Agree the grey looks lovely - I'm not a fan of the yellow I'm afraid. I used Shaded White - Farrow and Ball on our new build recently. Photos attached. I also used Mizzle (Farrow and Ball) on an annex and it looks great. Both colours will change depending on the time of day and the light available. Mizzle ranging from soft green, grey to white. Shaded white from pale grey to a soft creamy white. Very happy with both.

Ah thank-you, yes that would help! The rooms overall are very light, apart from the hall downstairs. The living room has light carpet and mid-grey ophelia sofas from next - I would eventually like to restore the original floor boards but we will have this done at the same time as the original parquet floor in the hallway (so in the next few years). I have alcove shelving and a light wood and metal TV stand - overall nothing too special but the space works for us - just need to get a few finishing touches (shutters, footstool). The other rooms are up for decoration - I'd love to have the dining room white walls with 1 or 2 walls in G&B 1946 paint but I'm worried it will look a bit out of place, as it does now in Sage green (I ended up painting the room on the colour I love and not thinking about how the room would look in the house and how we use it - I don't want to make this mistake again). The dining table and chairs is currently a light wood colour, which I may paint depending how the room ends up and we have a dark solid solid rustic fireplace. The house is mainly used from late afternoon onwards during the week and all day at weekends. I love a more traditional feel but also love the scandi feel (prehaps as it's so light and calming). I really like the idea of having more darker styles in the home but not too much as I think our home suits a much lighter palette (1930s 3-bed semi). All of the woodwork is painted white apart from the original doors which are various shades of light wood and I'm not a huge fan of wallpaper hence thinking about just re-painting all the walls. Should I try to pick a few colours which are present in each room then add additional shades/colours which compliment, in the different rooms? I guess I'm feeling a little lost now I have free-rein (always been in rented houses).

Hello, do you have particular colours/shades you like? Popular neutral colours are greys and taupes. Farrow and Ball Cornforth White is a light warm grey. It has different tones depending on the lighting in the space. I have it in my front room and would consider it for more areas. My Instagram handle is @greenraindesigns if you'd like to see pictures. Good luck choosing
