Planning on painting the following semi gloss white to help the rooms pop:
Family Room: all moulding/floor trim/windows
Dining Room: all moulding/chair rail/windows/floor trim
Family room is orange on three sides (regular drywall). The fireplace side is wood panel with a cream color. (I painted the fireplace mantel high gloss white so you can tell difference). Should I paint the family room panel a semi gloss to match the moulding/fireplace or should I do a satin white? Or do a light neutral color to help make all the moulding really pop.
Similar question for dining room What should I paint the wall under the chair rail....semi gloss to match moulding and chair rail or just do a satin white (eventually will have square shaped wainscoating using 1x4's).
