One of the more enjoyable decisions to make is what colour to paint the walls. However, to do that one must decide upon cabinetry colours/styles, flooring choices, countertops, trim, doors, etc. etc. first. Or vice versa.
We've gathered several potential options, painted boards and moved them round each space to see how the light affects the colours, during both the daytime and the evening, under natural and artifical lighting, considering furniture and artwork that might impact on them and squinting to imagine expanses of floor and wall from little bitty pieces. Here's a selection of options we like. Any thoughts?
A friend of ours painted the interior of his entire summer house the same colors: white ceiling, sage green walls, dark brown/burgundy floors, white semi-gloss on trim, doors, etc. It was wonderfully simple.
ReplyDeleteFor now, I would recommend one color (very, very light green or white) on all surfaces--EXCEPT paint one "feature" wall a solid, medium to dark hue like the sage green or taupe. I think the wall running along the west side of the office would be a good wall to make a feature as it will tie together the office area. Hate that word "feature" but anyway. I like Benjamin Moore paint--very opaque.
