Ask first, then paint

  • Cottage Porch

    Bold color resonated with a buyer looking for a classic cozy cottage. The earth tone palette flowed from exterior to interior: warm neutrals and soft blue-grays enlivened by green and orange accents.

  • Earthy Bedroom

    Earthy Bedroom

    Cozy is the operative word to describe this western-facing room that opens to a deck. Terra cotta walls are brightened by warm white trim—consistent throughout the home. Bolder colors can cause strong reactions, so color flow from room to room and the level of natural light is considered carefully.

  • Bathroom Charm

    This small bathroom is full of natural light from a skylight, offering an opportunity to use the freshest colors in the home palette: cloud white, warm blues, and neutrals.

  • Kitchen Kinks

    When contemplating color for this pass-through kitchen, painting out the wood cabinets was considered. Instead, the warmth of the wood combined with super-white walls and utilitarian tile kept the kitchen simple allowing for more color in the main seating area just a few steps away.

  • Office Crisp

    Office Crisp

    With amber fir windows and closet doors, the super-white walls are ultra fresh next to bright accessories. The shiny warm-neutral floor and plentiful natural light sets a positive mood for work.

    Paired down to the essentials, a chalky white, gray, and black palette on a hardwood floor is as simple as it gets. A feeling of limitless possibility is the result. Scandinavian design is a crowd pleaser in the Pacific Northwest because light is maximized.
