Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Sep 08, 2009 4:01 pm We're well underway here with our renovation and we're going to be having dark stained floorboards (with a matte finish) in the kitchen, dining & family rooms and I'm going to have Wattyl Donkey on the walls and Dulux Chalk U.S.A for the trims. I'm trying to achieve a Classic American look to our home... Our kitchen is antique white vinyl wrap (with a cherry wood laminate benchtop which 5 years later I regret but they have to stay for the moment) and I'm needing a colour that will compliment the dark wooden floors and the Wattyl Donkey on the walls of the family & dining areas. I need to replace tiles on the splashback in the kitchen as well as paint a couple of small areas in the kitchen... would I be best to keep going with the Donkey colour or go for something lighter for the kitchen area, keeping in mind that it's not totally closed off from the dining/lounge areas? Hope I'm making sense! Re: Kitchen colour to compliment Wattyl Donkey 2Sep 12, 2009 11:44 am Hi MD, We have a 'Donkey' feature wall in our formal lounge room. The rest of our walls are Wattyl Kid Leather with Wattyl Chalkdust skirts. I think they compliment each other really well and it took me a while to select the feature wall colour.
