Living room and Master Bedroom color selection help?
Please help me with wall color selection for our living and master bedrooms. Our house is backed with several trees and we have nice visibility from our living as well as bedrooms. It looks scenic when we watch out from our windows with all those tress, we want to go with a color that is neutral and still keeps the look. Sorry It's family room and master bedroom that has backyard with all the trees..not the living room. As such I'm looking for colors for family, living, dining and master bedroom. Master bedroom I want a color selection that still keeps the view scenic with the trees in the back.

- I love the soft muted colors of the Ralph Lauren Suede paints. I have used several of these for my living room, dining room and bedroom. I paint my living room a soft sand color and the dining room a stronger sage color.

- I would need to visualize which color palette there is in the room. Such as, have you already picked window treatments, and a rug and your furniture and your floor, is it hardwood or wall to wall carpeting? Do you have a lot of neutrals in the room already because that may be too many neutrals in one room and will look wishy-washy? Do you have a brilliant color scheme of bright blues and yellows, or a nice contemporary brown and burnt red? These things all attribute to the outcome of a room's design. If you have no ideas thus far, I would suggest creams and pale greens, in hopes that there aren't too many neutrals and hopefully some browns to play off of. Good Luck
- I live in the woods and have a beautiful view out the master bed room looking at the side of some beautiful trees . I looked at colors that went with the landscape and decided on lime pie, which is a antique white with a hint of lime. Very light. . I used avocado green on my trim, which was semi-gloss paint and the color was the color of an avocado. Very organic. Another combination I used in the living room was light tea . This color was chosen for the tea service I bought in Mexico. Beautiful color. It looks great when you look at the outside. Almost like being in the trees.The trim color is light almost a tanned leather color. I saw an old leather coat hanging on the coat hangers on the wall. I took the paint chart and matched it to both and had the paint made for me. These colors lend them self to natural colors, light oak furniture and natural wood floors. The combination came to me when I was sitting in my swing outside and I saw the sun shinning through my Morning glory bush. I went to Mo ores paints and had the colors mixed for me. I would look at the organic colors in the earth tone paint chip book. The colors brings the outdoors into your house. Very cheerful and relaxing.
- play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours: http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/ I think it would look terrific to paint bedroom "white willow" (# 6728) and your family room "adaptive shade" (# 7053). You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website: http://www.roomvues.com/ You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
