Soft color for your bedroom.
Gold … it’s a good investment!
Love green and gold? My client does! Thornton Oaks, Charlotte.
The wall color and drapery should look like they belong together. See the green from the wall color in the fabric? It ties in beautifully.
You can put dark colors in small bathrooms. Color won’t make your bathroom and bigger so you might as well make it an amazing color. Look how cozy this small bathroom is? I used a toasty color just on one wall and a creamy beige on the other. Black accents look amazing in this loo.
Taking a color from the bedding is a really good idea to unify the look of a guest bedroom. What came first – the wall color or bedding? You’ll never know!
Having a little fun in this guest room with a light lavender to pick up the purple hues in the art and bedding.
From the bedroom of this home in the Cureton subdivision in Waxhaw, this slivery blue was just what the client wanted! I choose a paint color that incorporates both the silver accessories and the blue in the bedding – together – it’s the perfect color for this master.
This is a home located in The Chimney’s of Marvin/Waxhaw NC. This large home has a very open floor plan. The main color palette as you can see is blue. The beautiful painting over the fireplace was the inspiration piece for the entire home.
This foyer is part of the same home in Marvin. See the colors I chose here? Can you see them again in the inspiration painting? When you have a two story foyer such as this one, it’s imperative that the rest of your color palette coordinates with this because you can see this room from just about all rooms in the lower level.
Located in Mt. Lebanon Pennsylvanian, this very color living room was actually mine! The dilemma here was working with the aqua sofa. I was very limited in the colors that I could use and beige was not an option. So, gold it was! This very warm hue was just what this cozy little living room needed!
Here is another home located in The Chimney’s of Marvin. Another consideration that is important is ethnicity and culture. The homeowner was of Indian decent and wanted very vibrant colors. This gold is just what they wanted!
FYI: Keep in mind that colors that may be beautiful to us can be offensive to certain cultures.
Gray. Very classy and still very popular – as it should be! You can do so much with it. It can be part of a coastal palette, contemporary – just about anything. Undertone are key to choosing the right gray for you.
Purple and lavender are some other colors that are a bit trendy but really cool if you know how to use them. We don’t want a Barney purple room but this soft lavender will help any guest to sleep in no time at all.
Aren’t you glad it’s not a red dining room? That’s one of my peeves that I constantly write about. It’s not that a red dining room is unattractive it’s just so. very. typical. Why hire a Color Specialist if you just want typical color? You can go to the box stores for that























The beige one with the chandelier and window ,..what color is that?
It’s actually two colors – The top one is Hampshire Taupe but be real careful with this one -it’s a pinky beige and can turn your room in to one big band-aid depending how your lighting is. Paint out a sample first.
hi what is the color of the foyer?
sorry the foyer in the Marvin home
If i hold my curser over it ,..it says “marvin DR tollbrothers”…and it says “decorating by Donna 2012″…it looks likea shade of beige…
Toll Brothers is the builder who built that home in Marvin. There are two colors there, a beige and a blue/gray. The homes here in South Charlotte are very open and the rooms spill into one another so the colors have to be really good friends to live so close together.
I normally don’t give out the names of colors Dinelia but I do have color consultations available if you would like a specific name. The reason I mentioned the color above in a comment is because it’s a red flag color and I don’t recommend using it unless a Professional approves it for the lighting conditions in your home. It’s a pinky beige and really only fits in very few decors. I do have a one-color consult option for $35 and will be able to tell you the name of the Marvin home color if you’d like to proceed. It’s a gorgeous blue and the home really came out beautiful.Thanks so much!
ok thank you..i just saw your comment,..o…about the band-aid issue,…im looking to paint my house a neutral color,…im not having a good time..
