We just stained our section fences with Wattle Ebony from Mitre 10. Was looking for a charcoal color too, not much flexibility in color options with stains from the shelves at store. We sprayed on, rather than brushing. Is cost a concern? One of our to be neighbours was doing there fences at the same time with paint, he said he used nearly 100L of paint for 2 coats, we used nearly 50L in 2 costs - had similar amount of fences. I've included photo of it after the 2 coats

Hey there. Go for a cooler colour palette and draw the eye to a focal point at the end of the hallway, a console table, artwork, a mirror etc. A cooler paint colour helps the small space visually recede. In terms of the doors, going slighter darker will again make the space feel bigger. Go half a shade lighter on the low ceiling than the walls, using the same colour, rather than bright white, which will look dirty in the low light. Good luck!

Have you tried the Dulux Visualizer. I have used this personally and found it to be quite helpful. It allows you to take a photo of your home and then experiment with different colours to see what works best. Another option you might consider is the Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap® Visualizer app. It allows you to upload a photo of your home and then try out different paint colours and combinations to see what looks best. I hope this helps!

We have a 1980 home which - in its day - was covered in a plethora of wallpaper . The last owners decided to paint over the wallpaper with a very inexpensive paint (also not the best quality). How can I upgrade the wall - sanding, cleaning, etc … to have the best result? And what type or brand of paint would you suggest? Also, they loved a variety of “whites” resulting in an inconsistent palette! Any favourite white suggestions are appreciated!!
