Hi! Design professional and color consultant here and I've following your color adventures. I don't know how far you want to get 'in the weeds' but I would like to toss in some ideas that could help with some of your questions or be helpful in general. - F&B is a full spectrum paint making it very reactive to different lighting conditions. Because of this it is important to swatch it on all surfaces are considering painting, each wall and especially the ceiling. - I would highly recommend painting it all one color, including the ceiling. None of the trim work has enough architectural significance to highlight. But, if you want to do something more interesting and architectural, you could paint the window bay a tint of the color you choose. Your paint store can create the tint by adding 25% white(or more if needed) to your color. They can do a sample so you can also swatch it. - Changing the color of dining room curtains is a great idea for a couple of reasons, first it will address your concern of connect the ceiling the rest of the room, but creating the vertical contrast will also increase the visual height of the ceiling. When choosing the color the value is the most important consideration. Do not try to match the ceiling. A mid range green with a more yellow base will always work, but if you want a little more drama, go for a more complementary color like a burnt orange. If you have any questions just let me know.
@@benjiplant You are so welcome. Working with color is such a beautiful and complex combination of physics and emotion. I love helping people learn how to work with it. Just a note: I have worked with Parma Gray many times. It is a beautiful, sophisticated and complex color with a long history (I think it goes back to the 1830"s), but it is very reactive. I highly recommend more swatching before final decision. Pull your existing swatch all the way next to the brick chimney stack to see how it reacts to the brick and grout colors. In addition, do a large swatch in a corner that includes the intersection of the two wall planes and ceiling. I know this seems like more work, but the inherent beauty of F&B paints is their reactivity and how that they can create their own architecture with placement and light.
@@benjiplant Hi Benji, I have a question, have you visited the F&B website? It is a great tool/resource. Each color has a photo gallery of 50-60 photos that show how reactive each color is to differing conditions, lighting, context and architecture.
Hi Benji! maybe you can paint in blue only the wall behind the bed and see how it looks... and eventually in a second time you can proceed with other parts of the room!
You should have Paige's friend Kate do a paint consultation with you. Both for color as well as what to do with the trim inconsistencies. Film it for us!
I kinda think painting the wall behind the bed blue and leaving the rest of the room white could be cool and make things easier because of the inconsistency with the trim 🤔
That's what I thought the original plan was! But now I realize it was to paint the whole room in one color, I think one wall in color is a fun idea though
Benji, trust your gut, you are a extremely talented man with many different artistic talents, I would say look at the colour at different times of the night and day and in the evening with your lamps on as this will make the colour of the paint look different too, have fun painting ❤
I really wouldn't discount the light blue. The reason it looks so grey is because it is next to such a bright, borderline periwinkle blue. When you paint an entire space, you will always be shocked by how much a color that you thought leaned more neutral, is actually way more colorful than a small swatch would lead you to believe. I've made the mistake many times!
this comment is making me rethink the light blue! I just swatched more of the light blue in a larger area and It feels easier to live with long term than the other colors. Ahh I'm so indecisive when it comes to paint 😅
@@benjiplant the light blue also has some green undertones so its warmer than the other blue, but won't pose the risk of being overwhelmingly warm or earthy like the yellows. And the undertone will pair nicely with the brick because red and green are complementary colors. That said I really liked both your vision boards. You're amazing at interiors and that's why I take all my design cues from you 😊 You can't go wrong, and in the end it's just paint and you can always redo it.
1. Dining room looks amazing! 2. Because of all the weird trim and not-trim mixes I would color-drench the bedroom and then keep the niche in white (inc beams) and then make that space extra special. A jungle niche with lots of plants or a mattress on top of there as a daybed/petbed for reading and hanging out. Or build a custom shelf on that niche for art / books / plants that you can look at from your bed. So many options!
