Wall paint colors

4 years ago

Hello, we are.purchasing a home with "cola" color stained concrete and are looking for wall and ceiling paint colors. What do you recommend to make a room brighter and bigger when it has that color of stained concrete. I like the wall colors of this home. What colors did you use on the walls and trim?

Hi Kristie,

I would think to do a light with an off-white color for the walls. For this home I used Farrow & Ball “Stony Ground” #211 in “Modern Emulsion” sheen on the walls with Benjamin Moore “Swiss Coffee” for the ceilings and trim. Ceilings in “Flat” sheen and trim in “Semi-gloss” sheen.

I would also suggest considering Benjamin Moore “Ballet White” and “Tapestry Beige” for the walls…. using the same “Swiss Coffee” for the trims and ceilings.
