SOS to Michelle! Hi , I'm new to this website, and have spent loads of time looking and learning, now I'm hooked! We're building a new home, and I'm not confident with choosing colours. The biggest thing is that we're having blackbutt floors throughout, finished in high gloss, and it will be the first thing to hit people in the eye when they enter. I'm looking for a neutral colour scheme, with accents of charcoal, red and maybe a tiny splash of green. Does this sound OK? As I said, I'm not confident. Also I saw in one of your threads that white is the best colour for interior walls, can you suggest a shade of white please? There are so many. Thanks so much - I was looking at your website and don't know how you have time for this as well.

Kidding, I get a lot of down time, oh and I work another job as well 4 days a week.
Ok….not sure where you read that I said white is the best colour for walls, possibly for the ceilings, but I only use pure white on very rare accessions for walls, when rooms are very small and there’s a lot going on in them. I would suggest a soft neutral colour for you, to complete the reds, greens and timber floor. Something Like Dulux Day Dream either full or ½ strength? This will work very nicely with your white trims Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Ceiling /Cornice - White Walls – Dulux Day Dream Skirting / Architrave - White Windows / Reveals / Frames - White Doors - White Window Treatments - Flooring - Blackbutt Lighting Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7171 Thank you @.
