Antique white kitchen cupboards, what colour skirting boards?

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?

Wimbourne white has a yellow quality and therefore will sit very well with any white with a yellow or green quality. However almost everything you will consider will be darker than wimbourne white. For this reason I would put Wimbourne white on the ceiling and woodwork and choose another colour for the walls such as f&b bone or Dulux jasmine white. Make sure you are happy with the colour at night as electric light will make these appear more yellow.

What colour furniture goes well with mahogany?

If you want to neutralize the orangey-red tones in the mahogany, and it sounds like maybe that is what you are seeking since you don't want more of it and you have considered painting it, then you will not want to pair it with a complimentary color, like greens and blues. The blue-green colors (complimentary) will actually accentuate the orange-y red tones. If you are seeing a lighter feel in general, then you will want to use light neutral paint colors that have undertones that are adjacent on the color wheel, like a creamy white with a salmon undertone or a beige with a slight pink undertone. In your textiles, you may want to play with the complimentary colors, but by placing the complimentary color right next to the wood, it will enhance the woods undertones that you probably aren't enthusiastic about. Agree on the brass tones, but look to the new brass tones and finishes. If you get too brassy or too shiny/laminated you may end up getting an outdated feel look and not something fresh and current. Remember, if you decide to paint, prime a large section of your wall BEFORE putting any samples up. I recommend a 4x4 square. Then test one color at a time in a 2x2 square inside that primed area. When selecting your wall colors, narrow your choices to 3-4 and prioritize them by your favorites. You can learn more about how to choose wall colors in this downloadable info sheet. https://paradigmfl.com/painting-without-the-pain/ As far as coordinating woods that are not mahogany. I am a big believer in varying your wood tones and mixing them. To successfully mix woods you need to look at the variation of color in the mahogany itself and choose a wood tone from those variations.. You may find that there are some deep chocolate tones and striations in there. I would use those to add wood into your room. Even if the mahogany doesn't have a lot of variation, I am thinking a deep espresso tone or a chocolately walnut would work well with the mahogany. Another pro also advised to use metal and marble. These would be beautiful and would have a classic look. Hope that was helpful!

Thank you both! Would you advise to do just the one colour/medium throughout the house? My husband seemed to think white or oak would look good everywhere except where the tiled floors are. I don't think it would be a good idea to do 2 different skirting boards though, do you?

You could do them the same colour as the walls, or if you want them paler Dulux Almond White, Cotton White or Timeless are all nice off whites.
