Apologies if this has been done to death already, but I’d really appreciate any suggestions for a paint colour for our rather dark hall stairs and landing.
The decorator arrives on Monday and although I’m surrounded by tester pots and harlequin walls, I’m no nearer settling on a wall colour. He’ll be starting on the banisters first (painting them white instead of the yucky rather orange shade the original light oak colour has morphed into over the years) so I have a couple of days grace.
Many of the neutrals I’ve tried have pinky or lilac undertones which I don’t want and I don’t want grey but greige might be a possibility. The really dark gloomy days are making it impossible to tell what colours are really like.
I’m tempted by the F&B Joas White but would have to fork out for the proper stuff because I’ve had two tester copies done and they are not a good match.
I don’t really want anything too pale because I know from past experience that it ends up just looking wishy washy in what is quite a big space.
Another option might be to embrace the darkness by going fir a darker colour and, although I’ve not yet bought a tester, I like the look of Dulux caramel latte from photos I’ve seen anyway.
I don’t live near many places which sell the very small testers so have been having to pay £4-5 each for one if the trade size testers and the cost is getting ridiculous.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
