Next I'm going to share with you a few tips that you should know about Benjamin Chantilly Lace.
Chantilly Lace Design Tip 1: Hidden Undertones
If you're thinking about painting your main interior walls with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace, assuming you have the right lighting and interior design layout to pull it off, then you need to be aware of the other undertones in your fixed elements.
For example, if you have pink or taupe floor tiles, then don't be surprised to see pink undertones on your interior walls. This is because the color of the tiles will get reflected on the walls.
The same is true for what you have outside of your windows. For example, if you or your neighbor has a stained fence with red undertones, then don't be surprised to see pink undertones on your walls. And if you have a lot of trees or green landscape outside your windows, then don't be surprised to see green undertones on the interior walls of your home.
So please be mindful of the undertones that can influence how Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace will look in your home as I want you to get it right and not make a costly mistake.
Chantilly Lace Design Tip 2: Kitchen Cabinets
The biggest mistake I see people make every day is selecting the wrong off-white or any paint color for their kitchen cabinets because the paint color doesn't pair correctly with the fixed elements in the kitchen. Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace pairs well with cool fixed elements that have gray, off-white, blue or green undertones but be mindful of the lighting in your kitchen.
Be careful with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace as a kitchen cabinet paint color because it can come across as too stark and almost clinical in your kitchen. If you have warm earthy kitchen countertops that have beige or cream, then I recommend you stay away from Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace.
