What Color should I paint
 
Hi, My husband is going to redo my sewing room and I would like to get suggestions on what color I should paint or what color your sewing rooms are. And why that color works.

What color would you like the walls to be? Mine are butter yellow, but it's a basement, so I wanted light......

Mine is pale yellow. I wanted it neutral, but cheerful. It reflects the sun very well. Love it.

Mine are primer coat white. I was going to choose a colour but the primer was dry and I wanted to move my stuff in.

My basement/sewing/craft area is L-shaped so I painted 2 walls blue, 2 purple, and 2 green (adjoining walls are painted the same color if you can picture that). I love being in the space because the colors are calming and make me feel happy. Paint what will make you happy, even if it's not conventional. :)

Definitely agree!
This IS your happy place ... and you don't want anything affecting your mood when you go there.

I'm thinking of a yellow color because I think it will brighten the room even though it has a really nice size window in. Besides I don't think I could get away with painting our bedroom that color.

My sewing room is a very pale blue (almost white) with a pale yellow accent on hard wood sliding closet doors. It's really a personal decision.

Depends on what you like! My walls are a bright gloss white, my ceiling is a soft green and my molding is the same green. I don't have any natural light (basement) so I wanted it bright.

Mine is a light gray. I wanted to make it more cheerful so I added a light sunny yellow stripe around the room , around the window , and around the door. I love it.
