Paint - Spanish Style LR and DR
12 years ago
Just bought a beautiful Spanish Style 1930s home. Deciding on paint. I really like Elmira White for the walls. What are some recommendations for BM paints for trim that go with Elmira White? Are there any other wall color recommendations for Spanish/Mediterranean style?
P.S. Don't pay attention to the furniture, they're from the past owners.

- PRO12 years agoI would need to know more information about what colors you would like in the house overall, as well as what you already have in your furniture and accessories.
Also, need to see photo of your fireplace.
Thanks.

I have the following BM wall colors for the other rooms.
Master BR - Tapestry Beige
2nd BR - Silvery Blue
3rd BR - Buttermilk
In the living room we have a beige sofa with grey undertones.
Does that help?
- PRO12 years agoSo, it sounds like you have light neutrals in the house. You could highlight your fireplace or you could go with a medium-tone gray that would highlight the tray, but not be too jarring.
It is really hard to say without seeing your actual furniture. (Or is that photo your furniture?)
