Hey all, as you know we have moved, which means lots of decisions are being made! I don’t know about you, but sometimes picking a paint color is HARD! Every time I select a paint color, I probably sample AT LEAST 10 colors, until I settle on one. I also tend to paint a swatch on the wall and leave it there for a few days before I fully commit to the color. Seriously, selecting a paint color can be a process! Today I am sharing my whole home color scheme.
HOWEVER, it doesn’t have to be for you! Today I am sharing my home color scheme, as well as some of my favorite tools that helped me complete the job in a fraction of the time!
I am so excited to partner up with HomeRight on this project, it is through great companies like HomeRight and affiliate links that I can continue to provide all these tutorials at zero additional cost to my readers! So a big thank you to them! (More info. available here.)
Whole Home Color Scheme
Sometimes I am not entirely sure what my plans are for a room, and that is OKAY! Ultimately, I know I will want it to blend with the rest of my home. So, if I select several colors that blend well together, I know that no matter what color I put in that space it will be a safe bet.
When we moved into our home almost the entire house was painted the color of a dingy old ban-aid. It wasn’t awful, but it definitely was NOT good. It had to go.
I knew it would be much easier to get everything painted BEFORE we got all of our boxes unpacked. Therefore painting was a top priority and time was of the essence. ( I can only function so long without order, before I go a little crazy.) So between myself, my Mom and our handy HomeRight EZ-Twist Paint Stick, we knocked out nearly the entire house in one week!
The first color I used was “Incredible White” by Sherwin Williams. It is a very light neutral greige. (Beige/Gray) 
When I pick my colors I always make sure I put them side by side with a PURE white. (Tip: Not all whites are actual white! Make sure you try the paint swatch next to a pure white, OR the color of your trim if you don’t want to paint your trim white.) I love a nice crisp white in contrast to a subtle color. It always looks to fresh and clean!
“Incredible White” by Sherwin Williams, next to “Ultra Pure White” by Behr trim was the perfect combo.

I love how much it brightened this room and it made this room look so much bigger! I was a little concerned trying to cover the dark dingy “band-aid color”, with this light color, but a good paint coupled with the constant flow of the paint stick was a perfect pair.
While I loved the light neutral greige in the office and in our hallways, I still wanted to use a cooler gray in other parts of the house. After trying a handful of different shades I decided on “Passive” By Sherwin Williams. It was subtle, yet still clearly a gray/blue.

The third color I chose (which I deem as the perfect neutral) is… “Agreeable Gray” by Sherwin Williams. It’s right there in the title. It is a great neutral gray/beige. It isn’t too light, and it isn’t too dark. It creates a nice warm atmosphere with out being a “warm” color. I love it so much that I used it in all the bedrooms!

There you have it folks; a light, neutral color scheme that blends nicely through out an entire home! It is a great cohesive set that takes the think work out of the process!

I love Agreeable Gray. I used in the main rooms of our house and recommend it constantly to others. It doesn’t turn lavender or green like so many other greiges out there. In the evening when the sun comes streaming in the home it is the definition of perfection! Love your colors!
Amen to all of the above Sarah! I have loved Agreeable Gray in all lighting and is now my go-to color! *high five*
Love these colors! I have been weighing the possibility of painting my living room Agreeable Gray, because it’s current color has too much of an olive undertone that I don’t care for. After seeing it on your walls I think I’m finally going to pull the trigger! And I just might get one of those nifty paint sticks, too! 😀
I always use a paintstick. Couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Did you paint your ceilings as well? If so what color/colors?
When I paint my ceilings ( I always use a paintstick on the ceiling too!), I always like to use Ultra Pure White ceiling paint by behr!
