I went for a Matt finish but in a kitchen one coat paint. It's completely your preference though and a silk might be better to clean? I'm just lazy and buy the same paint for the whole house so it's easy to repaint down the line

Not grey white, that's also cold. Brilliant white is a white with extra blue added, so that is cold to very cold depending how much blue was added. You want a white which is slightly tinted yellow instead. I suggest you try a tester of Dulux 'Timeless' which is available in a kitchen paint and also B&Q's 'Antique White' which is a premium paint which can be washed if stuff splashes on it. The Dulux kitchen paint can be washed too, and probably has better stain and grease resistance. How important the stain resistant aspect is depends on how you use your kitchen and how close to the cooker and sink you're painting, but I would always go for a washable paint in a kitchen. A specialist kitchen paint is better. You'll just have to see if the whites will go together - that's what testers are for. Also, all the grey in a North-facing kitchen will be making it look darker and colder. You might consider choosing another colour for your painted wall in the dining area. I know grey is 'in' right now but that doesn't mean it works well everywhere and anywhere.

I did this recently and we were advised to go for a matt finish and I am really pleased with the results. We did a few coats of Ronseal wood primer first (£28 a tin) then followed it with brilliant white matt emulsion. It looked really nice when finished!

Hello Dee B, Whites can be wonderful and I rarely use Dulux but I do like their Jasmine white, it is warm and has a nice bright finish without being boring, slightly veering toward a creamy colour. Brilliant White I would not use ever whether the room has full sun or not. I think it leaves a cold starkness which white does not have to be about at all. My other favourites are of course The Little Greene Paint Company and they have a whole range of whites and shades thereof. Or neutrals. Whitening is also a lovely warm white, slaked lime which is slightly cooler and I tend to use shades in variations so it is not a complete paint in one colour alone scenario which I do find sensationally boring. Think of architectural features you want to pick out. You also want really chalky finishes which are deep and provide depth. LG provides that and their paints are wonderful. Personally I have and have used extensively the shades I mention in various sizes of rooms and in my living room which gets so much sun in summer and winter that I have to wear sunglasses. You can clearly see the differences between shades when you compare them throughout the day. The other thing of course is that you can be imaginative about your use of colour, so you permeate the palette throughout. Some testers on plain paper should help you decide what you like. Shades with some warm woods, ochre's, apricots or flooring such as blonde woods would compliment. Rugs and other natural woven materials, such as Coir, Jute or Sisal compliment and notice how the architectural details are picked out. The room is bright and very light but not all white. Then you can accent and punctuate with beautiful pieces to layer the room. AJ
