10 Calming Colors to Paint Your Walls, According to Interior Designers

Portland, OR

There are fun design decisions (tile color! stone selection! lighting!) and stressful design decisions (tile grout, trim paint, window design), and choosing the right paint color for your exterior falls into “stressful” for me. It’s usually extremely expensive ($10K-$30K+) and you don’t want to have to redo it for decades. It can drastically change your experience driving up to your house and certainly will affect curb appeal and resale (I know we shouldn’t think about resale value all the time but y’all, very few people will buy a lime green house). And yet, doing something too safe can be such a missed opportunity. Portland is FULL of colorful vintage houses which adds so much quirk and charm to a neighborhood. But when do you take a color risk? And when do you go safe? I thought I’d show you the exterior of our houses first so you can get a sense of where my mind is at, and while I’m NOT an expert, I do have experience, thoughts, and feelings.
