Today’s color dilemma…

I would like to paint an interior bathroom with no windows that is shared by my teenage son and daughter. Any suggestions for a color that would brighten up this small, dark room? –Denise

Kate suggests…

For small spaces without natural light I recommend a color or combinations of colors that refract light. This doesn’t mean that you must use white or pastels just don’t use colors that absorb light such as deep blue, burgundy, dark green or purple.

I would choose a full spectrum paint color because they have life even in low light.

Two colors that could work are lobster bisque or puppy fur from Citron Paint. Both of colors would work well in a bathroom, add a bit of warmth and aren’t too masculine or feminine.

Plus even teenagers might find it hard to resist a paint color called ‘puppy fur’
