Help me pick a white paint to achieve Scandinavian look. [More Inside]
I am no expert, but I'm trying to emulate the Scandinavian/minimalist look. Can some of you experts here recommend me a shade of white color from Asian Paints if not any other will do too.
The flooring is made up of beige tiles. False ceiling is pretty much minimalist will be painted white and the colors of our furniture are primarily of wooden shade with little bit of warm white and grey in between. The sofa will be light cool grey colored.
I have to choose 2 accent walls excluding kids bedroom as we're keeping it all white. The other accent walls I have in mind are -- 1. 'Grey' for master bedroom 2. 'Turquoise' for living room.
I'd love to know the shades of grey and turquoise from Asian Paints too in case we don't opt for wallpapers.
I personally prefer slightly cooler colors and we've a lot of natural light in all of our rooms.
Some of the Houzz photos that I've liked -
The shades of white from Asian Paints that I've shortlisted are -
1. Whispering Smoke (8308)
2. Morning Glory (0765)
3. Soft Whisper (9476)
4. Clear Sky Night (9483)
5. Confetti (8300)
6. Snowflake (8332)
7. Ice Age (8299)
Any help will be reaally appreciated. Thanks.

Need a new look for windows
Comments (35)softyjain, If the windows need to be replaced I recommend looking at fixed steel to maintain the narrow profile of the windows and small window lites. Using fixed instead of operating will be a cost savings if you don't need to open them. Another option for hanging from the ceiling is a decorative light or chandelier. That way you still have light into your ceiling at night. We offer Renaissance solid bronze windows that don't require any finish or finish maintenance. Architects designers love the rose bronze color, which closely matches copper gutters. http://www.houzz.com/projects/152134/Renaissance-Solid-Bronze-Windows---Doors-by-Progressive-Solutions You may also be interested in this ideabook- http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18543834/thumbs/Bronze--Copper---Steel-Window-Ideas...See Moreplease help...hello i have one sofa set and 2 single bed one tv in liv
Comments (76)HI RinaI do agree I love jewelbox rooms, but I consider them more cosy ... and with a grey marble floor it goes all Versace Italianate! I am trying to balance the colours by bringing in a pattern on the covers rather than plain. I feel this will bring colour without overpowering the room. In the pictures I showed above, the rooms are basically neutral but the colour is brought in via pattern - I think this might be the way to go...Ideally a green or blue on a subdued grey would be the best, but I dont know what the market is like for Sumit...Cushions can do a lot to tie in the other white/grey elements.Shelley - navy is a good suggestion, but as Sumits area is quite tall and thin, trying to keep the general area light Any more suggestions most welcome. These are just ideas after all and Sumit will choose what works for the room in the end ;-)...See MoreKitchen backsplash - which tiles for a white Cottage/Farmhouse kitchen
Comments (9)Hi Rasa, Nice to hear from you and I’m glad I was able to give you some inspiration for your kitchen tiles. I’ve included another image for you to look at that shows more of a farm house style kitchen with the coloured tiles. If you worried the coloured tiles might look too contemporary for your space, I would advise going for quite soft, muted colour tones to give you the same effect but in a more rustic style. You can see in the attached image how they have used a soft sheen, textured tile in neutral tones, with a subtle hint of colour to be in-keeping with that farmhouse feel. For your tile colours, you could pick up the off white tone of your cabinets with the grey in the granite, and a very soft hint of green or blue to add a little colour to achieve the same look for your kitchen. I have also added some paint swatches below you could use as reference for tile colours to help you visualise the combination. Off white: Greys: Blue or Green: Hopefully this answers your questions for you and I’d love to see some pictures when your project is finished. Good luck with the decorating.

Comments (10)I've seen a lot of photos and I have come to realise that I really like the pastel/muted color pallete and have also come to know that they are good for small rooms. I really liked nickel grey and silver grey. Do both of these colors also belong to pastel color pallete? I am not able to find a separate section for pastel color pallete on asian paints' website. So it's difficult to find similar colors. Thanks for helping me....See More- 7 years ago
PRO7 years agoDear Ajinkya,
Images that you have shown are not primarily Scandinavian. I have done one interior in Ireland for my client where we have achieved the neutral, minimal and cozy Scandinavian look. I don't have the final pictures of it yet but I am more than happy with what is being done there. If you are so much into this and really desperate enough than you need to re-imagine and reconsider your priorities of what you are trying to do here. Just because you like something, you can't become a master of it in a single shot.
