We are renovating a modern (1960s) house with large windows, square rooms and low ceilings. We are going for a minimalist look but plan to add colour using accessories/artwork and mid century furniture. We have anthracite grey aluminium windows and a teak parquet floor.
I just want plain white for the ceilings/walls/woodwork... however friends have said it may look stark and clinical. Should we consider an off-white or just stick with trade / brilliant white?
I also need to find a paint that doesn't yellow over time... all the gloss we've had in the past has done this. We're putting in white flush internal doors and are planning to do the woodwork in satinwood or similar.
As we need to paint the whole house and have young kids, I'm also thinking about using eco-friendly paint. I've come across this paint called NaturePaint that is also sold in B&Q/John Lewis. It seems to get good reviews. Has anyone had any experience with this?
We are currently at the plastering stage and feeling a bit overwhelmed, so any advice gratefully received!
