Painting dado rails for two tone effect
Comments (4)Hi woodster1987, Traditional paint brands have paints for walls & ceilings as well as wood & metal. Paints for walls & ceilings are available in matt finish and sheen finish. Matt finish, depending on brand and range, could be non-wipeable, wipeable and washable. Those reflect little light, upto 8%. Sheen finishes (Soft Sheen, Silk, Eggshell) are best for kitchens and bathrooms as well as stairwells and hallways and light reflection upto 30%. Those are durable and washable finishes. Paints for wood & metal are "made for purpose", and come in Satin, Eggshell and Gloss durable finishes with a higher sheen. The least shiny is Satin, the most Gloss and High Gloss. Last decade those were mostly oil based, but today most are water based and low odour. There are some paint brands that provide matt finish for walls and wood, but those shouldn't really be used in kitchens and bathrooms and high traffic areas. Please note, whatever finish you choose, no matter what paint brand you use, the old woodwork must be sanded to add "key" - and undercoated before applying finish coats. Are you London based? If yes you could call PAINTFORME® for free consultation. Hopefully you find this helpfull. Kind Regards, Paintforme...See MoreNavy or Two Tone kitchen dilemma!
Comments (16)I apologise if you’ve done this already but if you look on the Houzz photos section and select kitchens and then under area select “all Denmark” you will see lots of beautiful kitchens that I think capture the look you are trying to achieve. I’m going to have to agree with Jonathan and Sonia that very few of them are navy or grey. The Scandinavian look is about lightness and natural materials and so wood and white feature very strongly. I think that wood gives great warmth and interest in a kitchen and it is certainly on the way back but you can only really have wooden floor and units if there is a substantial difference in the colour tone. E.g a darker wood unit with a paler wood floor. Combined with white, it could look very timeless. If you did opt for a wood floor and some (maybe not all) white units, you could then go a bit darker with your worktops. Happy browsing!...See MoreTwo-tone kitchen or one colour?
Comments (33)Hi Aisling There is a lot of good advice here and the only thing I would add is that when I re-did my kitchen I asked myself a couple of basic questions; the first being did I intend to stay in the house - in my case the answer was yes, the second question was how often was I going to 'do' the kitchen. Given the expense, enviromental considerations etc I estimated I wanted my kitchen to last 15/20 years. With this in mind I had to decide if a two tone kitchen would date and simply look mis-matched in 5 years time as trends moved on. For me the choice was simply I decided on one colour, in a classic design and added 'modern'' touches/colour via lighting, handles, tap, applicances i.e. kettle, toaster which are less expensive to change if you want to ring in the changes. Ps. a great place to purchase handles of all sorts is More Handles Limited, they have two showroom where you can browse, an online website and brilliant customer service. Good luck with the re-do....See MoreTwo Toned Cashmere Kitchen
Comments (6)This is just my option .... I would avoid cashmere. I have sold it to customers and they have not been happy with it. It definitely has a pink undertone and it is difficult to get things to go with it. If you want a 2 tone nothing mixes well with cashmere IMO. Light colours on walls and darker colours on base units normally looks good. Navy and graphite fascias look lovely but not with cashmere....See More
