So, I have a boring question. Which colour would you choose?
The base colour on the wall is my kitchen and the paint I am trying to choose is for the informal reception room which is off the kitchen but separated by a solid door. It is informal because you have to walk through the kitchen to get to it but it will be formally decorated and has a huge solid fuel stove and white marble fire place. I really wanted something like the Farrow & Ball French Grey but it is too expensive
In fact the only reason I am ''thinking'' of painting another room is that the hardware store has a % off deal this weekend! So it is cheaper and saves masking off that fireplace for a second time. We started painting the house brilliant white then realised we ''had'' to paint the kitchen or have the nightmare of painting around the kitchen units once we put them up. So I wasn''t expecting to make this decision to paint the adjoining room and can barely be bothered
I am already very mindful to keep the colours in the house to a minimum and want to work with grey chalky tones of Green, Grey and Blue all with white trim and some white painted wood panelling.
I realise the colours can be different on each computer so just give it a go.
