Hi, I have a guest house near the sea that I want to repaint inside but unsure which colour to chose. The floor is grey microcement. I want to have a colour that reflects Swedish cottage in the archipelago style. It's like a 40m2 studio. Right now the bed corner is dark green and the rest is white as you can see from the photos. Please advise which colour is best. I am leaning towards warm cheerful tone like yellow, beige and muted white. I really want to brigthen up the space as the floor is already dark and grey. Thank you, Thao

Hi again, I aim to have traditional cottage white feel. But my main concern is the grey concrete floor will make everything looks too cold. I still want bright and warm feeling. I attached some photos of the cottage white I want for my guest house. Please advice which colour will be suitable. Thank you, Thao

Hi

From your pictures I see that your kitchen cabinets and floor have a coolgreyish colour. 

When you color with gray and beige shades, it’s usually most harmonious if they have about the same level of yellowness/redness. If you look at a surface with a gray color and at the same time see another surface with a beige color, the gray color can appear cooler than it actually is, and the beige tone can look yellower than it actually is, which often feels a bit 'off'.

Is it possible for you to repaint your kitchen cabinets?

Hi, Thank you for your answer! right now I don’t have the time and energy to repaint the kitchen. Would it work if I use century white or morning glow to achieve the brightness in reference photos? I can use a big jutematta to cover the floor if it helps balance out the greyish colour. Thank you, Thao

Hi again

All warmer colours can make the kitchen cabinets and the floor look colder than they actually are.

However, test  1024 TIDLÖS,  11364 CENTURY WHITE or  12302 CHAMPAGNE WHITE and se how you think it works in your room.

Please test the colours on large sheets of paper that you can move around the room to see how the colors appear in different light and in different spots. Compare with adjacent rooms, including any kitchen cabinets, countertops, floors, etc., to get a sense of how the colors work with the existing color scheme. 

For a super-matte and exclusive wall look, we recommend LADY Pure Color – our absolutely mattest paint. It gives a deep and beautiful expression with a completely matte surface, free from reflections. 

LADY Embrace is a good choice for simpler rooms and projects; it provides beautiful, matte walls with good coverage and easy application. 

For beautiful, matte, and durable walls, LADY New Era is a great option. It delivers a beautiful, matte, and robust result and is highly durable, stain-repellent, and washable – a good choice when you want to combine an elegant look with good resilience. 

When you don't want to compromise, we recommend LADY Iconic – the best of both worlds. It’s a robust wall paint with extremely durable and stain-repellent properties.

Properties, developed to withstand the wear and tear of everyday life. At the same time, it gives a fully matte, beautiful, and luxurious result and is a perfect choice, for example, in hallways, kitchens, and other areas where walls are exposed to a lot of wear.
