Contemporary Whites & Neutrals


Building new or updating your existing home with contemporary colours.  Here are just a few of my favourite whites and neutrals from Dulux: 

Whisper White, White on White and Natural White are all beautiful contemporary hues. 

Hog Bristle - Quarter Strength and White Duck - Quarter Strength are gorgeous neutrals. Hog Bristle will complement most colours and White Duck looks fantastic in a house surrounded by beautiful green leafy trees.  It has a green undertone.     

Whether you are using these hues on their own or as a trim colour you will need to take into consideration the "Environment and it's surroundings" especially when renovating an existing home.  Natural light at different times of the day can change a hue dramatically. Interior - consider your flooring, lighting, etc. Exterior - consider bricks, garden, paving, etc. 

A new beginning is always exciting so have some fun with paint!! Use it as a backdrop to that beautiful sofa, gorgeous dresser or in your new kitchen.
