I really like the way the colors work in this room. I recommended this palette from Sherwin Willaims today to Rebecca in response to the picture she posted on RoomVues. She said she wanted to find a way to make her studio apartment seem more “grown up” and I think that this color palette would be a great place to start.
The color scheme includes:
SW 6400 Lucent Yellow for the walls
SW 6399 Chamomile for the trim
SW 6163 Grassland for the ceiling
Besides just having a color scheme that works this room shows several things that can be used to make a space appear larger:
- The neutral scheme with hues that blend beautifully in a low contrast palette.
- Careful placement of the black to move the eye around the room.
- Smooth rather than rough textured fabrics and surfaces.
- The mirrored coffee table “disappears” rather than stopping your eye.
- They also used a fine black pinstripe on the molding that draws the eye up and around the space.
