Beach Condo faces West- which white??

2 years ago

I want to paint the lightest white for the majority of the condo. But would still like the trim to pop.
Sherman Williams is our supplier.
PLEASE any suggestions or pictures to help us!! Thanks

IMO trim should not be the pop in the space it takes a lot of time to apint and IMO colored trim never really works The fact is you have a bright space so why white at all and if white then IMO you do the walls in a matte finish and the trimyou could actully do in High gloss same color as the walls but the gloss will give you IMO as much pop as you should have, As for which white there is no way to advise that from a monitor . choose 3 you think are good get 3 large as possible poster boards then paint 2 coats of each color on the bords move around in the spaces at all times of the day and IMO especailly if you ar eusing white make sure all your lighting is LED 4000K before choosing anything. I aslo would suggest solar shades on the windows before everything you own is faded .

Thank you! Your absolutely right the trim will shine w gloss… looking at Sherman Williams Ice Cube possibly for the walls…
Unfortunately I have to chose the paint from a different state…so have to take a leap of faith…
Thank you again!

White wall color suggestions for west facing bright room

Abundant light typically strips chroma (or colorfulness) from paint color. White is a different story. White wall colors typically do well in abundant light. The key to taking the "harsh" or stark edge off of white is multi-pigment rather than a can of base paint inherently tinted by the titanium dioxide (which is very white) with a shot of black to help with hide. A good white wall color is complex while still reading as some version or universal interpretation of "white". I would suggest you check out Ellen Kennon's white paint colors. Specifically, Snow, White Opal and JV White Cloud. Here is a link that might be useful: Ellen Kennon Full Spectrum Paints

Which Dining Chair for Beach Condo?

I would do the same chair for the entire table. I would buy a can of scotch guard and spray the upholstery on the seats so that they repel dirt and spills. I did not see a picture of wood only chairs.

The world is your oyster. You have to decide what feeling you want when you walk into this room and what colors you want to use to portray that feeling. You have some great breaking points with the ledge and window sills, so you can change colors between under the windows, the sill, over the windows and the ceiling. . . Blue Green A soft yellow Pull in some deeper colors . . . or do 2 tone (Probably should have kept a white ceiling for this one) Do something unexpected like an iguana green and gray Pull in a peacock blue Or keep your white and use just the ceiling and trim to bring in some color. . .
