Paint Colors That Work

April 3rd, 2013 | Comments (0)

One of the most difficult decisions our clients have trouble with is the paint color.  The color of your walls sets the tone of your room and, even though it can be changed, it is a huge decision.  Painting a room is no easy task and so the idea of repainting a room you’re unhappy with is daunting.  We have scoured our favorite websites to find paint colors that work and discovered this article on Houzz.

Here’s a quick rundown:

Blue

A great choice for the bedroom because of it’s calming nature.

Greige

You’ve never heard of it?  Us either, but like the author of this article, it is a color we use often.  A mixture of grey and beige, greige is another neutral that works will in any room of the house and compliments any decor.

More or less surprising than a lavender wall?  We can’t decide, but we love this shade of pink in a living room.
