ship lap color?

7 years ago

We are currently renovating a home we just bought. So far, I have had all of the trim painted Decorators White. At the end of one of one of the hall ways we have a big room that the previous owners added on. We decided to make it a TV/hangout room. One wall has sliding doors to the back deck, one wall facing west has a couple of windows. We were thinking of making the east wall all ship lap, with a fireplace in the center of the wall, a TV above it, and built in bookshelves, with ship lap as the back wall of those shelves. Because this room is kind of on its own, and only connected to a hallway, should I make the trim and ship lap Dove White by Ben Moore? or keep my Decorators White for trim and shiplap? or keep Dec White as the trim and Dove White for the ship lap? My concern is that the Dec White will be too bright white for the room. However, we were thinking of the other three walls being painted navy, like Newburyport Blue......? Too much of a contrast? Am I better off with something like Paper White for walls?
