Thanks, Deb! Yeah, this room has some universal appeal - and it's luxurious! My clients laugh about how often they find reasons to excuse themselves from the rest of the house just to be here. :D

Benjamin Moore is a favorite brand. Natura is their finest quality VOC free paint. It's amazing for the walls. Aura is awesome, too. Satin Impervo is still the best for trim. I used a cleanable eggshell sheen for the walls and a classic semi-gloss for the millwork and doors.

Be careful with gray. I could have sworn some of the other shades I was considering would have won out, but the light in this space along with the medium charcoal tones in the painted furniture called for the hue we selected. I've never used it before, and it was perfect for this room.

It seems every designer has their go-to white for trim. I employed mine on this project. Whether the space is traditional, transitional or contemporary, when you need a soft tone, this white wins every time.

Walls:
2121-20 Steel Wool

Trim:
HC-27 Monterey White

I greatly appreciate your detailed response, very few designers are willing to share. I'm a design psychology coach and although I've completed a few projects, I am always looking to try new colors. I just completed a powder room in Benjamin Moore Kendall charcoal and it came out great. I've used 925 for trim, but I'm looking into a soft white for a master that doesn't read yellow. I want to paint the walls, doors and trim the same color just vary the finish. I may try this white!

This bathroom is so different yet elegant and timeless!!!

Tiling Walls. Partial or floor to ceiling?
Q
Comments (6)
I guess one of the advantages of part tiling is the fact you can easily change (part of) the decor by painting the bare walls a different colour, if and when you want. We chose part tiling partly for that reason, but mainly because there are a couple of areas in the bathroom that need to have access to pipes etc. I'm sure that would be possible with some kind of constructions tiled as well, but we thought that would be easier that way. Our bath area is tiled up to the ceiling though. I do think floor to ceiling tiling generally looks quite classy but people have been successfully creative with part tiling too. My suspicion is there is no clear cut answer to your dilemma, but still hope this helps a little bit. :)

Thank you for your comments they are really helpful, as you say it may be best to stay with one colour for the moment. There will eventually be a high table in the kitchen so it can double as a prep table. The first attached photo is the look I found originally that I liked..simple but warm, I just want black as a detail rather than being too dominant. My windows are light timber inside (so the view is the most important aspect) they are black aluminium outside. The second is a photo of slightly darker ceiling that got me thinking. Thank you for your input

Is the ceiling a wall to be decorated?

if you want to create a mood, atmosphere or have a decorative theme in mind - you cannot just ignore the ceiling. sure a white ceiling 'may' work, but you need to consider the room as a whole including the the 6th wall - the floor! we wanted a darker/cosier entrance to further enhance the low ceiling and contrast with the lighter/brighter kitchen, seen through the door. so painted it dark grey along with the joinery/skirtings and 'planted-on' beams for some extra texture/interest, which also helped to disguise the not so level plaster work!

Ceiling, skirting and architrave the same colour as walls or white?
Q

If you have beautiful period detailing, lovely coving etc then you can draw attention to them by using a contrast. If they are pale and the walls are dark (and vice versa) the contrast will be very strong. However, if the coving and skirting is nothing special then drawing attention to them might be the wrong thing to do. There's no right or wrong answer. With Farrow and Ball colours, then there are lots of options to pick out s slightly darker or slightly lighter version of the same hue. Does this make sense?
