I love Bamboo flooring! :P

Try Dulux’s number 1 selling paint at the moment….Hog Bristle half.

Michelle would you happen to know the equivalent in Haymes paint? I'm looking at a similar flooring colour without the variation :)

Try Haymes "China Doll" full's nice but you might like 1/2 as well. :D

Thanks for the reply Michelle!

To be Honest,we have our current home painted in Watyll "Dutch cream" and we really dont like it after seeing how fresh and crisp a non yellow off white can make a house look,we are keen on a lighter more cool colour is suppose that isnt cold,and something that isnt a huge difference between the ceiling white and wall paint,I have been lookign at Solver "first snow",has a grey undertone i think and Dulux natural white or even Antique white USA,but the latter is about as "creamy" as we would go,so any other suggestions?? :D,Oh the missus doesnt want clinical,so that my only other requirment!

Also what colour underones should i be avoiding with thsi floor colour Michelle?

Thanks again
steve

why not try anitque white usa 1/2 strength.....it is such a neutral colour and it is very easy to dress us with whatever furniture/ accessories you currently have hog bristle is more beige so it really depends on your preference

No yellow and not clinical….. Not leaving me much to work with. :shock: :wink:

Have a look at Dulux Natural White very neutral, but not clinical, should look good with your flooring.

Seriously….with timber floors I have not found a colour that does not go with them.
Whatever you choose for the walls, will go with your floor.

Try not to put too many restrictions on yourself with your selections…..you may find yourself running around in circles otherwise. :D

were having bamboo flooring, the coffee color, and I originally chose natural white in my selections, but was worried it might look too cream colored, so I changed to lexicon.....since then Ive worried that the lexicon will be too stark white, and may have that clinical look, and have wished Id stayed with natural white!oh well too late now, worst case scenario, Ill hate it and we have to repaint, but hoping not!!will let you know how it looks in @ 5 weeks time hopefully.

all lexicon has is a very small amount of black tint....it generally what they refer to as builders white
