I need some interior color ideas

[mmm240]

I'm painting my living room/kitchen/hallway tomorrow and don't know what color to choose. I know white goes with everything, but I don't want it to be boring.

Maybe a white, but a not often used white?

Lemme know whatcha got!

If it was my place I would go with a neutral color, that way if you decide to sell the house down the road you won't have to repaint to cater to potential buyers. They also go with about any decor.

My ideas are tan, beige, off white, light gray or something in that area. They also are clean colors and appeal to the widest range of tastes.

Here are some samples:

^^What he said about colors... and also.. it's OK to use wild colors to decorate... but you don't want to use them on your walls. Paint your walls a neutral color and use the wild colors to accessorize.. like for drapes or pillows or throws. The only rule is to make sure the wild color doesn't absolutely clash with the neutral color... like you don't want to use a pale yellow for your walls and a fluorescent purple color for your accents.

Example



My dining area. I like reds and oranges and yellows... but not so much that they overpower the room... so I painted my walls a clay color and accented with the other colors. That way if I get sick of looking at those colors I don't have to repaint the whole room. I just have to switch out accents and it's a totally different look.

Also if you spend a lot of time cooking you will want to go lighter in the kitchen than in the other rooms. You will do a lot of tedious work in the kitchen and it helps to have a bright and cheerful room to work in.

The best bet for color co-ordination is just to look out the window. Nature coordinates colors beautifully.

(I'm sorry... decorating is kinda a hobby of mine... I'll shut up now)

I just recently did my interior in a subtle green. It's neutral enough to compliment the other colors I have. I'd go for any light green or a nice bright color to open op the room.
