Valspar as above, and absolutely in front of Dulux ( appauling matching ). Never had a problem with Valspar it's really accurate.

What colour to paint wood work, down pipes etc
Q
Comments (12)
Good morning All very good suggestions above. You will need to consider all. My suggestion is to paint the downpipes that is on the light grey stone in Purbeck Stone of Farrow and Ball and the downpipes on the brick coloured stone in Book room red of Farrow and ball. The reason for this is: Downpipes want to be camouflaged as it is not a feature of the house at all. You want to paint them a colour that will 'hide' them and not make them stand out. The front door I would paint in hague blue of Farrow and Ball. You will however need to get a Farrow and Ball Card and match it with your stone in order to get the right tones for the stone, red and navy colour. I would probably paint the window frames in Worsted of Farrow and Ball. I hope this helps. Please ask if you need more help. Have a lovely day to you all. Ilze

When brick and plaster gets wet once it draws salt into it and this means sometimes you can’t get rid of the problem. The solution is to hack off the plaster and replace it. However it is too early to go for that- I would wait and see. It may dry out well in which case I would then paint it with an oil based paint designed to stop staining and then redecorate.

Help choosing colour for stair wall!
Q
Comments (7)
Thanks everyone, really helpful! The walls downstairs are currently ammonite and it is quite dark as no real natural light. Maybe first step is to look for wall art first and put that up. I had thought of a colllage of photos etc. but I find lots of small pics a bit claustrophobic on stairs so think maybe I just go for 2 or 3 large art prints as the thought of changing the colour does scare me slightly but didn’t know whether to push myself out of my comfort zone. Thanks Janet_allen8 for the pic of the colour - it does look stronger than I thought for a full wall. I do like the idea of painting the hand rail if I stick with the current wall colour - not sure if I could do it on the other side though. Thanks everyone, really appreciate your comments as am a first time post-er on here!!!

Moving a down pipe
Q
Comments (0)
I have a single garden door that I would like to replace with a double garden door or small bifolds. To do so the pipe shown in the picture would need to be moved. Does anyone have any experience of having done something similar? The pipe is from the upstairs flat. I co-own the freehold with the flat above so would of course need to get their permission but am just looking to understand how easy it may be to move the pipe from any similar experiences at this point. Thank you!

Bespoke Interiors, I was under the impression that Dulux don't colour match, however they will just tell you which of their many, many existing colours are the closest match to the F&B colour you are wanting. Not that it's a bad thing just not quite the same as some of the others who do colour match?!?

Your right, Dulux do say, they don t colour match,its for legal copy right reasons, That is why i worded my thread very carefully (best for mixing wall paint to get a very CLOSE match,) see i did not say EXACT match,I said a close match

Hi Nicky, I would agree, Johnsons do a pretty good match. Bear in mind it won't be exact thought but close enough. I also find Johnsons paint more hard wearing for day to day living.

They're American and very good - not so easy to take advantage of their full services here in UK but interesting for reference. Plenty of home products to choose from so I've not used them here.

Thanks for all your answers.. Now, I know that it's probably a silly idea but what if I used the match for one coat and use the original F&B colour for the final coat? Would that look alright? Bear with me..

Good idea but not sure you'll save yourself much in the end. Emulsion or Eggshell?

Thanks. I'd like eggshell.

Hi neobule - if you're wanting eggshell for woodwork I would suggest you have it all colourmatched by Johnsons or Mylands (they do an eggshell that has marble in it and very tough). F&B not very robust for hard working cabinets in kitchen for example. Mylands no cheaper than F&B but much stronger. If it was emulsion for walls then go with Johnsons for budget.
