We have just painted our bathroom in White Mist (Dulux) which is the perfect amount of 'off-whiteness' but it would be too cold of a colour for the rest of the house. We also quite like Timeless (Dulux) except I'm worried that in big quantities it will look a bit like magnolia. Downstairs I will be sanding and varnishing the original parquet (in pic) and up the stairs and in the hall upstairs I will be having a grey carpet running which I've shown a photo of and I'm not sure whether it goes with the Almond White. I think it goes a bit better with shadow white but probably should be ok with the Almond. The Almond probably goes better with the parquet than the Shadow White. Looking for a warm but not too yellow off white. Our house doesn't get a huge amount of natural light. I've so far spent a small fortune on testers... Am facing the dilemma of wanting to decorate the whole of our ground floor in the same colour, so incorporating a kitchen/dining space, north east facing with lots of light (big window in kitchen and 3m wide bi-folds in the dining area), then also a living room which faces S/SW with floor to ceiling windows, and relatively large entrance hall area – S/SW facing but no windows, just a front door with some stained glass in it. I don’t have any snaps of two of the most recently decorated areas in my house but if you’re after a hard-wearing mellow, creamy white (without a yellow tinge) then you could consider Dulux Timeless. This colour has been around for yonks and was apparently one of Dulux’s best selling shades for a while. James has recently used the Endurance version to cover our hall, stairs and landing and I’m loving the results. It’s a dark area with very little natural light but Timeless has warmed it up a treat as the colour seems to reflect the oak doors and skirtings around it.

This lounge just cries out for an update of airy white on those ugly, dull peach walls! But which shade of Dulux white would be be be fine, without the white being too stark or too yellow or too bluish grey??? Brilliant white, or almond white?? Timeless white, or chiffon white?? Very confused lady in a decor dilemma here. Autumn Statement: Workers to pay less in national insurance – but rate cuts don't offset the freezing of personal tax thresholds Both employees and self-employed workers will pay less in National Insurance from next year, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced in today's Autumn Statement.Am I likely to be able to find a fresh-looking white or off-white to suit the whole area that won’t look dodgy in certain areas at certain times of day? I should mention that the kitchen units will be pale grey and worktops white…. Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, housing, national insurance and more NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternatives Hi All, I've got the decorators in to decorate my hallway and after some deliberation decided on Dulux Almond White which is a lovely warm creamy colour. At the 11th hour I came across a tester I had from previously of F&B Shadow White but in the light I wasn't sure if it was too dark/grey (I'm not a big fan of pure grey - I do like grieve). So the decorators having already started I was under pressure and chose Almond White and the hall has now been painted - not quite finished yet - but I'm wondering if I made the wrong choice. Almond White is a lovely light warm creamy colour- totally inoffensive- no peach of magnolia but I'm wondering whether it's a bit bland and boring. The Shadow White might be a classier more elegant number- but I don't want it to be too dark or grey. Help! I will have to tell the decorators when they arrive tomorrow morning to repaint if necessary! Anyone who has ever looked over a paint chart or two will tell you there’s no such thing as a pure white paint. There are literally hundreds of shades from off-whites to brilliant whites, not to mention the ‘hint of’ hues that were very popular several years ago. I’ve never been the best with a roller and so I leave this to my husband James. Give me a paintbrush for woodwork though and I’m your girl! Here are a few of the colours that we chose to decorate our pad, taking into account the aspect of each of the rooms. Bright White

NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Ulster Bank, which are all part of the NatWest Group, will now shut at least 172 of their bank branches in 2023 and 2024. We used Crown Brilliant White in our summer house and, thanks to the fact that the room is bathed in light for much of the day, it’s bright and crisp rather than feeling like you’re hanging out in an asylum. Off White For an alternative smooth and creamy white (without any hint of yellow) I’ve been very pleased with Dulux White Chiffon that James used to paint our other west-facing bedroom. It’s very similar to B&Q Antique White that unfortunately proved to be disastrous for us in terms of application; four patchy coats later we plumped for this ivory shade from Dulux that looks fab with pink accents. Mellow White Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, national insurance and moreSome view white as a safe option, but for many it’s the go-to paint colour when decorating a room. White can make rooms appear spacious and bright, but get it wrong and they can feel clinical and stark.