The green ceiling looks so good and I love that you painted the door, too. I love that color. You should think about color drenching the dining room. It would be a little jewel box. For the bedroom any trim you leave white will stand out so I would paint the walls, door and all of the trim blue. You could leave the ceiling white if you think it would be too much blue for you. If the window area has trim around it where you can clearly stop the paint you could leave it white so it ties into the white ceiling.
i absolutely love the green ceiling in the dining room i’m so glad you stuck it through!! im not a fan of green curtains in the dining room, i think what you have now with the wooden covers on the windows are perfectly fine and already look beautiful! also loving both of the blues for the bedroom! i think im also leaning towards the bright blue rather than the gray-ish blue! painting only the wall behind your bed and the wall on the opposite side of the bed around the windows (not the trim or adjacent walls) with the chosen blue would be nice!! great color choices 😊
LOVE painted ceilings... I have super tall ceilings and in my master bedroom I did the ceiling paint color about 10 inches down the wall also and added a moulding that seperates the color and the white walls.
I love the green on the ceiling! Nice job. In the bedroom, because of the inconsistent trim, I think I would keep the walls white, maybe even slightly creamy and then paint the ceiling the blue you liked.
love the new green in the dining room!! for the curtains, i think another green would darken the space but i like the bamboo shades tying in the natural elements of the room. One idea for adding something else green to make the space more cohesive is a clean potted plant in the middle of the table, almost like a bouquet, that matches the warm dark green of the ceiling. Something else i think you would like is called ikebana, it's a minimalist japanese technique of arranging flowers that would go lovely with the space. 😊 check it out!
The ceiling looks amazing... you did a beautiful job, Benji! Also, changing out the green panels for clear....you could definitely see the difference. A suggestion about the upstairs room... how about adding trim to the areas that really stick out and leaving the trim white. Or if all else fails... just paint it all blue... If it just doesn't look right, then find a beautiful, soft, warm white... And whitewash the room... Even if it is white... A soft and warmer white will still be beautiful because that room gets so much wonderful light... good luck!
that green is GORGEOUS and loving the texture that the rolling shades give the space. might i suggest a light neutral toned mustard curtains to compliment the green instead of matching it? - anyway love the way your mind works!
I am so happy you guys decided on the green for the ceiling, I LOVE IT!! Looks so good. I think for the bedroom, I would paint the walls and the trim, then see how you like leaving the other section with the plants in it white!! Can't wait to see what you decide.
Your parents are so talented and generous to you. You're so lucky to be part of a family that sees community this way. I;m late to the party but I would think a ceiling color with more yellow would look more like filtered light through a canopy.OOOH! looking good!!!
The green ceiling looks incredible! It really ties into the warmth of the room so well. I definitely think green curtains would be a lovely way to pull everything together, but I wouldn't go for curtains super close in shade to the ceiling. Maybe try a green with a similar tone but a bit lighter? Also, I actually really liked the light blue paint. I think it only looked super grey because it was right below the parma blue. But if you're only considering the yellows or parma blue, I still think parma blue is the way to go. I really think just doing an accent wall behind your bed in the parma blue would be a good start especially because of how beautifully it contrasts with the wood and the brick. If you really do want to paint everything though, I think the hay yellow might be better? I feel like the parma blue would be overwhelming as a color drench. The yellow blends in a bit too much with your furniture imo, but it would work well as an overall color for the room whereas parma blue seems like it could be a bit overwhelming outside of just an accent wall
The green for the ceiling and the door is so elegant!!!!!!! When you were talking about how to tie it in with the rest of the room I immediately was imaging wooden molding between the green and white but the bamboo shades do such a good job at doing that too!! -Also for the window seat of the bedroom, I think you should emphasis it as a unique quirk of the house and leave it white!!!
I painted all of the trim and doors in our small, primary bedroom a deeper green with slight yellow undertones. I added a bit of that color to white paint and painted the walls. I added a bit more to the ceiling color. It turned out beautiful! It’s unique without being awkward and very calming. You’ll make the right choice for you. ❤
Omgggg the green and the new additions looks amazing!!! I’m so glad you decided on the ceiling. Although it feels lower at first, you’ll adjust to it; AND the white walls plus light coming in makes the room feel larger! ❤ I feel like if you’d have done the walls, it would feel a little closed in.
