oh I love to paint my walls...red, teal, gray, cantelope!! lol, are you a white wall or beige wall person?
What is your favorite wall color?
 
Our main wall color is currently a paper bag brown, with a chocolate accent wall. the kitchen is a terra cotta, and the bedrooms are sage green, grey-blue and grey
 
I'm a tan-ish, beige-y wall person (the exact color is Sandstone Cove by Behr). I keep the walls neutral because I'm constantly changing my mind about colors, and with the neutral background I can swap out accessories, pillows, artwork, etc. and totally change a room without having to go through the pain of painting the walls again.

I scrap kind of the same way, too- my backgrounds are almost always white or kraft!
 
I don't do white walls. :) Too many fingerprints and dog nose prints! Ha! Our room is all gray with some white trim, which I love. Our living room is Mega Greige and it is my favorite. Our kitchen is a pretty bluish grayish greenish. Kids' rooms are a darkish beige.

Ish Ish!
 
Our main living area is Manchester Tan and the bedrooms are shades of green, blue and bluegreen. I'm obessed with bluegreen at the moment. :)

Ish is my favorite color! :)
 
We have our bedroom and living room in chocolate brown so it's nice and dark in there :)
 
Living room is a buttery yellow, foyer is a creamy brown, bathroom is sage green. The kitchen never got repainted when we moved in, and happens to be grey and white. We painted the bedroom white, as we originally had an all black and white thing going on in there, but it's now the girls' room and they do color. I'm not painting again though. :giggle
 
I went a little nuts when we first moved in... living room bright yellow, entry way bright green,a beachy blue in the office and bedroom. I've since repainted the yellow room a soft blueish gray that I LOVE... the kitchen and little kids bedroom are a light gray that's really nice and neutral. We redid the basement a few years ago and did it all WHITE and I'm loving it! I'm really drawn to how clean and fresh it is.

I tend to like the beige/tan/lighterish colors. BUT... when we moved 2 years ago, I broke out of my norm by accident. And photos make it look worse than it is, lol! (When we moved - we painted a few areas, added cabinets/counter to the kitchen, and finished the floors.

We were going to go a grey-ish color for the main living area and dining room. Well, it turned out a bit blue-er than we thought, ok a LOT! DH called me, and said the walls were blue. I groaned, and he then said if we keep all the lights off, it will look grey during the day, lol! I got home, disliked it and was forced to give it a few days. I love it now!

Our kitchen is a nice, not too dark, olive-ish green... DH didn't like it. I knew I would. It was not my norm, but I knew it would work.It did, and I love that too!

We had the bedroom painted a pale tan called some sort of milkshake in our bedroom, (Ha, that sounds funny!) and then I found a super tan/teal/brown duvet cover for the bedroom from Ikea!

One bath I still have to paint... it's white, yuck!
The other is creme... with dark purple. It looks nice.




I need artwork for my house, lol! Any suggestions there!?? :) I even tried my own, and like it, but it didn't work, so if anyone needs, lol, I can send it! HA! It's bluish-purplish, and stormy.

my eating area is red, kitchen is a light taupe, Kenyon Point I believe it is called and I redid my cupboards in a Java (were medium oak), my living is a dark yellow-goldenish I gues but I want to change it--have dark wood floors, like a walnut almost and chocolate brown leather furniture so any suggestions??
Bathroom is called Tiger's Eye but it is best described as the inside of a Reese Peanut butter cup, my room is a nice soft taupe--I have white bed linens and orange throw cushions, spare bedroom is a medium taupe and my son's bedroom is bright green on one wall with the other three walls painted a gorgeous med-dark grey.
 
White! The bedrooms, mudroom and my DH's office are painted colors, but the main, public spaces in our house are all white - white walls, cabinets, and trim.

I love a white background (which is evidenced fairly quickly scrolling through my gallery! ;) haha!
 
most is ecru with some pale peach and some sand color walls

Our basement is a soft white (egg shell?) and I love how bright and cheerful it seems. Upstairs the previous owners painted an off-white that has pink undertones (which I hate), with a dark chocolate accent wall (which I love) but repainting here is just so expensive (because of our high ceilings, we'd either need scaffolding or would have to pay someone else to do it).
 
I love neutral colours on my walls and then I can change the feel of the house with a few minor cosmetic changes to things like pillows, rugs etc etc :D
 
I would definitely rather not have white walls... um but I do live in an apartment so I have... white walls... :(

If I were able to paint them it would be a rich gold color... like old gold or something similar...
 
Definitely not white. My living room is currently gold and I LOVE it. My kitchen is Tiffany Blue. My bedroom is a grey/blue color that is so soothing and lovely.
 
We have neutral colors on our walls, mainly like a coffee/tanish color in the main rooms, and then there's a sea blue in our fitness room and a sea green in our office. I think the only white wall we have is in the kids' tv room.
 
My big living room is a peachy off white color, and the boys bathroom is light beige/tan. My bedroom is a periwinkle light blue and my bathroom is a ocean blue and ocean green. My family room is the color of melted hershey's chocolate. My kitchen is boring off white and I really want to do something with that this winter. It needs to be repainted BADLY!
 
My walls are a mess. Deep red in the formal living room, buttery yellow in the adjoining dining room. Seafoam green in the entry way with much darker green on some accent walls. The hallway is light pinkish taupe that leads into the family room, same taupe as hall. The kitchen is latte cream white. The upstairs bedrooms are wallpaper/cream white, ballet slipper pink, medium gray, cement gray. I'm tired of most of it and want to repaint but am just not inspired or energized to do it.
