Kitchen Units in Eggshell

4 years ago

I believe De Vol’s mushroom colour is close to Fired Earth Oak Apple, does anyone know the Dulux equivalent or RAL number that I can give to my decorator please?

Hi. Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up an area, I think a select piece of art would really make the space stand out, add interest, colour, texture and add a great talking point to the room.... Please check out my website if you like the idea and please get in contact, commission work is also welcomed so if you like a particular style I can do in a select colour palette and size as an original piece…..I’m also able to produce all original paintings in high end print format, in any size same or smaller than the original. (all within proportions to the original so not to cause distortion) All prints shown are Giclee prints onto soft textured fine art media. All prints come with a white border these can be made to measure too. So lots of options, www.guigsart.co.uk

Hi Louise, My experience as is that Farrow and Ball eggshell is hard to work with and difficult to get a great finish - difficult to lose the brush marks. Little Greene oil eggshell is fantastic, levels really well and dries quickly with decent coverage. They also do a really nice Grey colour card too. If you are set on Farrow and Ball colours then Johnstones do an exact match as they use the same mixing machine so the colours are spot on... much better quality paint and cheaper too. The traditional oil eggshell is great and the aqua system is lovely to work with if you want the convenience of a quicker drying time. Dulux can only match to the nearest colour that they do, so don't bother even trying to match F&B... I'm not a pro by any means, but have lots of experience... a professional painter will be able to work wonders with anything though I suspect! Good luck!

I think that you need to leave a wider gap, 30cm is not wide and I think it will look like what it is, ie stopping the units so they don't get in the way of the french doors. I would go with a 60-80cm gap and make a useful feature out of it with floor to ceiling shelving. I've found a picture showing some shelving stepped back from regular depth units, so you get an idea. Another option is to use a rounded base unit if you like them and maybe put a stool or plant in the gap.

I think you can buy specific primers for melamine but a multi surface primer would also work, zinsser is excellent, I think it's zinsser B I N you need but check which one. If you're painting them you could fill the holes for new handles? I would personally use a pro though, melamine is obviously plastic so doesn't absorb anything so you want a good finish (I'm not doubting your painting skills btw as that sounds a bit rude, I suspect they're better than mine!). That's tricky with lights.. Can you see much in there? Ideally I would also add downlights and a pendant over the table but that's a seriously messy job as you'd need the ceiling reskimmed after. You could look at something like a spider light (obviously not one hanging as low as this, just adding pics of what I mean!) or maybe a multi arm light to disperse it in different directions? You can also buy multi outlet ceiling roses so then can have the light of your choice. You could potentially have a plug in to the left of the window. I don't suppose there's a socket by the table?!
