So, I've finished fleshing out my wishlist. Would appreciate if anyone with any experience with these paints could give me some feedback?- CEILINGS - tikkurilaanti-reflex-white-2- WALLS -tikkurila optiva-ceramic-super-matt-3- WOOD/SKIRTING BOARDS - dulux-trade-brilliant-white-satinwood-multi-surface-paintDoes anyone have any experience with these Tikkurila paints? Any feedback would be appreciated!!
The decorator I am using approves, but did NOT originally recommend them and says he can't source them, so I'll have to get them myself at RRP.
Kindly let me know your thoughts, if any spring to mind

This is more of an opinion than a fact. Some people prefer to 'dim' naturally light rooms and 'brighten up' darker rooms while more recently you'll find decorating advice to paint small, dark rooms in a dark colour paint to make them feel cosy. It's more a question of what you think feels right in your home, rather than current fashion for colour theory.proformance said:I heard that you should opt for a more "brilliant white" in rooms with abundant natural light and a more tinted (yellow-tinted) white for rooms with less natural light. Anyone got an opinion on this?0 -
Where I live there is a community scheme recycling paint. They also have paint donated by the big brands.
Loads cheaper than shops and they're knowledgeable and helpful.
Might be worth seeing if there's similar in your area.0
