Re: White is Boring.
I don’t re-decorate often, just when a room starts to look a bit grubby or jaded. I don’t change the paint colour - I just re-paint it in the same colour scheme I have right through the house.Re: White is Boring.
Re: White is Boring.
We keep ceilings white an the walls a light colour. The lounge can be a bit dark so it's been painted with a paint that has light reflective particles in it ..but it doesn't really work. It's a Dulux matt paint that has the name 'Desert Wind' but I think you can substitute the name with 'Magnolia' just about.Re: White is Boring.
We have just painted the kitchen walls and this time have used the palest of greys (rock salt is the name). It looks like white, but there is a very slight difference between the walls and the white cornice,skirtings and ceilings which I like to see. I like the result, although am a bit wary about using greys in case they look cold. The rest of the downstairs house is in Jasmine white, which is not as rich a colour as magnolia but is paler. The bedrooms are also a very neutral colour which I mixed myself - it's a bit like rock salt, but less grey. Finally, after much work, we have all the walls back to plaster and there is not a bit of wallpaper anywhere. There are so many of these "white" shades to choose from and I find they are so easy to maintain.Thread Tools | |
