Chalk windows and white architrave/skirting??

katie275 · 11-10-2019 01:34PM #1

I got new windows and doors installed yesterday, I told the sales rep that I wanted chalk exterior and white interior, but they have installed chalk inside and outside. My plan was to get white shutters and architrave / skirting and now I'm worried that it will look weird against the chalk. Does anyone have photos or have similar and think it looks fine?
I've probably got no recourse because I don't have written proof that I asked for white inside.
Thanks in advance!!

We have quite a bit of white in our home and found that there are hundreds of shades of ‘white’. Our white windows that we got last year were definitely a warmer white (on the way to ivory) than we expected. It was noticeable against our neighbours that were more brilliant white.

A factor that could determine whether you’d notice it or not is the light coming into the room. For us, our white blinds, skirting etc are close to brilliant white but we don’t see it against the window frame because they are only in the north side of the house and the blinds cover a lot of it.

This is the colour, it’s a good bit from brilliant white

Hard to tell from the photo as the lighting is quite warm. Your blinds supplier should be able to give you a book of samples of the various blinds colours to work out the best combination.

I’m surprised there was no written record, but not surprised a rep would verbally agree and then not provide what you wanted.
