Design Happens

My favorite part of fixing up a home…is picking out paint colors. I love the challenge of finding the perfect hue for creating the mood I want for each space, as well as making sure that when I’m sitting in, say, my living room, I will enjoy the view of that paint color along with the color of the adjacent kitchen as seen through a doorway. So, wouldn’t you know, just when my spouse and I are 95% done renovating our 1922 bungalow, along comes HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams. (Honey, we’re repainting every room!) We have to. The eight fabulous color collections are filled with drool-worthy hues designed for room-to-room harmony. (So helpful!) That means no more clashing room colors — a major painting faux pas!  To top it off, it’s Zero VOC paint that’s available in Flat, Satin and Semi-Gloss. Oh wait, there’s also a complete selection of HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams painting supplies, all the tools needed to get the job done with ease. Visit hgtvhome.com to see it all.

But first, check out my favorite inspirational rooms from each collection. At the end of this post, I’ll share with you which paint color is my favorite. And I hope you will share yours, too.

LIVABLE LUXE: If you’re style is traditional and you prefer a subtle yet luxurious color palette, Livable Luxe is for you.

URBAN ORGANIC: While for some, suburban life is idyllic, more and more people of all ages are moving back “intown.” Embrace your new urban setting with this eclectic collection of colors that resonates with both the fast pace of city life, as well as unexpected throwbacks to simpler times, like a weekend farmer’s market just around the corner.

TRADITIONAL TWIST: Enjoy the classic appeal of traditional shades, like blues and reds and more neutral tones of grays and khaki, with a sophisticated 21st-century twist that is anything but stuffy.

RUSTIC REFINED: For those who yearn to travel to Tuscany or escape to the Arizona desert, the Rustic Refined collection echos those settings with an earthy, sun-baked palette that is at the same time quite elegant.

GLOBAL SPICE: From Ikat pillows to African baskets as wall art, the global look is on trend. Add modern cabinetry with mid-century mod furniture, and you’ve got global eclectic. The perfect unifier for these design trends is the Global Spice paint palette.
