last modified: 6 years ago

My home faces East (front living room). Formal dining room is North side and doesn't get much light. Kitchen and family room is rear of the house (west) with lots of light. The trim (baseboards, doors, kitchen cabinets are already in Dunn Edwards White. my floors are Provenza LVP in Superstar.

What do you suggest for walls and ceiling that provides just enough contrast to "White"? I prefer neutral or barely warm undertones.

For the walls, take a look at Benjamin Moore Ballet White OC-9 or BM Pale Oak OC-20 or BM White Dove OC-17. If you prefer to stay with Dunn Edwards, send them an email asking which of their colors match the BM color(s) that you like. I'm used to white ceilings, but some people go with other colors.

Hi. We used Dunn Edwards' Instant Classic with Swiss Coffee trim.
