Was thinking grey external and natural timber internally but the dark internal colour seems to frame the view nicely ? That was my experience at my friend's place.

Mandana Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Great! Too nervous to hang them ourselves though. Did you do the skirtings yourself too? What about the black skirtings your son has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider the Purbeck Stone as a darker colour from the same pallete for feature walls etc. Of course, we bought the paint from a local decorator's paint shop who can mix up any F&B paint colour at a fraction of the price.

Thanks! We’ve got the full range of testers from Strong White to Mole’s Breath lol. Our decorators have had ours mixed up by Johnstone’s. Would love to have had unlimited funds to have F&B’s paint, but needs must! Looking at the ranges now which will tie in the kitchen/living/outside etc ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitpipe Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Beautiful roof windows - do you have blinds for them? Can be a real source of overheating in summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidk Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Just my 2 cents worth. Ral 7016 inside and out on ours for both set of sliders and kitchen window. We loved the contrast between the grey and crisp white. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonner Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hmm ?, got me thinking now. First reaction was to go with white boards but the grey looks very smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone nearly put me off by mentioning seeing dust all the time, then I remembered we used to have black window boards with black frames and they didn’t show the dust any more than white ones did. Very happy with our decision ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
