The minefield of choosing a white paint - HELP
My kitchen again.
White gloss doors with a dark grey worktop with upstands. Have read info that advised not to have brilliant white on the walls for a north facing kitchen. It will make it feel too cold.
I don't even know where to start in picking any other white for a north facing room. Will it look okay next to the white gloss doors? Or a pale grey/white paint? I'm going to choose a darker grey for the wall in the dining part of the kitchen.
Any advise?
Also what type of paint for kitchen walls and ceiling eg. dulux kitchen paint.
Thanks in advance.

Need help choosing paint colour to compliment light and floor..
Comments (6)I think I would go with the purbeck stone. I have elephants breath but it can be warm in South facing rooms and as your flooring is really warm I'd go for a contrast. I wouldn't go for the Hardwick for the same reason. Maybe get testers of both though to see how it works? The Dulux looks nice but I think a deeper contrast with the White may work better i...See Morei need help choosing a new wall paint color
Comments (4)You could try yellows or blues. Maybe add a feature floral, chinoiserie or trellis style wallpaper. Add green with plants and maybe a sunburst mirror. Dulux and I think crown do a visulaiser app so you can upload a pic of your room and try various colours. It's a bit tricky to use to start with but you get the hang of it after a few minutes...See MoreHelp choosing paint for new bathroom!
Comments (6)Hello Dee Dee, Something I think might help you choose, would be to paint a large area onto A4 paper and stick these once dry on the walls... Butt them up against the tile so you can really get an idea of the colours.. Look at different times throughout the day before deciding.. The cards are really too small for you to really understand how each colour works with changing light and even artificial when in the evening you'll have the light on! : ))...See MoreHelp choosing tonal paint colours to link a hallway with 2 bathrooms
Comments (0)I’m about to decorate a hall landing and stairs with a bathroom on each floor. I'm thinking of doing the lower dado section of the hall wall in a blue or green and then doing each bathroom in a tonal colour. It's all a bit beige/grey bland at the mo. The hall has a mink coloured carpet, dark wood bannister and white spindles. I've seen a hall with Long Acre by Mylands that looks fab. Does my idea sound whack? Are blue and green cold in bathrooms? Should I paint the mirrored wall units the same colour as the wall in the bathrooms when I decide on the colour? Help...See MoreUser
7 years agoHi Dynamo. I would be interested in some opinions also as I'm in pretty much the same position too. My living room is painted in dulux 'timeless' and it does read a fairly cream colour, which I'm not sure looks right against pure white - it's a west facing room, not sure if that makes a difference! I've attached a pic for reference....
