Hi, this is my first ever post on this site. I'm hoping you can help. I have a really dark stairs, straight up in middle of house with very little light at bottom and small window on landing at top but doesn't give light to stairs. I spoke to F&B who said go dark having previously had cream walls, that looked grey. I went with their suggestion and used Charleston Gray on sides and Skimming Stone on drop wall and landing. Way to dark, so changed side walls to Elephants Breath. Still way to dark. I need light on in day to go up and down stairs! I want it to look light and airy. I have a mink/taupe colour carpet. And skirting and bannister in All White, though look grey. The bannister is pretty and I want it to be noticeable against the wall, but it disappeared when it was cream. I've thought cabbage white looks bright and airy, though my other rooms have skimming stone and tallow coming off stairs. Would attach picture but not sure how too? Sorry this is so long! Would appreciate any thoughts on colours, especially light ones. Thanks in advance
