No to white woodwork in house

[Kjv83]

We are just buying a new home thats a 1930s mock Tudor fronted property. As its not an era as such, we are planning to go Edwardian/Victorian styling unless anyone can suggest anything more in keeping? Also, we are thinking to steer away from brilliant white Woodwork (walls, doors, skirting etc) and was wondering if you can use just normal paint to get an off white/cream? Seems Satinwood which we normally get only comes in white unless you get the tinest tin and its a 4 bed house! Also I guess we would need to do ceilings in same to match the Woodwork? We cant seem draw a conclusion on it so any input would be great!

It went yellow because it was oil based paint. Buy water based and no probs.

Also White is more muted than Brilliant White.

A trades Dulux Centre will give you good advice and mix paint to your spec. Or ask your painter which make they prefer to work with.

I use a lot of Little Greene paint too. The downstairs of my house is entirely one colour: Slaked Lime (a gentle white) with Intelligent Emulsion on ceilings and walls and Intelligent Eggshell on the woodwork. It makes painting easy and this high quality paint won't discolour.

Here's the range of whites from Little Greene:

Yes we will go to Brewers or such like as I personally cannot stand the valspar paints they mix up

I personally think the gloss days are done so will certainly move away and go for less sheen. I will look at the difference between white and brilliant white as certainly sounds an option. Typically the painter just said he will work with whatever we provide which wasnt much help 🙄

Sounds lovely! Their colour options are beautiful so will certainly look at them when we finally decide what each rooms theme is

In our 1930s house, the wood was all stained/painted very dark brown. It's been so hard to scrape off we mostly overpainted it.

We've got a 1920s/30s house and have mainly got MCM furniture. I think furniture you can go any style that you like, but for more permanent fixtures you need to get the period correct or go more modern e.g. don't put in a Georgian or Victorian fireplace or panelling. But maybe that's just me and my hatred of the ubiquitous MDF fake panelling that's popular at the moment (love period and modern paneling).
