Non magnolia light wall colour

[Pawslikepaddington]

What colour have you used/looks good? Have lived with magnolia since 1989 and am bored of it!!! Need to paint new house before furniture goes in.

We have just painted our main walls crown's wheatgrass and my chimney breast crown's choc chip which was my DH idea much to my feet stamping but give the man credit where credits due it look really nice......

Taupe
this looks good against cream units in my kitchen

Just about to re-paint our bathroom, with Laura Ashley Pale Duck Egg Blue - lovely and sort of creamy pale aqua (hard to describe and can't find a link to it!

all of our house is dulux chalkstone - I love it, just off white - the tinge is grey-ish, perhaps slightly brownish. not a hint of yellow

you do know that you can get colour-matches for f&b colours? I don;t think you can walk into b&q and say can you do me a cheaper version of bunting white, but our decorator managed it.

natural hessian, natural calico, antique cream and bright white a plenty in ourt abode with a bit of magnolia but my mother says they are all magnolia (except the white). The cream is my fave. My house sounds a bit borign - tha hall used to be burnt orange but it used to give DH a headache!

trying again

We have a "designer paint" store down the road! What a find!! Guess where we are spending this morning!! Thank you all so much, you are home decorating guru's!! xx
