I often receive emails from readers asking for help choosing color schemes for their homes. There’s rarely a single right answer because so many attractive options and combinations exist. Boldly mixing and matching paint colors into fresh palettes gives you freedom to express your own style and create rooms with personality.
Paint lets you play with countless combinations. In connected rooms you can create visual interest by introducing an unexpected hue in one space, or maintain continuity by repeating similar shades—or even the exact same color—from room to room.
In my home I usually prefer subtle shifts in color, but every now and then I reach for something more dramatic—like the vibrant blue I used in my office—to change the tone. When I’m out shopping for paint supplies I enjoy making a game of experimenting with sample cards at The Home Depot to explore new palettes and possibilities.
The Home Depot created a pretty fall palette showcased in the dining room above. My daughters and I loved imagining how those colors might be used in different ways throughout a home. The combination is unexpected: dark mustard walls, a blue-green ceiling, and an adjoining gray room with a coral pop on the French doors. Crisp white trim unifies the scheme and keeps the overall look bright and fresh. The specific colors used in the dining room are listed below:
- Door: Glidden Premium® Terra Cotta Rose, GLR31
- Trim: Glidden Premium® Muslin White, GLC24
- Wall: BEHR Premium Plus Ultra® Madagascar, UL1803
- Ceiling: Behr Ultra Premium® Zen UL220-14
All of these paint colors are available exclusively at The Home Depot®.
How would you switch up this room using the same color palette?
