Choosing the colors for the interior walls of your home can be a challenge. Sticking with more a more neutral pallet will allow you to add color through your decor, rugs and furniture. Here are my top 7 favorite color choices by Benjamin Moore that work well in any space.

We bought house #3 in 2012 and spent six years renovating every inch of it. While we did a lot of dramatic work (aka built a brand new kitchen) but some of the most noticeable differences could be seen simply by changing the paint colors. It is amazing what a can of paint can do to a room – this is the perfect way to transform a room for the DIYer on a budget!!

While every paint color can change its appearance simply from the lighting and decor around it, I have shown below how every room in our house looked – often times, with the same paint color but it looks totally different in each room. All of the colors I used were from Benjamin Moore, my favorite line of paint.

I tend to lean more towards neutral colors for my walls that way I can interchange my decorations with more bold or fun colors, especially for the holidays. However, I do like to add in color in our bathrooms as you aren’t adding as much decor in there!
