Mine is a pale lavender and is a southwest room. It is bright and cheery.:)

My sewing room is in my basement. Since I have no windows in the room , by choice, I wanted something bright so I choose a bright yellow. I really like it. The color makes the room really cheerful, even on the darkest winter day.

I'm wondering should it be totally white(not my first choice), or a soft beige, or yellow or what? I know it needs to be easy on the eyes and pleasant at the same time. The room has two windows in it and hardwood floors. I would really appreciate your opinions!

Mine is a cottage blue color, kind of beachy!!. Very relaxing, but still has some energy! My room is in the lower level of a split, so I don't have a lot of natural light. It seems to reflect what little I do have and make the room bright and cheery. Go with what you like so you want to spend time in there!

Mine is yellow because I wanted a cheerful color in my sewing room. Yellow appears softer on a color chip than when it’s on a wall. If you choose yellow go a few shades lighter than it looks on the chip or paint a board first and leave it in the room to see how you like it after living with it for a couple days.
