Advice on Farrow & Ball Slipper Satin or Wimborne White for all walls?

Hi Farrow & Ball experts and aficionados,


A F&B rep. recommended Slipper Satin or Wimborne White or Shaded White for the walls on the first floor and upper landing of our fairly open-concept, large, newer New England colonial. The kitchen lower cabs and/or island will be painted in FB Downpipe and the kitchen hardware a darker brass. the mudroom wood work will also be a greyed green as will the front door a darker one.


The family room/kitchen section of this house are north-east/north-west facing but benefits from large windows. We get light..just not a lot of direct sunlight. The traditional oak floors are soon to be screened and will be coated in a clear polywhey coat that results in a matte, kind of a light raw look or I may chicken out and stain it with a light grey/brown tint.


If you know about the three wall paint options please advise. Wimborne seems so bright but I love the new white look and our furnishings are all cool neutrals. Seems that all white is a new look and since we will be selling the house in approx. 3 -5 years. ..


The Slipper satin is very pretty but do you find it a yellow? or super traditional in feel?


And shaded white seems nice but green...which may be ok but the current kitchen hardware and flooring choices might have to change.


Any advice APPRECIATED!
