Do you think this paint will looked dated in a few years?

[Larsz]

We are moving into a gorgeous little cottage. Needs a complete regut. I am very unoriginal and just adore the homey feel of Neptune and The Cotswolds Company etc.

I am thinking of painting the walls the colour in the attached pic. Even with the same panelling. I know it’s been done to death but I wasn’t able to do it in my current home so I still adore the look and it’s new to me. The floors will be new - pale oak.

I love the colour personally and I think it suits all seasons.

I love it, and the beauty of paint is that it's so easily changed if you change your mind in a few years.

It's a really classic colour. Enjoy your new home and making it nice for you by your own standards and whims!

Is that a stone kind of colour? Its nicer than beige.

It's lovely, I'd go for it.

What is the name of the colour. That is a flattering light they have it in what's it like in day light?

Y'see, this is why I waited to comment because I'm seeing a very pale sage green. Whatever it is, I like it very much and I can't think of anything more classic and restful for a country cottage.

Everything dates. If you like it, go for it. Back yourself!

I love it, I like the look of the panelling too, especially in the right property, which it looks like yours is.

The colour is fine, but not the panelling. That look is going to date very quickly.

I’ve seen many people say panelling is over. I don’t particularly care right now but if people are sick of theirs I am worried I will want to rip it all out in a few years.

I think it will complement our stone cottage very well. Would have loved to do it sooner but it wouldn’t have suited our last home (ugly 60s house on a cul de sac).

Tell that to my 1930’s house with the original panelling.

Yes there is a touch of green

I do think it will look dated, especially with the panelling as it’s a huge trend at the minute. I don’t think that’s a reason not to go for it if you like it though. Everything dates, you can just change it again.

It is tasteful, but for me personally, the look reminds me of interiors of local gastro pubs.

I’m going for a very similar colour and vibe in my new house! I’ve deliberately chose this colour as I think it’s pretty classic / neutral but with warmth, and likely to age well. Go for it!

No, it's timeless.

Choose whatever you like. It's your home. I have polished pebble which is a pale grey, but I've always loved grey
Yours looks a lovely neutral

Panelling is timeless and has been used for centuries. The fact that it's a trend doesn't change that.

Yes - I reckon it’s timeless for a nice cottage. My theory is that if a feature looks like it could be original to the house then it’ll be fine though you might end up painting very differently in the future.

I’m in a 60s house with a love of Edwardian style but just can’t make it work… I’m hoping the mid century modern trend won’t age for us 🤞🤞

Well, I think it looks nice. Have it! It's what you want!
Says the woman who painted her toilet bright orange.

What’s the name of the paint?

I love the colour what is it?

There is a style of panelling that will date, but not this. Colour is very neutral and won't date either.

It's lovely. And it's your house, it only matters that you like it.

Panelling will age soon I suspect however in a firm believer in people should have what they like in their hones so if you want panelling then go for it 😁 can't see that colour ever going out of fashion tbh
