How to choose the ideal color for each room

Choosing the right color can completely transform a room. Beyond reflecting your style, color affects how spacious, bright, and comfortable each space feels. In this guide you'll find simple ideas to help you make a good decision.

Living room: warm, welcoming tones

Beige, warm gray, soft terracotta, and sage green create a comfortable, versatile living room. Pair them with wood, natural textiles, and cream-toned details.

Kitchen: bright, easy-to-maintain colors

Warm whites, light grays, and soft greens help create a clean, bright kitchen. To add personality, consider an accent wall or an island in a bolder shade.

Bedroom: colors that invite rest

Soft blue, lavender, sage green, and sand are excellent choices for a calm atmosphere. Avoid overly intense tones if you're going for a relaxing feel.

Bathroom: freshness and spaciousness

Whites, light blues, and pale greens make a bathroom feel fresh and spacious. Dark tones can also work well in larger bathrooms or as an elegant accent.

Hallways and entryways: a memorable first impression

Light neutrals visually widen hallways, while a deep tone at the entrance can add character. Keep the available lighting in mind before deciding.

Tips before you paint

Look at the color in both natural and artificial light, test a sample on the wall, and consider your existing furniture, flooring, and curtains. Keep in mind that the same color can look different depending on the room's orientation and size.
