Oh goodness! What color would you paint this room?
Comments (10)I can never pick colors out of the blue, (no pun intended) but need an inspiration piece to give me a direction...be it either a pic from a magazine, a piece of art, a vase, very often fabric I'll use in the space, or once, even the color of my cat's eyes. But once I have a color direction, all the other choices are so much easier. Not only that, but it will often take me in directions that I'd normally never ever go with surprisingly good results. Have you thought about getting a color inspiration first?...See MoreWhat color would you paint a room with this in it
Comments (27)Okay, I'm so confused now. I'm a realtor and I just saw some houses with gorgeous paint jobs. You would think this would help me but it only confuses me more. Tone on tone striped walls or just tans with reds or all one color. The rest of my house is tan with red accents. Should I really keep the boys room the same? I have been thinking all day about the blues. My thoughts are...I cannot do the dark blue so maybe the light blue from the stripe on the bed? Then the dresser and maybe the headboards painted red? What do ya'll think of this idea? Oh, and on each wall that a bed is on paint a red box and hang the pictures in that area. Or Tan walls all over with red dresser, red curtains and then on one wall a bed is on paint one dark blue box with red matted pictures and the other wall paint a red box with with dark blue matted pictures. This one sounds confused but this is the one that is very clear in my mind. I wish I had photoshop to show everyone but I'm not one of the lucky ones....See MorePaint Colors for Living Room and Kitchen
Comments (4)I think you just need a navy patterned area rug for your seating area. The colors look okay and have a coastal feel. Question: Is the stairwell a darker color then the living room wall? Maybe if you changed the lightbulbs to a white light,(non yellow) it would make a difference in how the paint color looks to you. Cheap fix This PB rug is on sale. It has all of your colors. https://www.potterybarn.com/products/adeline-rug-blue/?pkey=call-rugs&isx=0.0.5765The border is gray. same rug, but in a runner shape (model home) https://tours.stevenjamescollins.com/public/vtour/display/209715...See MoreHelp with Master Bedroom!
Comments (20)You might also consider hardwood for the hallways and stairs, or even just the upper hallways, with carpet in the bedrooms. That way, the wood matches your lower level and you don't get traffic patterns on the heavy usage areas, but still have carpet for warmth and softness in the bedrooms. Not everyone likes wood stairs, but I've never had a safety issue with them and like how easy they are to keep clean. For your question about painting after the floors, a good painter will cover the floors entirely, so they should be protected. You really need to see the floors, whether wood or carpet, to make sure your paint sample works....See MoreCarolae
