We are currently decorating our second reception room. It is a long narrow room, with bifolds out onto patio one end and a window the other. We are having a pergola on the patio , so that will reduce the light.
What white would you recommend?
There are floor to ceiling bookshelves on one wall, which I want painted the same colour of the walls. There is a wood burning stove and tiles that look like acoustic paneling on that wall.
The floor is oak, furniture is mid century, desk and sideboard and a Habitat Jones sofa.
I was thinking of School house white?

I think School House is the perfect choice because it has the warmth that will keep the room cosy; white is so difficult to get right but when you do it really makes a difference.
