Off White
Posted on Monday, May 5, 2008 in Uncategorized
If the trim is off white, can I paint the doors snow white?
I hate the look of mismatched whites – but I don’t know what color the trim is to purchase the exact same shade. Is it going to be aweful if I paint the doors a starchy white, compared to the more antiqued look of the off white? Any other suggestions for color (closet doors, and bedroom doors)? We currently have browns, greys and neutrals throughout.
Colour is SO personal… mismatched whites will look odd for sure. If it is possible, take a piece of trim off… remove it. Go for a small piece (maybe 1/4 round or something) in a non-conspicuous area. Take the trim to the paint store and ask them to match it. The technology exists (well, here in Canada anyhow) to actually “read” the colour and a computer spits out a mix formula. Usually it is very close, if not exact. Check your local paint shops to see if they can help you with this. Once you get it, put the trim piece back on and get painting!
As an opinion, I prefer bright white trim, doors, window frames etc. regardless of the wall colour. Ceilings definitely white. Sometimes the white will contrast to a darker saturated shade on the wall and results in a rich look. If set beside a pastel, the white is complimentary. All white trim also creates a flow through the whole space while allowing each room to have identity with wall colour, furniture colour and accessories.
As an example, my kitchen is all white cabinetry and trim but the walls are painted a saturated cinnamon colour… looks awesome.
Good luck!
