Am I crazy?

With that said, I have a bedroom facing South South West. Room size 10×12 with one tall window mostly facing South West with oak trees outside. This room is connected to another room with a bathroom between. These room do not face each other but you can see them both when your in the bathroom. The wall color in the other bedroom is a BM Manchester Tan and the hallway leading to these two rooms are BM Bennington Gray (a designer helped with this many year ago). I need to refresh this current bedroom and the bathroom that join the two rooms together.

All the colors mentioned are definitely on the warm side but I do want to incorporate some coolness to the bathroom and current room having it all make sense and so there still is a good flow.

The bathroom is very small with one window above the toilet facing the west only. The midday sun is over the house and there are trees in the neighbors yard. This bathroom does see both rooms. I would like to lighten it up with some softness and character. I was looking at SW Lullaby and SW North Star and SW Upward. I don’t want a pure blue room totally but don’t mind the undertones. It can look like a light blue but something pretty and soft with shade and sun.

The connecting bedroom, I am struggling with. I definitely do not want creamy or green. Green comes in very strong when room in shaded from the trees outside. I need the color to flow to the hallway (BM Bennington Gray). I can’t have the color to close to the hallway color, its too much. So need more a neutral with a coolness perhaps to blend with bathroom hallway. Not asking for much am I, haha. I really need help. I have watched the videos and read your blogs and keep getting paint swatchs and putting them on white background but am feeling I am not getting any closer. Oh, I only have a ceiling fan with a light kit in this room with warm light. when there is shade, there is shade in both rooms.

I am praying you can help with suggestions on both rooms. The trims are a crisp white, extra white.

Thank you so much.

Wondering what your opinion is on it as a nursery color with white trim and ceilings. We don’t want something too bold or gray that looks gloomy. Hoping for a nice peaceful, blue/gray that looks relaxing!

We are thinking of painting SW tradewind for our exterior front door and shutters. For the body of the house, what neutral colors complement tradewind? Whites/off whites/beiges? Thanks!

Hi Patti! Unfortunately I just use SW and BM. I’ve tried doing it with Dulux but just found their ranges too limiting!

My painter has a strong preference for Dulux and I didn’t know if you worked with their palette or now. Thanks very much

Hi Jeffrey, thank you so much for your note! When it comes to personal questions I do refer to my E-design, which is my main business. I try to give as much complimentary info on my blog and if that doesn’t work it might be time for me to take a closer look! https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/online-decorating-design-services/

Hi Natasha! I think the problem I came across with Australia before was that you only had CIL dulux paint. If you happen to have a Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams, I can definitely help, and understand that the exposure are reversed compared to where I live 😉 We also use a lot of slate up here in Canada, so I’m familiar with many of them…

Hi Bernie, thank you! Now I do try to give as much complimentary info as i can on my blog and if that doesn’t work, it might be time for some E-design, this way I can throw colours at you after seeing your room/exposure/flooring/etc…if that interests you, it’s affordable and fun! https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/online-decorating-design-services/

You are so talented!! I am looking for a soft blue (LRV 60s) paint color with no green undertones for a west facing master bedroom. Our furniture is medium brown sleigh bed style and our linens are white. Do you think BM Beacon Gray would work? Any other thoughts? Many thanks!

Hi Wendy, they are SO similar, Comfort Gray leans just a wink more green, but really it would be hard to really clarify the exact difference. Normal BM or SW colours are usually made up of 3-4 colours, whereas BM’s AFfinity line can have 7-8, meaning they are far more complex and prone to change throughout the day – and Tranquility is one of those!

Thinking of painting our master bedroom one of these colors. Thank you!

Hi Christianne, that was SW Wall Street, super gorgeous, eh?! And that hallway is SW Wool Skein which I just did a colour review on last week!

Great timing on this e-newsletter as I’m literally at the point of choosing a lovely blue to carry throughout my home. Can you tell me what paint colour was shown in the picture just under the three whites please ? It’s absolutely gorgeous. I’m assuming that the paint colour in the hallway would be something like a BM Navajo White or the sort, right ? It appears to be a bit more on the creamy side than the painted trim. I’m utterly in love with that picture ! Thanks for your input.
