    Default Black Architraves???

    Out bathroom has a mosaic federation tiles on the floor with white wall tiles up to 1 meter finished with black capping.

    the toilet/vanity/tallboy are all white.

    i have done a shabby chic style architrave and it just doesnt feel right.

    my missus reckons painting it black.

    what do you all reckon?

    I wouldn't. Not because of decor considerations or anything arty like that - who'm I to tell you what your tastes should be, anyway? - but simply 'cos in my experience dark paint seem to show up dirt/condensation marks much more than lighter colours (in a well lit room) and, being architrave, will be that much harder to reach to clean...
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
