Re: Would this buffet go okay here? 17Mar 28, 2010 8:59 am donuts white is much easier to keep clean than black. You barely see the dust on white, black shows up everything, dust, fingerprints, scratches. I think white would be your best choice, black could be too heavy. Re: Would this buffet go okay here? 18Mar 28, 2010 12:05 pm Also, bear in mind it doesn't have to be black or white. Design Initial in Adelaide have contemporary gloss painted furniture in beige or charcoal - even some pieces in cherry red, which could be quite dramatic in the right setting. Beyond Furniture in Sydney appear to have similar stock from their website. We found the beige gave us the look we wanted in a large wall unit and glass-shelved wall panel. More subtle and not as stark as the white and it blended better with our wall colour and some timber furniture nearby. It won't be right for everybody, but it may be worth knowing that the choice is not "black and white" Cheers zeke Re: Would this buffet go okay here? 19Mar 28, 2010 2:10 pm Re my post above, here are a couple of pics of a corner of our family room showing the beige units and how they seem to go OK with the timber - or at least we think they do. (Decoration of this room is very incomplete - hence the empty bays in the wall unit. Also need some new chairs) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Cheers zeke Re: Would this buffet go okay here? 20Mar 29, 2010 9:05 am hmm interesting sue! you really think the white would look okay there? i just can't picture it! thanks for the pics zeke, your beige unit looks stunning! what is it made of? 2 pac or something? was it expensive?
