Color to paint wall unit

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

I would like to paint my wall unit since it has yellowed from the sun. Do I play it safe by painting it cream or do I go bold with dark blue? My room has a lot of cream already.

    With that rug and flooring - I'd definitely splurge on a dark blue. Arguably it's just as neutral as a color of white and will be plenty flexible for future design choices. Here's a range of some of the best dark blues.
