What colors to paint your home, and why

My favorite color is green.

The shade of green has changed over time, from sea foam to lime green to teal, but some form of green is always my top choice. 

I lean towards warm colors, am not a big fan of the grays that are currently popular in home decor, and I’m not at all afraid to paint a room something bold. I’ve had chocolate brown walls in my kitchen, and I’ve had a cherry-red office! Currently I’ve toned things down a bit, have more neutrals in my home, and have added my pops of color with accessories and fabrics.

If you ever wanted to add some color to your house, but weren’t sure where to start, this is a helpful infographic. And I think these suggestions hold for not just the color on the walls, but the items you choose to put in the rooms, including pillows and artwork.  So to increase your productivity, maybe a beach photo with various blues is just the thing for your office!
