the adjacent room. Add a vintage rug and timber accessories and you’ll have the oomph you’re after. All the bedrooms being Dieskau won’t be boring - remembering you’ll be adding life in the form of people and furniture. Oolong is very dark in a modern house with low ceilings. I’m assuming that the kids bedrooms only have a standard window and don’t get the light that the living areas pics are showing. I love a moody bedroom but probably not needed in kids rooms. Don’t forget the rooms aren’t just the paint - light fittings, wardrobes, toys, bedding, art/posters, treasurers; all need to go into a kids room. You have a great house to work with....See Moreasorbak
