Paint white/off white - suggestions?
Comments (9)Because of my open plan and ceiling height changes, I needed to paint my kitchen ceiling the same color as the walls, SW Antique White. I used to be a white-only ceiling person, but I like the way the single color wraps the room, although the perception of sameness changes with the light throughout the day. If I didn't do the same color, I think I'd use a dilution of the wall color, but not go white. I'm fortunate to have 9-ft. ceilings, so it helps. Are you painting yourself? If you can paint the ceiling before anything else, it's easier. Painting my ceiling (knock-down texture) with cabs in place was a colossal PITA....See MoreYour favorite warm off white paint color for the kitchen?
Comments (4)Have you looked at BM Ivory White? After weeks of mental turmoil between Linen White and Ivory White, I picked the Ivory White(still have my fingers crossed) for the kitchen cabs to go with my Colonial Gold granite. The walls in the family room and the little bit of walls in the kitchen will be BM Splendor. The Linen White seemed to be a little pinkish to me. The Ivory White wasnt in a paint deck but behind the counter at the BM store. Number 925-Classic Colors. Picking paint colors is tough!...See MoreWhite or off white subway with warm grey cabinets?
Comments (17)Pretty! Really hard to tell from lighting in a photo. For kicks I'd bring home a charcoal grey for contrast. Also, since your counters are monotone, you could add a natural stone with some variation. I'd look at some of those faux hex or subway marble b/s- that could be gorgeous....See MoreWhites & Off-whites combo for Classic, Clean, Bright but Warm Kitchen
Comments (6)Finally made a decision! Had a color consultant from the painting company come out and look at paint samples and tile. Decided an off-white cabinet vs white would look best based on the rest of the kitchen and house. Picked the tile we liked best and the BM Maritime White we originally picked for cabinets and walls. We'll use the same white trim I have in the rest of the house. There's enough of a contrast where it looks good and that's what I've done with the rest of the house --and consistent with the decor style. My 1926 house has a lot of nice moldings, large baseboards, and trim and we show it off!...See Morelala girl
