Please Help! Need to Pick Trim Paint Color by 11am EST Today!!
Comments (13)annz - Thanks for your reply! Ideally I'd like more time to choose. I took Forever to pick the wall colors, and drove DH up a wall (I'm surprised we're still married - ha ha!). This is my way of sort of making it up to him, lol. Although Benjamin Moore has some no voc paints that we can get locally, we choose American Pride b/c it's supposed to be non toxic (we have a baby and are renovating the entire house - which we've yet to move into, so I'm trying to be as green and non toxic as possible). sueb20 - Thank you for your suggestions! Yes, I agree that we should paint the doors and trim the same color. (Thanks for setting me straight!) And, thank goodness that the ceiling doesn't need to match the trim exactly. Atrium White and Decorators White are very pretty, but the lighting in our home was not doing them justice. And so, the winner is - Simply White! It looks white, without any gray or blue tint to it. And I like how it has a touch of warmth - as most of our colors are warm, and we have a lot of northern light. It's not my favorite white for our one Beacon Gray bathroom, but it will still look nice. As for the bedroom that will have Mascarpone on the bottom - I'm still a little concerned there b/c Simply White is very close in color and doesn't "pop" like a cooler white would, but hopefully the semi gloss sheen will help with the contrast a bit. We'll see... Overall though, I think Simply White will work really great in our home, and I'm excited to see everything painted! Thank you all again for your replies! You're the best!! :)...See Moreneed help picking trim color for great room.
Comments (4)The proper selection for the finish of the trim has a lot to do with the architecture of the home, not merely the other elements next to the trim. How about a few images so a more thoughtful solution can be presented?...See MoreNeed help picking color for stucco trim update
Comments (5)The white trim needs to be close to the color of the windows so they look more cohesive instead of two separate elements pinned together. Also the trim around the door needs to be the same color as the door for the same reason....See MoreHELP please I need help picking exterior colors for this brick!
Comments (3)With that color of brick, any light shade of white or cream, along with darker shades like black, hunter green, or several shades of gray would look great with that brick color. What color is your roof? That's the other color you need to think about when choosing paint colors for your house. You do not want your trim clashing with it. Here are a couple of my favorite brick homes from Houzz painted with colors that would go with your brick: This shade of gray would work really well with the color of your bricks....See Moreklupu