I like the blue for the bedroom. I have the same problem with trim in my dining room. I may go to Home Depot and but the same style of trim and leave it white. It's wonderful that you're family comes to help you with projects. ❤
the dining room ceiling looks great! for the bedroom - i like the top left blue and think you could paint only the wall behind your bed and the walls/ceiling of your built in nook area. it would tie the blue together in multiple ways and not highlight the trim issue! also i think it would be very unique/visually interesting and showcase the architecture and character. can’t wait to see what you do ❤️
this is soooo sweet. i love how you genuinely consider your viewers' opinions, but never neglect how both you and chris feel. ❤ always grateful that you invite us into your home, fr 🤧
Not me fully expecting you to say "we just keep this curtain there to block the monsters from coming in" lol. Just a very like closet door closed as a kid moment for me I guess. Love the green! Dining room looks really nice. For the bedroom, you could always start by not painting any trim, see if you like it, if you do not, then just paint it! Can't wait to see 🌸
I’m so proud of your choice . You were brave. Painted ceilings are under estimated. For another ceiling look in a formal room; try a semi gloss on ceiling for a luxurious mirror effect. A nice loose weave reed shades over your privacy rollers would be very organic. 👏🏼❤️
Love the green and I always paint my ceiling the same color as my walls, which I love. I think the green would look great on your walls too, and really make the art and furniture pop
Lololol, dark primers are always scary. I worked in a paint store for 13 years and would always see the apprehension. But you need that color base to help the darker colors be pigmented. (Or at least not need 15 coats to get a true color). Looks great, and good job for seeing it through! (WORD OF ADVICE TO EVERYONE: Unless you are painting a white, get a tonal match of gray primer to the color you want to paint.
i love the green, and my advice for the bedroom is to pick a trim that you like, and trim the room how you think it will look best/most consistent. especially if your landlord reimburses you for improvements. the tenant before me randomly removed sections of trim in my house but that gave me the opportunity to make everything match. and trim is easy to hang as long as your measurements are correct, and if you dont have a saw most hardware type places will cut it for you.
I really like the golden yellow for the bedroom. As you said, it is an unexpected choice, and I think it will make you feel like the sun is shining every day when you wake up. :) That's coming from someone (me) who usually isn't a fan of yellow, so it must mean something!
Hiii Benji. It's so exciting seeing your place change color! In your bedroom, you might want to add matching ceiling trim (just the simple quarter round) to the wall behind your bed and the other wall where it's missing, even if you decide to color drench the room. In my experience, painting the trim/wall a non-neutral color emphasizes it even when it's the same color as the walls, so I'd try to even it out wherever possible before you paint. And the ceiling trim is a quick win!
Liking the blue for a bedroom. If you're in any way conflicted with the color just paint one wall. Live with that for a few days or so. See how it is thru different times of day, different lights. Hoping it goes well with the brick. Really like how if there's something going on that you have the family come over to pull together. Remembering how everyone came over to help clean the apartment when your room-mates moved out. And when mom comes over there's food.
Painting the ceiling. Cut in the corners and edges with the brush. Put a broom handle on the roller (you don't need a dedicated roller extender that costs $$) so you can stand on the floor while you paint. Long sweeping back-n-forth (up n down) with the roller gives a nice even coverage. Works on painting the walls too.
Definitely paint the “dowel trim” blue to blend to the wall and maybe the thicker one (the chimney one) leave white. That brick wall is unique in itself and the white trim there may allow you to showcase the wall if you wanted! I’ve seen those thin dowel pieces painted to blend many, many times and it works well. I love the idea of leaving the walls beyond the support beams white!
I think you have to douse the bedroom in the same color because of the inconsistencies in trim. I understand the desire to create some different areas by leaving it whit by the window but in the end I think if you go full color it will look more cohesive.
Hi Benji and family! I might would consider trying to match the trim throughout the room and entryways, that way you could see an opportunity for how you would want the trim and the walls to look like. Absolutely love the choice for your home, and can’t wait for the reveal!! Love, Ginger
Benji, Paint the dowelling next to the ceiling the same color as the wall so it disappears. The wall will seem to be the same height all around the room. I too thought the ceiling would look lower with the dark paint but you're right, it worked! A single edge razor box cutter held at a 45 degree angle on the glass will clean up those sash edges on the exit door. Nice job!
