I painted my new basement art studio paper white (Benjamin Moore) and I love it. It’s very soothing and a good neutral background when dealing with my work, which is on the garish side.

What is the best background colour for your studio walls & why does it matter?

What type of arts or crafts do you want to do in your upcoming creative room? Different arts and crafts need different things.

Who is the artist that will use the studio / That is who should be choosing the wall color.

I will use the room to do my own drawing and painting and also a place where my grandchildren can paint and draw. I thought about painting the small area in the back of the room (3'x7') with Eider White and the room that is attached (7'x10') in either SW homburg Gray or SW Gauntlet or SW Dovetail. Would those 3 choices be too dark for such a small area? Thank you in advance.

Then you definitely want to paint it white, as colors will skew the color of your painting medium and art work..

I agree all white & let the art be the colors in the room. Great to be doing art as a family!
