August Journal: Paint Colors, Every Time

Welcome to our August Journal! This month, we’re sharing 8 tried-and-true paint colors that we find ourselves coming back to time and time again. These are the shades that have stood the test of time and ones we confidently reach for when we want a space to feel timeless, layered, and effortlessly pulled together.

From walls and trim to cabinetry and built-ins, these colors are incredibly versatile and can work beautifully throughout the home.

Not only is selecting a paint color one of the toughest and most important decisions, but one of the questions we get asked most often is “What finish goes where”? To answer that question, we’ve created a guide we typically go by, but remember there are no set rules! Bookmark this entry to revisit when you are starting a paint project!
