Irish crème trim?

2 years ago

Hello, we are very excited for our color scheme in the kitchen of our new build. The cabinets are hickory with the colors Irish crème and biscotti. The cab colors with our chosen floor are in the pics.

We loveee the Irish crème color and our builder suggests we use that to trim the whole house…which is where I am stumped. If that creamy white becomes our trim, what sherwin Williams color looks good as the main house color (foyer, hallways, living room, etc)? I’m nervous about being too beige and my husband is nervous about being too gray…help! TIA!

Have you considered matching the cabinet color (Irish Cream) for your trim and the same color in an eggshell for the walls? The trend now is to paint walls, trim, ceiling and cabinetry (if not stained) the same color. Here's a pic of a new house in our neighborhood that used just one color for all (Aesthetic White).

Wendy, thanks for the extra push to help me decide what to do. We decided to make everything (trim, walls, ceiling) the same color with different sheens. SW Oyster White was our winning match.
