In the middle of painting the bedroom and need help deciding what colour paint for the skirts/architrave/en-suite door and staircase spindles. (ps the en-suite wall is now the same dark paint as the other walls)
Should I go a mid/dark grey or the same colour as the walls? (Walls are Crown Celestite which is a blue/grey colour. Looks darker in the photos but changes colour depending on the light from a mute grey/blue to a dark navy! Lol)
Worried it might look odd being the same colour as the walls as you will only see the skirting on the white walls then?
I’m also planning on painting the staircase in the same colour as the skirting so ...
Help please :)

Antique white kitchen cupboards, what colour skirting boards?
Comments (1)What did you decide to do paulinehenderson? I have a similar dilema - our walls are currently painted white (works well as it's a north-facing room), so I think white skirting might look too bare. Thinking about colour-matching to the Antique White, but not sure the contrast will be enough to work well - maybe a darker colour would be better?...See Morewhat colour of skirting for grey floor tiles

Comments (29)Nice colour. What is it? Thinking of using similar in my lounge. Here’s a few inspo pics for painted fire surround (click to enlarge). I’ve included a couple of fire places where they are all one colour which I quite like the look of so for me I’m going to stick with my gut instinct and say the same colour as the skirting. But don’t take my word for it, the choice is absolutely yours! I always find holding a F&B colour chart against all the surrounding objects and in different lights helps me make a decision. Hope this helps....See MoreSkirting board colour - honest opinions welcome!
Comments (7)for me it doesn’t quite sit right, maybe it’s just quite harsh against the white walls, or slightly the wrong tone. but it doesn’t look totally wrong so if you like it stick with it! I really like your front door colour against the flooring so personally I would carry that on to the skirting boards and banisters....See More
