Trim colour to go with Dulux Antique White USA
Comments (2)Do you happen to know what sort of paint has been used on trims? It can sometimes be a very big job to properly prepare them for repainting so the paint sticks. We have found ours wasn't done right in the past and is coming away. Not looking forward to doing it all correctly. I would much prefer to spend the money on beautiful bright artwork! Changing the door colour as big reader suggested sounds like a good first step before deciding to do it all....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 Moreneed help picking a white paint colour for our beach unit
Comments (1)Hi dicorones - I see no-one has answered your question! There are lots of posts regarding the best / favourite whites to use. Remember it is always up to your personal taste, however check this article; https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/shady-business-how-to-choose-the-right-white-paint-stsetivw-vs~30629697 and this discussion https://www.houzz.com.au/discussions/dulux-antique-white-usa-yay-or-nay-dsvw-vd~2827919 For your unit I imagine you could go a very bright white but make sure there is some pigmentation in it, otherwise it will throw blue in the shade. (I like that at the end the article also suggests asking the actual painter! We are big believers in seeking the advice of our trades professionals and craftspeople... and often run the paint colours past the painters once we have done a test sample on site!) Good Luck!...See Moredulux natural white half/quarter?
Comments (18)Heather, would you say the quarter is a warm white but still fresh? Colour consultant suggested full of half but haven’t seen a photo of those two that don’t look too warm... even sample against the ceiling white looks to warm in my house.. Just don’t want a white that looks dibgybor washed out so hoping quarter will still look fresh ☺️...See MoreAlisha E
