Painting my sewing room
 

Planning on taking everything out and painting. But I have no dreams or ideas on the color. We have maple floors and oak trim, so mostly a honey oak color on the wood. Trouble is I would love to go bold, which I am thinking I will. It is eggshell right now, so this is boring.
My DS is giving me a china cabinet so I can put all my thread in. Hoping just to down size somehow.

I'm really going to clean up the room, I have so much fabric. I sent off around 8 plus quilts to be laser cut, so I'm going to package more up soon.

Definitely go with a color that makes you happy to live in. My sewing room is yellow but it's not a pale, wimpy yellow. It's a fairly bright, happy yellow.

My sewing room is a bold medium toned purple with pale blue curtains. I have several windows so it's bright and cheery. The main thought is to use what you like, it is the only room in the house that you don't have to take other people's tastes into account. Might help to go look in your clothes closet and see what colors you gravitate towards.

Go with a color you'd love to try and remember it's only paint!

Mine is a minty green on the bottom and a brighter cheery yellow on top. I think it helps with the limited sun the room gets. Only one window and the room sits below grade so the window is pretty close to the ground.

I agree with Emma S., check out your closet and use colors you wear - they obviously make you happy, so why shouldn't you use them in your sewing room? My room is a medium purple with a few water colors (blue, green, etc.) thrown in for interest) - every time I go in there I am instantly cheered up. And if you can't find the exact shade you want in the paint store, take in some fabric or a piece of clothing in that color, they should be able to match it. Enjoy the process, and let your inner crayon-toting child have free rein!

When I was trying to decide on paint colors I painted about a 1' x 3' section of four different colors. I looked at them during different times of the day and finally picked the one I kept going back to. I was shocked at how different they could look actually on the walls at different times of the day.

My sewing room is a bright turquoise blue. It makes me happy every time I walk into it!

Why not paint one wall the most exciting color you like and the others more subdued. That way you can always get inspiration from one wall ....
and if it happens that you want to change, you have only one wall to repaint.
I've done that in my kitchen. It has been absolutely fun, surprises visitors even though I've changed it several times.
