We have whisper white through most of the house - walls, doors, frames and ceilings.

Our lounge/library is full strength hogsbristle. DH's office and our bedroom are ecru. The ecru is a beautiful colour that is richer than white but subtler than the hogsbristle

If you're going a neutral sort of colour, use the same colour in either full strength or half strength of what your walls are on your ceilings. It makes a huge difference to the seemless sort of look, and the good old white ceiling sometimes clashes with other off whites.

happy to do you some pictures or ours too D. Will put the on MMM

Have fun. i love decorating and renos
