My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What colour to paint entire interior

11 years ago
What color to paint. Our entire house is painted one color...yes walls, doors, trim and casings. It is a mustard beige and we are tired of it. We have a fairly dark house and want to lighten...will re-do all trim in white. Looking at Revere Pewter or Stone Hearth BenMooreCC-490. Any suggestions are welcome. Want to stay on the warm tones.

    If you want warm and light...do not do gray! Gray makes homes cold and dreary. Painting your trim white will do a lot to brighten your house! Are you planning to paint it ALL the same color again?
