Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 05, 2013 4:10 pm Hello, This is my first post in here so excuse me if I have posted in the wrong section. My husband and I are building a house. We have chosen our tiles, benchtops, cupboards etc and we now need to choose our paint colour for the interior (aside from feature walls as these can be done once tiling is completed) We really need help with the white to use in the home - we have gloss white polytec kitchen cupboards, Laminex Antarctic Stone diamondgloss benchtops, underneath the island bench on the side where the bar stools are underneath is a feature colour polytec carbon micro gloss, the splashback will be tiled in a similar colour to the carbon micro gloss but slightly lighter. The floor tiles are 600 x 600 and are a semi gloss. I will upload a photo of all the samples shortly. The paint we need to use is Dulux. We dont want a yellow white but want something that is neutral and modern but has a warm feeling, dont want it to feel clinical or stark. Would like to avoid Antique White USA and Stowe White as I feel they will be a little yellow against the kitchen. Some colours that we were tossing around were Duck White, Natural White, Lexicon. Our window frames are anodised silver. Please can you help with some ideas and if you have any pictures that would be great. We need to let the painter know tomorrow what we have decided. We would like the ceiling and skirting, window frames etc to be a lighter colour than the walls. We like grey tones and brown tones but not sure what will go best with the cupboards, benchtops etc we have already chosen HELP!! Re: Interior Paint HELP URGENT!! 3Jun 05, 2013 6:03 pm I would highly recommend going to a paint store and get the sample swatches to take home. Choose as many colours as you'd like (20-30), then look at them at home, with comparable lighting to where the paint will be applied. Use some low-adhesive tape and stick the swatches to the wall, then look at them from 10-20 ft away. Natural light and indoor lighting in a home is significantly different to the fluorescent lighting in a showroom. Short list a few, then narrow it down. Good luck!
