I love color! I am going to be painting my house soon also. Gotta invest in paint first. I have an open concept townhouse. I want to paint the hallway coming in light, bright yellow, and the stairway going to the upstairs hallway, yellow also. My kitchen is a light neon green, very pretty color. I want to paint my dining/living room area a grayish green, one shade darker on the vertical walls and one shade lighter on the horizontal walls. Then I have this vision of a deep raspberry color on this tiny wall in the dining room and then painting squares in the raspberry over the couch and hanging wall hangings in them. I think it looks sooo nice with the green colors I picked.
I need to paint my finished basement also. Its a nice basement but its painted this god awful blue. Its like ice blue and there is a neon light down there... makes what could be cozy just cold and stark looking. I have not decided on a color for down there yet though. IM thinking a deep purple and getting a new regular light, not fluorescent.
Good Luck with your painting!
Oh I painted my bedroom a deep gold color with khaki (army green) trim on all the woodwork. I would leave wood a woodcolor if it were me, but the wood in that room was already painted white. I love the combination of the colors I picked though, I just wish the room was not so dark. Remember dark colors absorb light, so if you do a darker color you'll need more lights in the room.
