Please help me choose a BM white

8 years ago

The painter is booked, but unfortunately I won't be able to get into the house until the night before she comes. I know this is a terrible idea, but we have 2 small children so it will be much better to paint the kitchen before we move in. Plus there's not actually that much wall!

On your advice, I'm going for a white wall so it will then be a blue and white kitchen with terracotta floors.

Do I need to match the cabinets exactly?

Please send me your recs for specific BM colours (she works with BM only)

These photos are from the listing - not my belongings!

Thanks!

I can't help with the white, but do use BM Aura, if possible. It is great for the kitchen. Easily cleanable and can be touched up even months later and you cannot see the difference. With small children this might be a good idea.

I would love to see after pics of the space! Good luck.

Ask the seller what the trim color is.

D Marie - she said she wants to use Regal - is that a lower level? I can easily ask her to use Aura and pay the difference if you think it would matter

I would try to match the color of white in the background of the patterned tile in the floor. Looks like it could be Feather Down, Dove Wing, Seapearl, Gray Mist.

Aura is better and worth the investment. Nothing wrong with Regal, but Aura matte is amazing especially in a kitchen.

Do you like cold or warm colors? Which way do the windows face?

I recently sampled a bunch of whites for my kitchen. I fell in love with BM Lily of the Valley, which is warm. It didn't work for my space, but I kept the sample I painted for future use. I did the ceiling Simply White, which is also warm. With that floor, a warm color could be very pretty, if you want a white.

You don't need to match the cabinets in a space that size.

Update: I chose Dove Wing. In natural light it reads as a slight off white. The sun is down now so it looks a bit darker but it looks so much better. Thanks for the help everyone!
