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.

Dark room needs a paint color’

7 years ago
We have a young child’s room that has one window and it is in the back of the house so trees don’t allow much morning light. It’s a dark room. Our house is full of grays and blues and some SW sea salt. I’m looking for a light blue that isn’t a baby blue or a periwinkle. SW icicle and BM iceberg are showing purple hues. We want a color that looks good with pops of aqua, pink, blue.

Anyone know of a color?! Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore colors preferred. Thanks!

    I would suggest going with a warm color vs. a cool color such as a light soft yellow or pumpkin.
