Can I tone down the gold in this mirror?
Comments (29)After much consideration of your photo, I really think you have it right! The gold mirror matches the gold towel rail ! All your other elements, i.e. the plant and stand, match perfectly with and enhance the room's overall look. I think the suggestion of painting the wall behind the mirror, is an excellent one, in a shade of green which would tie in with the tiles on the floor and the plant. You have the ceiling height to handle it. I wouldn't be shy with a dark emerald green to complement the tiles, I think the gold would then really shine and blend with the gold hand rail. Photocopy the pic of the room and using a texta, colour in the wall and see what you think before committing. Be brave. Congrats on a beautiful room! Good luck.... i do hope you'll show us the end result whatever you choose to do....See MoreWhite paint that doesn't throw blue
Comments (14)Thanks @mcmahonandnerlich for your considered response! Yours is about the only positive feedback I've had for Vivid White!! I love the cleanness of the test areas we've done but am a bit nervous that we might find it too clinical. Also a bit concerned our bedroom may dazzle our socks off as it will get afternoon sun in winter! Can you allay my fears?! And are you at all familiar with Snowy Mountains Quarter? It has a smidge of black and ochre in it, so is a tad warmer but not as warm as Natural White. Finally, do I need to be worried about the impact of our charcoal polished concrete and charcoal carpet on the final paint choice? If the paint has any black in it will the dark floors bring it out in the paint? Sorry to bombard you but your comments were so apt ... Thanks in advance!...See MoreDulux Snowy Mountain Quarter
Comments (42)Hi Katrina, In the rooms (in my SIL house) that throw that green cast they have a neutral carpet. There is A LOT of light in this particular area of the house, so I do believe that impacts the undertone. In my own house, I also have very bright rooms, large windows, westerly facing. We went NWH. Now what is interesting is in one room (the brightest room) it looks bright and white and in the other room which is adjacent and still a bright room but have sheers over window, it looks darker. I like a bright white room but the SM H/Q threw that weird green cast in my house. I prefer the NW because it has a warmer feel to it whilst still is a nice, white colour. I have light flooring also. Truly, its so difficult and far from an exact science because so much influences the colour in your own home. I'm not sure what the NW would look like next to the SM, but if the rooms are not open plan, I don't know if most people would tell. We painted the bedrooms (I think from memory) Lexicon Q and I don't find it jarring, they are just in a different part of the house and we needed a different white. Good luck, finding the right white is a journey! With kindness, SB....See MoreWhite paint for dark room facing south. Lexicon trims.
Comments (4)Hi lostinreno I would definitely recommend a white with warm undertones and not blue tones. The natural light in the south facing aspect has a natural blue tone to it so unless you are in Queensland and what the cool effect, it needs warming up with the colours you use. Natural white has some yellow and red pigments as well as black. The small amount of black makes it cover well whereas some of the more yellow undertoned whites dont cover well and you need more coats as MB Design and Drafting mentioned. Use the same white for all. Half strength on ceiling in flat finish and trims (satin) works well. Best wishes...See More
