Colors for Indoors

2 years ago

I REALLY struggle with choosing good colors when it comes to design. We just added new doors and windows that let in a lot of natural light. I’m a big natural sunlight girl & love a good cozy feel. We will have a flooring similar to the concrete floor color.
I quickly chose the paint colors in the picture (throw away the green). Would these be good colors for the warm yet bright feeling? Do you have any other suggestions? We will do white trim!

    Don't pick the wall colors unitl you have furniture, window coverings, and rugs.

    This is such a personal preference. Always go with colors you love, you feel most comfortable with. Back in the day I had my season/color done as was all the rage. As it turned out I am an autumn and my home reflects that. It's where I feel most embraced. It's not the easiest to work through all the seasons with but in the end it's still my home and I have to live here.

    Wall color last choice and if there is a must to choose now I usually do something like this cut 50% for just a hint of color and before doing that change all the light bulbs to LED 4000K or go 3500K but no lower . I find this color a true neutral ( think nature ) 4000K mimics bright daylight in lighting that is why I use it since I too love lots of light BTW this is a BM color

    Please tell me you are updating the lighting. That will do way more to give you the warm cozy feeling you want than a paint color. You need to have your lighting, flooring, cabs, countertops and backsplash finalized before thinking about paint. And art and curtains etc.

    Lighting will be getting updated. Also be a little more kind please. This project fell into our hands and we are doing what we can now. Cabinets are staying. Furniture with have an industrial look in the living room.

    I am sorry how are we not being kind? You ask for advice and you are getting it there is no unkindness in these answers just real advice . To be blunt beige is the last color I would choose ever for walls so that is my take on the wall color .

    When you say the flooring will be the color of the concrete, will it be a grey LVP? since you mention coziness being important than I would think about skipping a grey floor and going for a warm, natural look wood floor

    1. Consider the important givens: cabinetry, natural/artificial light’s effects, room’s furniture/accessories, and the connection to adjoining spaces. A big consideration is the concrete and search Pinterest for help; I searched dark concrete floor and wall colors.


    2. Choose a color “family”, based on how you want room to feel, over and above warm/bright, and be cognizant of their different undertones.

    3. Wait until floor is redone and suggest a neutral. A paint consultant can help narrow down and you can also find useful info like below. Be sure to test a few on different areas and compare during the day and night.

    This is a warm green that looks gorgeous with gray…can you post what you consider industrial, it would really help..maybe photos of some of your furniture pieces..or inspiration photos you like.

    If you're going for an industrial modern look, I'd leave the walls white and bring in caramel leather, natural woods, and strong accent colors with textiles. See inspo photos below:
