Help, my walls are white, is a cry I hear often. People always seem to be afraid of color and afraid of choosing the wrong color. As a designer and home stager, entering a home with white walls is common. I see homes that have been builder white for years.
Recently, I have been helping a client put together her new space after downsizing from a larger home. The seller had painted the walls white so the first order of business was to choose paint colors.
Here is a side note to everyone who will be putting their home up for sale, do not paint your walls white. Color on your walls will be a memory point for potential buyers. There are a lot of homes on the market and buyers view many before they make a choice. A buyer needs something to help them remember one space from another, wall color will help. This is especially true in newer developments where the floor plans are all very similar.
Back to my project at hand. As stated in a previous blog about painting, there always needs to be a reason for the color you choose. In this case the paint color is a beautiful soft yellow that picks up the background color of the bedding.
What makes a room interesting is the combination of color, pattern and texture. Carry through the theme but do not over power a room by cluttering it with too much of the same thing. The accessories you choose should make a statement. We found the bird at a discount store and it picked up on all the colors found in the bedding. You will have to wait to see the finished room, it is still a work in progress.
