Re: HELP: What colour to paint trims and doors? 8May 31, 2011 8:32 pm shakyreno I'm thinking of doing exactly the same thing so glad i found this thread - how much lighter is half strength? Hard to imagine a lighter white...? Not to sure, but a friend has just painted her interior in full strength, her house does not recieve much natural light and it does throw to a creamy side. I am hoping the 1/2 strength will keep the creamy tone to a minimum.... I love the colour regardless so any strength will look hot hopefully Re: HELP: What colour to paint trims and doors? 9Jun 01, 2011 11:33 pm We used Dulux Whisper White on ours and it works great. We have a darker colour on the wall - Dulux Blind date.

Mine is fairly traditional, not contempary, which I why I went with panel doors and all woodwork painted gloss white. I love the contrast between the wall color and the doors/trims, and it matches the white plantations perfectly. ...but that's me! Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

I love my trims and doors contrasting with the walls. Hi Kek, My painter isn't starting for another two weeks, luckily because I am still confused with what to choose!!! My skirting boards are quite small, not that wide, so I was thinking keeping it the same colour would be the way to go! As I am going for a contemp look maybe white is the go, also since I am having a white ceiling Oh what to do? What colour are your walls painted? Cheers Re: HELP: What colour to paint trims and doors? 14Jun 04, 2011 5:43 pm Seeing as your wall colour is Antique White USA, I'd keep the trims the same colour. Stormy and kek both have quite strong colours on the wall, whereas Antique White USA is almost white anyway so the difference wouldn't be great. I personally prefer the trim to match the walls, but if the trims are white, the darker the wall colour the better so the contrast is really striking. I think that's why Stormy and kek's trims work so well, because there's a real contrast there. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: HELP: What colour to paint trims and doors? 15Jun 04, 2011 5:45 pm I may be a minority here, but I am having the skirtings and trims painted the same colour as the wall. I wanted just a low sheen instead of gloss but the colour selection girl looked at me as if I was crazy! So I told her that I want nothing more than a semi gloss. I wanted it to blend with the wall so that the furnishings will stand out. Believe me, it has been done before. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All new built homes look like display homes... until the furniture goes in.

Terrence Malick Re: HELP: What colour to paint trims and doors? 19Jun 04, 2011 6:38 pm This is my house with trims the same colour as the walls.... but if you search the posts of donuts, she has Antique White USA throughout her house, walls, trims, doors... possibly even ceilings.
