Farrow and Ball - whites shades for bedroom please

29 replies

mavornia · 27/06/2012 22:05

could anyone advise me on which farrow and ball shades of white would look good on the walls/ceiling/woodwork of an east-facing bedroom?

actually, there are windows on both walls come to think of it, so does that make it an east-west facing bedroom? Confused by all this orientation lark and perhaps overthinking things!

i wanted a very calm, peaceful room and there are no colour consultants in n. ireland from what i can see from the website but i reckoned id find an expert or two on here!

the views are very lush and green from the windows so maybe a hint of green would work too

Just one point to bear in mind. Love the colours suggested but can say from personal experience that F&B and little boys is not, in my view, a winning combination!! I find that its not particularly durable / wipe-able / dirt proof so although it can be touched up, certainly with my DS (admittedly not the tidiest / often has sticky hands etc) we're having to do re-paint the walls quite often. You can't wipe it down gently or clean it easily, it ruins the finish or lifts the paint. For children's bedrooms, I'd be tempted to have it colour matched in a more durable paint.

Hi all, I'm currently facing a similar dilemma! Help!!

I'm decorating our large front room which is extremely light (lots of natural light) We are having panelling put in along the walls with oak teak (darkish) herringbone flooring. Also looking at a possible dark grey sofa or a softer looking grey-brown (weird I know!)

Now....I'm driving myself mad over what FB white. I was thinking pointing on panelling, skirts and door frames but stuck on a paint to put above the panels. Diminity is nice but really grey on walls. I was thinking winbourne white but is that too much white? Help!!

Hi can also throw into the mix Mylands paint, superb coverage extremely easy to keep looking pristine, my absolute favourite of the 'premium' brands.
Lovely subtle colours and very underrated.

Did you use slipper satin ?
