What shade of grey should I paint my walls?

For smaller rooms with less light, choose warmer greys. For rooms with lots of natural light you then have the option of cooler greys. I prefer warmer greys, I don't want rooms feeling colder or darker than some of them already are! Warm tones really help when your desired colour palette is grey. 

What colours to paint walls with grey cabinets, furniture or floors?

How to paint over grey walls, or dark grey walls to turn them white?

Painting over grey requires the use of a colour balancing undercoat to make sure you get an even colour over the top of the existing dark grey paint. Use a white undercoat such as the Graphenstone trade emulsion before your top coat of Graphenstone white emulsion will make sure your white covers well. If you are using Auro paints, then just use the Auro 524 as the white topcoat, and water thin a coat first to use as the undercoat. 

Should I paint my walls white or grey?

Painting your walls white, or off white can help a room seem larger, cleaner and more open, ideal for small rooms or just rooms with small windows. Lighter greys provide a neutral backdrop, and darker greys are a bit more cosy when paired with earthy coloured fabrics and furnishings. Warmer greys are better for darker rooms, but cooler greys can work if you have more natural light.
