Painting flat on a budget

kyleporter

I have just got the keys to my flat. I'm in a rush to get it but it needs to be completely decorated. If the entire flat was painted white do you think thy would be a bit cold? Would I be better going
Magnolia or a cream...

I think it would be perfect to paint the whole flat white. You can add colour over time, it will give you time to get a proper feel for the flat and how you'd eventually like it to look or work out your style.

Do you not think it may feel a little cold being all white.

Magnolia is really nice, we are painting the majority of our house magnolia soon.

painting the whole house white will look horrible plus it will show every little dent or flaw in the walls, much better going for maggie

I hate both magnolia and cream.Just overused,dull and they don't make me feel comfortable at all.

I prefer white to both but I'm liking lighter greys at the moment and it can look lovely for both modern style decor and period style too.It's also less harsh than white but is closer to that 'no colour effect' than any other colour (if that makes any sense lol gives a blank canvass that looks clean)

white will look a bit clinical , get a tub of dulux supermatt magnolia for around £34-40 10 litres , will probably do the whole flat
