I didn’t get practically as far on my closet mission this previous weekend as I had hoped. The climate turned wet and chilly, and I didn’t wish to stand out within the chilly whereas reducing molding. However I did get lots of priming achieved, and I additionally chosen six completely different blue paint colours to check out for the cupboards. Earlier than this mission even bought began, I had my coronary heart set on a pink closet, however the extra I checked out walk-in closet paint shade concepts, the extra excited I bought in regards to the thought of a light-weight blue (or mild blue-green) closet.
5 of those paint colours are new. I haven’t examined them out earlier than. The rationale I went with new colours is as a result of the earlier colours I examined simply didn’t look proper to me. I had beforehand examined out Behr Clear Vista and Behr Tahoe Blue (which you can see here), however after I checked out these once more in opposition to the wallpaper in pure mild, they didn’t appear to work in any respect. I had additionally beforehand examined out three Sherwin Williams colours — Annabelle, Matt on Monday, and Tender Shore (which you can see here). However I selected these after I was planning to make use of tile on the partitions across the washer and dryer space. And now that I’m not planning on utilizing that tile, these colours didn’t actually appear to work, both.
So again to the drafting board I went. I chosen 5 new colours and examined these out on the precise cupboard.
From high to backside, these are: (1) Behr Drip, (2) PPG Paints Sonata, (3) Behr Air Blue, (4) PPG Paints Midsummer’s Dream, (5) PPG Paints Blue Bows, and (6) Sherwin Williams Matt on Monday. I went forward and examined out the Matt on Monday once more, despite the fact that I used to be fairly positive it wouldn’t work, simply because I really like the identify and hoped that it’d presumably work.
Since I’m not making an attempt to make that blue tile work within the room, I made a decision to stay with colours that weren’t fairly so grey and leaned extra in the direction of a clearer blue-green.
Choosing out a blue paint shade will be tough as a result of the very last thing I would like is for my closet to learn “child boy’s room”. And a few of these blues within the wallpaper, if used on the entire cupboards, may very simply appear like a room supposed for a kid.
I even have to think about that I’m making an attempt to bridge the darkish blue wallpaper and home equipment within the closet with the darkish teal grasscloth wallpaper that will likely be predominant within the lobby simply exterior of the closet, in addition to our bed room. All of those areas will likely be clearly seen on the similar time, so whereas they don’t must match, they do must coordinate and play properly with one another. So I unrolled the grasscloth wallpaper and draped it on the opposite cupboard to see how all of those colours work collectively.
I took most of those photos final night time after it was darkish exterior, so there’s no pure mild coming in by the window. And since I nonetheless solely have the one mild on the ceiling fan on this room, I introduced in additional mild. The room may have extra mild when it’s completed. I’ll be including at the least 5 recessed lights within the room, in addition to swapping out the ceiling fan for a chandelier and including two sconces to the wallpapered part.
I took this picture this morning after the solar got here up, so it is a more true illustration of those colours with each pure mild coming by the window in addition to the extra mild contained in the room.
Sadly, I instantly dominated out Matt on Monday, the colour on the very backside. It’s approach too grey for the wallpaper. And I dominated out Blue Bows, the colour simply above it, as a result of it reads to purple. I additionally instantly dominated out the primary shade, Drip, as a result of I feel it’s simply an excessive amount of shade. I feel I additionally need to rule out the forth one, Midsummer’s Dream, as a result of it appears too inexperienced for the wallpaper. In order that leaves these two colours — PPG Paints Sonata on high and Behr Air Blue on backside.
Of these two, I actually like Air Blue, the lighter of the 2. It appears to go together with the wallpaper higher, and I do like that it’s lighter. I feel the lighter shade will let the wallpaper be the star moderately than making an attempt to compete with the wallpaper for consideration.
Primarily based on these advertising and marketing pictures, I undoubtedly just like the Behr Air Blue higher. The PPG Sonata is actually teetering on the sting of that child’s room blue, in my view. And the Air Blue appears to have extra inexperienced in it, which I discover preferable, particularly contemplating that this shade must coordinate with my teal grasscloth wallpaper.
In order that’s the route I’m leaning proper now. Behr Air Blue appears to be my choose. However I’m going to proceed priming the remainder of the cupboards right this moment, and I’ll regulate these colours to see what they appear like at completely different instances all through the day with the wallpaper. However as of this second, my cash’s on Behr Air Blue. Do you agree? Which one would you select?
