Trim and ceiling paint for yellow walls, crown molding for 8ft room
Comments (1)Eight-foot ceilings in a home that does not already have architectural features are better left alone, without trim. I would choose a softer ivory white for the trim and use that color for the ceiling also....See MoreRequesting advise for paint color for walls, ceilings and trims
Comments (2)Thank you, Beth. I appreicate your advise. So, if we go with crushed ice for the walls, what color would you recommend for the doors, baseboards, crown molding etc. Lastly, if we wanted to do an accent wall for the living room, which shade would you recommend for the accent wall to go with the crushed ice. Thank you, Latief...See MoreTrim and Ceiling Paint -SW Pure White trim - What white for ceilings?
Comments (27)We closed on our house today wahoooo! I only got to spend about an hour there but looked quickly at the samples for trim/doors/ceilings. I think I've narrowed it down to three possibilities: BM Simply White, SW Extra White and BM Super White. I thought about BM Chantilly Lace too. Basically, looking at the finishings, my first gut is that BM Simply White looks the best. I just worry it may look too yellow once up on everything. At least that's what I read (and you know how reliable the internet is). First question: has anyone had experience with BM Simply White? Does it just read warm or do you see the yellow in it when it's one trim/doors/ceilings? So I may go that direction, or wonder if I should go with a cleaner white but something close. Something still a little warm... As for the runners up, from what I can see SW Extra White and BM Super White are very similar but Extra White maybe looks a little warmer? Maybe because it has more chroma? Is this understanding accurate, Lori A. Sawaya?? And it seems to me that the order of warmth would go SW Extra White, BM Super White, BM Chantilly Lace... is that a correct reading? Again for context - East/West exposures with a lot of shade. Wall colors aren't chosen but would likely be something along the lines of BM Edgecomb Gray, BM Ballet White, BM Chelsea Gray, BM Natural Cream. Daughter's room will be BM Opal. I'll try to take some pics of the finishings tomorrow but would love any thoughts on this. Thanks!...See MoreDo you paint door inside powder room to match walls, ceiling, trim?
Comments (6)If you like teal, go for it! :-) While your inspiration picture doesn't have white trim, usually trim (and doors) are painted white. The contrast will make the teal pop even more. However, it's easier to break rules in powder rooms because they're small rooms. Things that would be overwhelming on a large scale can be charming on a small scale. There is certainly a love on Houzz for intense statements in powder rooms....See Moredropje
