Okay Thanks for everyone's help with my paint colour dilemma - especially Michelle! I have settled on Dulux raw cotton half strength. All walls and woodwork (including doors) to be painted this colour. My final question is: I was advised to do the ceilings quarter strength - but this was when the wa...

Definately leaning towards raw cotton half now.... it looks nice against both our lounges and I have looked at it in various light and think it looks okay. I will relook it at tomorrow in the sunlight. I think the quarter it just too light.... Thanks for everyone's help!!!

Trouble is I can only test them in my current house (which means I cannot test them in the light conditions of the new house).....

I think the red tones in Shetland Lace may clashes with one of our lounges which is a Slate blue colour.

The kitchen has wooden cabinets and black granite benchtops (its not a real open kitchen though and you cannot really see it from most of the living space. The house...

artstitches.... Are your doors the same colour as the frames too? or are they unpainted? Also if I go to half strength for the bedrooms (which are tiny, so I want them lighter) should I do the woodwork half strength in there also - or just leave at full strength ... I don't really like the idea of w...

Scallywag is a similar colour to Dulux Raw Cotton... Also I do not want white trim.....

In a week's time we will take ownership of our new house (not a brand new house). We are having the house painted (by a painter) immediately. I managed to get access to the house and took an interior designer there to help me choose a paint colour - but now I am panicking about what she recommended ...
