Title: Redecorating my apartment
Post by: Mizzkizz7 on January 29, 2020, 03:34:10 pm
I'm really excited for the upcoming spring, and I'm thinking about painting my bedroom, bathroom, and my living room. I was thinking about painting my living room light gray and my bedroom, not sure yet. Any idea? :-\

Oh, lucky you! i would love to be able to paint my walls any color I wanted to, kind of start from scratch! My husband and kids are pretty conservative, though, when it comes to room colors, so I just don't bother to paint! I would also like to experiment with some wallpaper, too!  :peace: :heart:

Gray is my new favorite color.  My dining room/kitchen walls are a light gray.  My family room walls are off white with gray accents.

I think sticking with neutrals is great.  Gray can be accented with SO many colors; bright or soft.  I think its a great idea!

Since our budget has been minimal to nothing, I like to find as many bargains as possible.  I love to go to Lowe's and check out the sales rack for paint (usually $5 a gallon).  Since you don't have a color chosen, maybe you can find something that will work for you

What color is your bedroom now? You can always go with a shade of your favorite color.

Can you do that to your apartment? My landlord just informed me that the boiler broke, he isn't fixing it and I have to pay my own heat now after he raised my rent TWICE last year >:( >:( If he thinks he is going ot freeze me out he is sadly mistaken.  I have been here over 28 years and he is only new for a year, Not going to happen :highfive: 8)

Yes, different shades of gray are good....they can be accented with just about any color.

I have lived in my house approximately 3 years and the walls are stark white.  I am getting ready to have them painted kind of a pale coffee color.  I would do a pale gray if it went with my decor better. THEN it is new carpet.  I hope you enjoy your redecoration and the result. :star:

I like neutrals in bedrooms and then dress up with  bed covering, pillows etc.. that way when I want to switch out my bed coverings; it is easier to match with  neutral color, but it's your bedroom so whatever grabs you then go for it. Happy Painting!!!

How about a light rose or raspberry color or a very light blue/gray or green/gray? And of course there's always the old standby of off-white that goes with all furniture.

I think gray is a good choice because it make your room feel more spacious.  The Home Depot, Lowe's and Sherwin-Williams paint store are awesome places to go to get some color ideas.  Have fun decorating.  :)

I painted my whole house last year.  My color is a barely gray on the walls and white baseboards.  Haven't painted my basement as of this time.  I am looking for a color that will satisfy me for more than a month.
