More north facing bedrooms -- need paint suggestions
Comments (5)I have untinted SW paint in my basement from the last 40% off sale because I hadn't chosen colors yet but I'm willing to consider having it tinted to a competitor's color(s). How I want the rooms to feel is a hard question. I guess I'm too analytical. Comfortable and livable -- somewhere between jarring/pay-attention-to-me and boring/bland? Guest room is rarely used, just the occasional overnight by a traveling family member. It might get more use in a few years if my kids bring friends home from college but I doubt they'll care as long as you feed them. :) Tibbrix, I'll definitely check out the other blues you suggested. I'm glad you responded because I remembered seeing that you weren't entirely happy with SW Languid Blue. Will take some photos after I get things better organized....See Morepicking paint for a north facing bedroom
Comments (3)You do not want a gray with blue undertones in a North room. North light is blue and gray and it makes a room look dull or dirty. What will work is a gray with lavender undertones. Try B.M. Slip...See MoreBest sage paint color for a north east facing bedroom?
Comments (5)I don't have any color suggestions, but...you can't accurately see the colors when they're painted on top of a colored wall. You can get some poster board, cut it in quarters, and paint those (maybe pick your top few colors from your samples) and set those against the wall in various parts of the room and look at them at different times of day. Make sure they have white behind them (another piece of posterboard) so you can see the colors accurately and not have the current yellow wall color change them....See MoreNeed help picking exterior paint colors - South West Facing House
Comments (5)I agree with the above posters- I like the current white that you have it works great with your brown roof and the black windows....See MoreRelated Professionals
