Interior Design Colors: Domino’s Best Of Issue

i was just looking at this in the grocery store yesterday. the first thing i thought of was colourlovers! nice to see it here.

the colours here are okay but a bit subdued for my taste, and i'm just not a big enough fan of aubergine to put it on my walls. i'm better with purples now, thanks to this site, but i still tend toward the warm colours for decorating. i go for bold colour on the walls and white/cream trim. it must be working. at our last cookout/potluck about 4 different neighbors asked me to come to their house and suggest a colour for a room. "i want to add colour to my dining room but i'm just afraid. can you come and tell me what colour to use?" afraid of colour?! what a concept!!!



although... i did suggest this for a friend who is planning to paint her house (exterior) this summer. her roof is oddly cream colour! i did include a purple here, but it was her suggestion.


i do like domino.


and this one was made as a response to the suggestion of a cream/aubergine/gray theme i read somewhere else, maybe an earlier domino magazine. it was low-voted.


this was my latest painting job, but remember, its my husband's studio out in the barn. the reds represent the doors. i would not be this bold in the house, but he loves it.


that's enough from me. :)

one more. exterior of my house. i know this is about interior design, but i have a problem with all the exteriors around here being beige.

Here is a palette I did awhile back based on paint colors:

I got the colors from a paint website that I found thru a google ad on colourlovers!

I like this palette for a bedroom or office, the blue is calming & the plum gives a nice pop of color.

Nice for a family room; I'd use the red as an accent wall, with the tan or sage as the main color, with a cream ceiling & dark wood furniture.