With your bedroom, I would either painting EVERYTHING blue. The trim, the molding and such. Leave the nook area white so it can be its own area. But if you’re unsure on commiting the whole bedroom blue, I would paint the walls first and then see how you feel. Love the green ceiling and door too!
The green ceiling in the dining room really makes the room look classy! I love the blue at the top for the br. I would paint it all blue I think. Maybe stop and see how it looks leaving the window area white. 🤔

parma blue is def my favorite. the two yellows have such minimal contrast with the tone of wood on your bed frame, so I don't like those.
Benji, trust your gut, you are a extremely talented man with many different artistic talents, I would say look at the colour at different times of the night and day and in the evening with your lamps on as this will make the colour of the paint look different too, have fun painting ❤
This should have more likes. He's so unsure at times, and even though that is normal, he has to know he knows best.

I absolutely love the color "Hay"! Your home is so beautiful, it makes me excited about having my own one day.
The green ceiling looks DELICIOUS ! so complementary to all of your beautiful wooden furniture pieces too
I wasn’t onboard with the ceiling but once you put your furniture back it looked great!
Your willingness to experiment is really impressive 🤙
Am so glad you went with Farrow and Ball there colours are amazing.😮

They will blend in if painted the same color. As long as they are white against a color, it will create contrast. Update looks great!

Love the color in your dining room 💚🫶
the dining room looks GORGEOUS
I like yellow! less contrast so everything melds together. will look great in the sun!
I loved both yellows for the bedroom
Painting the ceiling. Cut in the corners and edges with the brush. Put a broom handle on the roller (you don't need a dedicated roller extender that costs $$) so you can stand on the floor while you paint. Long sweeping back-n-forth (up n down) with the roller gives a nice even coverage. Works on painting the walls too.
The green ceiling is amazing!!
Blue for sure!
Definitely paint the “dowel trim” blue to blend to the wall and maybe the thicker one (the chimney one) leave white. That brick wall is unique in itself and the white trim there may allow you to showcase the wall if you wanted! I’ve seen those thin dowel pieces painted to blend many, many times and it works well. I love the idea of leaving the walls beyond the support beams white!
I think you have to douse the bedroom in the same color because of the inconsistencies in trim. I understand the desire to create some different areas by leaving it whit by the window but in the end I think if you go full color it will look more cohesive.
17:46 drench everything except leave the window sills and the plant alcove white 👀
I’m definitely team blue. Especially with the brick.
That is the perfect green perfect good choice
Hi Benji and family! I might would consider trying to match the trim throughout the room and entryways, that way you could see an opportunity for how you would want the trim and the walls to look like.
Absolutely love the choice for your home, and can’t wait for the reveal!!
Love, Ginger
Yes to the dreamy blue you and Chris also liked Benji!
the ceiling looks amazing!
Definitely paint the trim in the bedroom!
Benji, Paint the dowelling next to the ceiling the same color as the wall so it disappears. The wall will seem to be the same height all around the room. I too thought the ceiling would look lower with the dark paint but you're right, it worked! A single edge razor box cutter held at a 45 degree angle on the glass will clean up those sash edges on the exit door. Nice job!
LIGHT BLUEEEEEE !
Have fun with your projects!!! 🖌
With your bedroom, I would either painting EVERYTHING blue. The trim, the molding and such. Leave the nook area white so it can be its own area. But if you’re unsure on commiting the whole bedroom blue, I would paint the walls first and then see how you feel. Love the green ceiling and door too!
The green ceiling in the dining room really makes the room look classy! I love the blue at the top for the br. I would paint it all blue I think. Maybe stop and see how it looks leaving the window area white. 🤔
Love the color blue in my room so relaxing. My favorite color too. You should go for it. But the green ceiling is beautiful. ❤
Love the green ceiling
The Dining room is AMAZING
Blue, definitely!
