Let's Talk Paint!

Let’s Talk paint! Our most frequently asked questions are all about which paint are our “go-tos”. As a design firm, we love color and absolutely LOVE to try new colors; however, it’s always good to have our classic go-to whites and greys for main spaces and use more “fun” colors in personal spaces such as nurseries, kids’ rooms, or powder baths.

We’re going to walk you through our newly completed Westlake Village Project to show which colors we used for this remodel. Can’t wait to hear which are your favorites and if you’ve used these colors yourselves!

XO,

For the main space we chose to do the walls, trim, ceilings and doors in Benjamin Moore White Dove. This is one of our classic, go-to soft whites. Not too stark, not too yellow- it’s just right! It has just the perfect amount of warmth while still reading whiter and brighter than the infamous “Swiss Coffee.”

We wanted the shiplap to be a cleaner, crisper white than the walls so we decided to use Benjamin Moore OC-151 White. Yes, you read that right it’s just-white and it’s just the right white!

For the Dining Room, we wanted to use a cool neutral blue-grey. The client wanted the space to feel warm, inviting, and happy. We painted the walls Dunn Edwards Cold Wind and paired it with Benjamin Moore White Dove trim to create the perfect coastal-cool atmosphere!

We had a lot of fun with accent walls in the upstairs rooms. Our clients didn’t want to commit to a high end wallpaper so we decided that fun accent walls were a non-committal way to add a pop of color to their bedroom spaces.

In the master bedroom we accented the white by using Dunn Edwards Storm Cloud on the Bed Wall. It was the perfect charcoal tone we were looking for!

In the office, we painted the fireplace wall a gorgeous deep navy blue. Disclaimer: This paint color photographs significantly more blue than navy, but we definitely recommend pulling a color sample of this for your next “navy blue need.” This navy tone suits the masculine vibe that we’re going for in the office. The color we used was Dunn Edwards Good Night.

For the son’s room we choose to paint all of the walls in Dunn Edwards Cloud, a soft, sweet gray. Our goal was to create a scandanavian, modern farmhouse fusion and this color combination created a soft, cozy feeling that lent itself well to both design styles.

Last, but certainly not least was the nursery. We wanted this room to feel warm and earthy. We chose a subtle green, Sherwin Williams “Contented” for the main walls and chose Sherwin Williams “Jade Dragon” for the crib wall.

We hope you enjoy using these paint colors as much as we did! Looking forward to hearing your favorites in the comments below!
