getting ready to sell my house, can't decide what color to paint the walls
Comments (4)They might have said it was stark because it's a cool color. One of the neat things about different colors is that they are all varied combinations of red, green and blue. This creates warm colors (more red), cool colors (more blue), and neutral (balanced). moonlit snow probably had more blue tones, so it will give a colder feel. A light color is definitely the way to go, but be aware if its a cooler color (less inviting) or it's warmer, which will feel cozier and more inviting. Go with a beige that is slightly warm, but not too yellow, or a grey beige that is neutral....See MoreWhat neutral colour sofas would work best with the grey wall and gold
Comments (7)I believe that you could introduce color but in a more "elegant" matter. The color of sofas or furniture are good that shade but would be even better white with gold or deep wood trims (kind of a vintage/glamour vibe). The mirror is a good choice in the room, but I would upgrade it to something with more design and length. Add some fresh flowers (white, pink, whatever is light and helps introduce a new color), candles, glass (small little decor idems to accessorize the fireplace). A rug would be great and make the room much more cozy but also keep it looking beautiful, if it were me I'd add a fo-white fur rug. a glass table I like the accents you have which could work, depending on what furniture and layout you decide upon. I do think you should choose some new curtains that are both floor length, layering curtains is fabulous, but also having light and lowy could work. Depending on the use of the room. I really do think having white flowy curtains would really help color balance out. Again Color add it in with throw pillows choose your palette based on what you are going for. Personally for this room I would go with Whites, Rose pink, sky blue, Gold, Silvers. I think of glamour when i see this so add flowers, texture, crystal-like stuff make it sparkle. This room really has a lot of potental, best of wishes making it your own. **side note** also having one larger couch or sofa and side chairs around the fireplace could make it more inviting...See Morebest neutral paint colors for walls
Comments (1)I was thinking Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter??!...See MoreBest neutral for an overall interior color for the whole house.
Comments (4)When we bought our house in Memphis two years ago, I wanted to find a greige color that would work for my house. My designer friend suggested Benjamin Moore's Bleaker Beige. I tried to find the closest match in the Valspar line....and got several sample pots. My living room which faced southwest was bright in the afternoons and Oatbran (Valspar) worked nicely in there. However, I also had dark hallways and I painted them Woodrow Wilson Putty (lighter, on the same chip as Oatbran)....and nobody knew they were not the same color. I found out that the best thing to do is to find a few tints/shades/tones of the color that you like. Get poster boards and paint them with your choices. Put these boards on the walls in the rooms and look at them at different times of the day. It helps you get a better idea of what they will look like. I learned a hard lesson once when a paint that I thought was a beige turned out peachy because of the exposure! I hated it. Looking at the pictures on the internet does not help at all because they are under different exposures. Good luck! We are getting ready to close on a different house and I am going through the same process again!...See MoreDenita
