Decorating

[postman44]

A decorator has said magnolia matt is good on bedroom walls and white matt on ceiling. Does anyone have an opinion on this please. Thank you

I have plain white walls, always matt, never silk, I hate even the slight shineyness. And vinyl matt is also wipeable.
I add colour with other things..curtains, pictures, cushions, etc.
It’s all about personal choice though.

Magnolia is very 80s. My walls and ceiling are going to be white. They are currently Magnolia.

i couldn't get away with white walls at all. even the dinner room is painted a nice shade of yellow. with pale green curtains, works well

dining room crikey...

I find that coloured walls often are a better backdrop for pictures, furniture and other decorative items. Colour lifts my spirits and makes me feel good.
I wish I could paint my lounge, but that's impossible without help...too much heavy furniture. Kitchen is next on my list.

i employed a good set of decorators to do my flat, over time they did the dining, sitting room, the council actually did a nice job of redecorating my kitchen, when we had bathroom and , kitchen major contract refurbs.

Our house was all magnolia when we moved in, I personally really like that light creamy effect. We have gradually repainted in all rooms with things like - antique lace, country cream, vanilla mist, Cornish kaolin - all much more modern ..... and all look like magnolia :-)

In my house, if the wall ain't white it's because it has wallpaper on it.

I like white ceilings and creamy walls. I’m not a fan of accent walls and hate strong colours on walls. It’s down to you really postman.

Our house is probably what would be described as Scandi...white walls, pale carpets, pale grey sofas, pale wood, but lots of colour on the walls with original paintings, embroideries, framed family things, and interesting ‘ornaments and artifacts’ which have come down through the family.
I absolutely hate and couldn’t live with patterns, deep colours, clutter.
