I have only ever had white painted skirting boards but really fancy a change.
Has anyone opted for a different colour and either hated or loved it?

Was thinking of going quite dark, maybe grey or midnight blue, the walls are white.

Any opinions welcome.

Same here MissT. I'm hoping to tackle my box room. It was originally meant to be the deep teal... but needed a serious clear out first. It's my 'loft' ;)
I'm looking at various shades of dark duck egg/turquoise. I did my whole kitchen...walls and cupboards...in a medium duck egg. I've used duck egg a lot...its in my tiny loo, with ferns stenciled on the wall over the toilet.
I love greeny blues and olive/chartreuse greens...with shots of burnt orange in my lounge.
Our supposed study has turned into a loft. It was an old washroom attached to the house,goodness knows when. Our desk and computer is squashed in there amongst lots of things. Mr T is a hoarder, but he's allowed to hoard in there and our huge garage I haven't set a foot inside for about 30 years!
As long as you pick a colour you like. I'm in the minority as I'm very traditional so only white for me - I was probably put off for life when years ago my partner painted our living room mustard yellow on all doors and skirting in our living room with white walls as a surprise for me while I was away for week. Totally hideous.
Blimey Chris, your first three links could be our house (apart from the staircase wall in No1) - have you been taking sneaky photos when we weren't looking? ;0)))
Chris, the first pic lacks enough contrast for my taste - too much dark woodwork, the next two look real classy. But the last pic! Yeuk, is about the best way i can think of to describe it. More 'clash' than contrast. Looks like someone threw 3 darts at a colour chart, simultaneously, and chose the colours the darts landed on :-)
I quite like the last one!
The door in the last one looks like a very dark purple/plum...the two can definitely work together. It depends on how adventurous you are. The first 3 are conservative and safer.
I like the last one best too. I just couldnt live with grey, black and white. So really, I don't like any of them. But we are all different.
