Colors can hide the imperfections present in the house and change the atmosphere altogether. A lot of factors go into selecting colors for your home, and it goes way beyond paint color. My home is still a work in progress, but now that I have created a color palette it limits my choices and creates flow from one room to another.

My main color is blue but I don't stick to just one shade of blue, I use a few different blues and even some teal. Then the pops of color come in with some light lime greens and yellows and very small pops of pink. Using two complementary colors is a great way to create a dynamic room. Hey all, as you know we have moved, which means lots of decisions are being made! I don’t know about you, but sometimes picking a paint color is HARD!

You can see how truly light and bright it is in the image above. Hi Jill…sorry for the late response…I missed your question somehow. For open concept homes, I usually use the same color throughout the open areas to keep the house looking cohesive. However, you could paint the big window wall as an accent wall since it is a natural focal point. And with all the light coming in, any color that goes with your color scheme should work. Using a whole house color scheme along with some room color psychology and tips for picking the right paint color helps me select the right colors for my room makeovers every time.

We’re going to find inspiration for possible color combinations by looking at what we’ve already chosen surrounding us. Look around your home and see if there is a color pattern that you love already. Look over your Pinterest account and see if you have pinned a lot of one color. Narrow your inspiration down to 2-3 favorite colors from those sources.
Before Choosing a Paint Color
Just the other day I had one reader ask if you could use one paint color for the whole house? These are all questions that I had when I started the process of decorating two homes that we’ve owned so far. Creating a good whole house color scheme is really a balance between diversity and unity of color. I always like to lay out my paint plans for clients so they can see how the colors will flow from front of house to back of house and from basement to top floor. Fixed finishes are the things you’re already working with, such as wood floors, cabinets, and large pieces of investment furniture.

While not many of us think much about the colors of our rooms, furniture or walls, it does affect us every day in terms of influencing our moods and thoughts. Therefore, it’s important to choose colors wisely when it comes to your personal sanctuary space called home. Place your paint samples right up against the cabinets to be sure that the tones in the wood pair well with the wall color.
Start a whole house color scheme from your most used room
Without taking away the white the room replaces some part of it with grey. This gives greater decorating freedom when used with blue color. This type of color palettes uses a light paint colour along with contrast colours that are not too bright.
Rooms that are beside each other need to share some colors in common in order to pull your eye from one room to the next. In my downstairs office, the paint is a blue-black, which is why it co-ordinates well with the blue elsewhere in the house. Finally, pick one more color that can be used as an accent color.
Pick a trim and ceiling white – and stick to it.
The idea of choosing one color for your whole house is to simplify the process of bringing in other colors, and to make your home feel cohesive and not at all disjointed. If you’re sticking with classic white trim, then you’ll want one shade of white for all the trim work, doors, moldings and casings in your home. As close in color as it is to the lightened version of Repose Gray, I find that it maintains its light and bright color more in poorly lit rooms. If you remember back to the shadows in my kitchen , Paper White will never look that warm or saturated. Repose Gray lightened by 50% with SW Pure White wainscoting.I am beyond obsessed with how light and bright it makes every room feel.

Hi Katherine…Brown is a neutral, similar to black and white. If you use that undertone as one of the colors in your color scheme, then you can balance it out just like you would with the other colors in your room. Having said that, with your dark wood flooring color, I wouldn’t be too concerned. Once you have found a black and/or white paint color that you like, re-using the same color everywhere that you are painting black or white immediately helps to tie things together.
Don’t be afraid to add an accent wall in another color, or go crazy in a powder room. This is Benjamin Moore’s brightest white, so if you want a really bright crisp white, then Chantilly Lace is the right color for you. If gray is less your style and you want a warmer neutral, Classic Gray is an excellent choice. It’s considerably warmer than the other colors mentioned above, but still has just enough gray to stop it being too warm. This way, any cool light will be offset by the warmer tones, and warmer lighting won’t completely wash out the color.
I love how much it brightened this room and it made this room look so much bigger! I was a little concerned trying to cover the dark dingy “band-aid color”, with this light color, but a good paint coupled with the constant flow of the paint stick was a perfect pair. Don’t hesitate to use specific colors across several spaces. While you may not want to use the same 3 colors in every room, carrying shades across the house will provide that exact continuity you’re craving. The post about my paint colors is actually a great way to segue into my next point. I highly recommend creating a vision for each space with your color palette in mind, like I did for my daughter’s woodland nursery.
