The Wicker House Paint Colors
I know I've already shared a post of our home's paint colors with you once before, but that was a while a go and so I've decided it was time for an updated post. I did share this post over at City Farmhouse not too long ago, so it's likely you've seen it already.
Believe it or not, I actually have a really tough time choosing paint colors for our domestic. There are so many specific colors accessible to choose from that it makes locating the correct color for a space a bit overwhelming.
My process for choosing a new color for our walls goes a little something like this; first, I gather inspiration from my Pinterest boards and decide on a look that I want to achieve. Then I tape up a bunch of color chips and envision what each color may look like on the whole wall. I remove the ones that I know are just not right. Once I have narrowed my choices down to under five, I'll head to Lowes to pick up some small sample paints and paint small sections on the wall. From here, I'll have my husband, Jake make the final choice. Jake is a natural at choosing colors for our home and so far he hasn't let me down.
By sharing our paint shades with you these days, I'm hoping that I let you with the aid of letting you spot how these specific shades appearance in a room. You will probably note that these shades all glide nicely collectively for the duration of our home, this is some thing that is crucial to preserve in thoughts whilst choosing new colorings for your own homes.
Lets start with our the front door.
Going with this bright of a blue for our front door was a big move for me. As you can see from the above color palette, I usually stick with light and calming colors, but this pop of color was just what the exterior of our house needed, and I have never regretted painting it.
In fact, I appreciated this colour a lot that I painted the interior aspect of the door as properly.
I like that this cheerful color is the primary element you spot whilst getting into our home and the last impact you get while leaving it. This by using a long way needs to be the maximum requested about shade in our domestic.
When you stroll into our home you're greeted into our open living and dining room. I stored the areas undivided with the aid of painting it all in the same shade.
This smooth blue is light sufficient that it works awesome as a herbal.
I additionally think this color looks definitely pretty with all of the white molding that wraps around the room.
Off of the residing room is our sunroom/home office. In here I even have used a warm grey at the walls.
I actually repainted this room right before Christmas last year. I was looking to bring in a more cozy feeling to this space during the holidays. You can see HERE that I was able to achieved the look I was going for.
Our kitchen has probably been painted greater times than some other room in our home. At the moment I even have this teal color on the walls.
There is a lot white on this room that simply any coloration I paint in right here goes to pop and look high-quality.
In our kitchen I have also painted the wood stove mount, the cabinets, as well as the title back splash. So ya, I certainly wasn't lying when I said I've painted a lot in here. You can see what our kitchen looked like before in this post HERE.
In my boy's shared bedroom I went with a medium gray color called, Secret Passage. Great name for a boy's room, right? Sometimes it's the paint names that are the deciding factor, am I right?
I recently gave my boy's room an update by painting their beds and rearranging their room. You can read more about it in this post HERE.
The predominant lavatory in our domestic has army tiles at the counter tops and military and white tiles on the ground, so it turned into a no brainer to go along with blue paint on the walls.
You can see more of our main bathroom, along with the DIY bathroom sign on the door in this postHERE.
Heading upstairs is the master suite. I wanted to paint the walls up here white, but when it came time to paint, I went with a bit of an off-white instead. I wanted to give the room a soft feel, and I was concerned that a white might be a bit stark.
This coloration is simply quite, I'm truly taking into account the usage of it once more in different areas of our domestic.
Oh, and did you know those aren't real planks on my walls? I've actually drawn them on with a pencil.
You can learn how HERE.
And the ultimate room in our home that I wanted to proportion with you is the master rest room. This shade has a bit greater blue in it then it seems in the sample.
With the angled ceiling taking up much of the wall space, I made the decision to use one continuous color on all of it. I also wanted to have a color that blended with the tile rather than compete with it, so this color was a winner for sure.
As for all of the white in our home; The trim, doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, All of it, if you see white then this is the paint I used to paint it. Olympic One is my absolute favorite. I just grab it off of the shelf at Lowes. I'll have it stirred, but never tinted. I've actually gotten in a few arguments with the Lowes associates claiming that I HAVE to tint it, but I have found that I like it just the color it is.
And that completes our home's paint colors tour ... well for now, I'm sure I'l be back to choosing new colors to repaint these rooms in no time. I have a problem, I just enjoy freshly painted wall too much.
