It may look very clinical once it's all done. Also consider your light sources. Are you going with cool or warm white lights? Cool white + everything else in white will look very clinical (unless thats the look you are aiming for) Personally i would match the floor tiles from main floor to bathroom/ensuite to keep it uniform, but thats only my opinion on it. sydfam Here is a picture of the display home, in real life it looks more of an off white than cream: http://www.metricon.com.au/metricon/med ... living.jpg This looks like Alto Beige: http://www.beaumont-tiles.com.au/AllPro ... id=182089H Very popular tile and comes in (porcelain) polished or honed finishes. When i was considering light colored floor tiles this was on the top of my list. Also possibly consider Super White: http://www.beaumont-tiles.com.au/AllPro ... id=182147P It's not a stark white, slightly offwhite. My builder also advised that they refuse to paint houses in Dulux Lexicon (any strength) because of the blue tinge they throw. 90% of people who ask for it are disappointed when it goes up. Look at Dulux Natural White or Dulux Antique White USA - they are the most popular whites. So id probably suggest something like this (this is my personal opinion! feel free to disagree with it ) - Walls: Dulux Grey Pebble Half - Good colour that adds a bit of depth. - Kitchen: White is fine. Consider Formica Warm White over the other whites offered by Laminex/formica. Warm white matches the stone whites a bit better and looks less clinical (softer on the eyes). - Benchtop: White is fine if that is what you want, consider getting samples of the stone + laminate to check them out though. - Carpet: mid-dark grey is fine. - Bathroom floors: I'd go with the same as your main floor if your bathroom directly connects to the main living area. But if it is sperated by carpet or something than go with whatever you want. Two different tile types/colors that meet together looks odd to me (my opinion). - Bathroom vanities: Consider what your wall tiles are going to be. If your floor tiles are light color, consider a darker color. I wouldn't use the same tiles as the floor, it looks bland. Otherwise osprey benchtop + smoky sapelle will look alright. White laminate might be a bit too much white. sydfam Here is a home with the colour scheme I had in mind: http://www.realestate.com.au/property-t ... -116287311 That looks like an offwhite/beige tile. Color accuracy in those photos is terrible (as per usual, probably photoshopped). See my tile ideas above. Finally your best to just visit the tile stores and take a look. Colors online are not really true to real world. IE: Alto Beige looks darker online than it is in person. Good luck.

I think I will need to find a visualiser to get the balance right and make sure it all doesn't look too clinical. You're advice definitely makes sense and will keep it mind when selecting our colours. Thank you!

I've chosen Lexicon Quarter for the skirting boards, cornices and architraves. I thought it's a good contrast to Sandy Bay (wall colour). Hmmm now you have me worried Re: Internal Tile Selection 16Sep 11, 2014 10:54 am Sheilzy Quote: My builder also advised that they refuse to paint houses in Dulux Lexicon (any strength) because of the blue tinge they throw. 90% of people who ask for it are disappointed when it goes up.

Hmmm now you have me worried If its quarter and only on the skirting boards etc, then you might be fine. Its mainly when you get a large wall. Quarter isn't too bad, full strength lexicon looks baby blue on a large wall though, not pretty unless that's what you want.
