a bright orange bedroom…
Orange can be one of the most fun colours to paint a bedroom. Paired with white it is modern and edgy. For a similar look to these bedrooms, try 2011-10 Orange.
If a bright orange isn’t for you, try a muted orange tone (see above bedroom) try CC-98 Prairie Lily.
Looking for more of a citrus shade of orange, we love Benjamin Moore’s 2016-20 Citrus Orange.
Try bringing in orange in an all white room, a perfect focal wall. Try 2167-30 Harvest Moon.
Orange is a fun accent to throw in with soft pinks + lavenders. Perfect for a little girls bedroom, focal wall, behind bookshelves, etc…
Try 2010-20 Warm Comfort.

a tudor transformation with BM exterior paint
Create a monochromatic base for stucco by matching the tone of the angel stone (we suggested CC-490 Stone Hearth). Find the right colour for the strapping on the tudor, it may be as easy as matching the grout colour (we suggested AF-155 Weimeraner).
For this home Meg from Spaces Design was inspired by the charcoal window griding, so the window trim will match that with a deep colour (CC-542 Willow). She also suggested this deep colour for the garage doors too, so it will balance nicely with all the taupes. Willow is a great colour, because it’s a mix of charcoal and chocolate, since the roof of this home is chocolate…it works well.
Q&A- A unisex nursery
Question: Any trendy paint colours for a nursery, needs to work for boy or girl.
Nursery furniture + colour inspiration
This bedroom is a perfect example of how paint colours for nurseries are really branching out. This charcoal colour with red accessories is perfect if you don’t know the babies sex.
Other options would be charcoal walls with pink or purple accessories for a girl. For boys, charcoal walls with light blue or green for a boy.
* This modern nursery furniture is by German company, Paidi, they offer such a large varitey.
an exterior job done with BM paint from our store…
One of our in-store designers Meg from Spaces Design recently shared with us the before/after pics of a home she chose paint colours for a few years ago. The paint colours on this home were dated and boring. The homeowners wanted to go for a classic look and bring in some colour tones from nature, as their home backs on to a ravine.
Meg chose a Benjamin Moore tone in a muted green taupe for the stucco CC-540 Stampede, the trim and garage are a shade or two lighter CC-530 Brandon Beige. She had to work with the existing soffits & fascia which were in a yellow tone, so the green/brown worked great. For an elegance look, the front doors and shutters were painted in the darkest chocolate you will find in the Benjamin Moore colour preview collection (2114-10 Bitttersweet Chocolate). It gives the look of a rich and dark stained wood.
Don’t forget, one of the most important components of this project was the amazing paint crew that brought it to fruition.
Many thanks to McConnell Painting from Oakville,ON.
