Color Inspiration


We knew that we wanted our bedroom to feel bright and alive, and loved the fresh look and contrast of light walls and trim vs. a bold accent wall. Our house is an 1898 colonial, so the rooms themselves are pretty small. Knowing this, we decided to go with white wall and trim in order to make the room feel a little bigger. Our paint choice of Behr Pepper Grass came to us after looking through hundreds of magazines, blogs, storefront displays and paint chips.

That green is my most favorite color in the whole world, which draws me back to your photos again and again. Love the soothing black/white/green combo, but would love to see some bigger, crazier accessories to make this room. Two huge sunshine yellow ceramic lamps on the bedside tables? A shelf of Bitossi rimini blue ceramic animals? A chunky textured throw pillow or blanket somewhere? You say your house is small, and I get that it's hard to show more than one view of your room, but, again, it would be so great to see just a little more personality injected into the room! :)

Very nice room, Michael. The green and black combo is "bright" and yet the lack of clutter (both in color and "stuff") is restful. I like it!

I love the color scheme - good for couples, not too masculine or girly.
