Using cream in your home
Cream works when the house already has warmth. Use it with wood floors, stone fireplaces, brass, linen, taupe, olive, or dark brown. North light can make cream feel useful and soft instead of cold. South light may push it yellow, especially near Glowing Plume or Alabaster samples. Do not pair cream walls with a hard blue white trim. The trim will look icy and the walls can look old by comparison.
