Choosing the Right Wall Color


Choosing the right wall color is incredibly important when designing a room.  We hear all of the time that paint is the least expensive way to transform a space, but what if you choose the wrong color?  



The result could be a costly re-do.  These clients meant well, but often we don't know what a color will look like on the wall from just one little chip.  That is why I wanted to share my go to paint colors.  These are the colors that I consider tried and true, and those that you can't go wrong with in 2011.




I like to use Benjamin Moore Paints.  They are very high quality and many of my favorite colors are offered as affordable color samples.  It is important to try any color on your walls first before committing.
