- INTERIOR DESIGNER PICKS BEST NEUTRAL PAINT COLORS FOR YOUR HOME
Having worked in the interior design industry for over 16 years, you can bet I play favorites when it comes to neutral paint colors. As much as I love a bold and colorful paint statement, it’s always nice to start with a neutral foundation and layer on colors from there. Check out this video for my fav paint colors that I use time and time again from top brands like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Dunn Edwards, Farrow and Ball, and Behr.

Just found you in the last week and I’m delighted with your videos. They’re content rich with no babbling. Found the one on paint colors and finishes so informative! Great job.
Thank you so much for the feedback Gail, you’re awesome!
Totally agree. And she's too cute. Smart too.
Benjamin Moore has never ever failed me. I love your nail polish example. BM paints look as fresh in year 10 as day 1. Their colors are dynamic, changing with the light throughout the day. BM is worth the price. Applies clean, like butter. Have been majorly let down with Behr. SW is good for exterior. Luv you Julie 💕
Thank you for watching! There really is a great variety for every budget and need 👍🏻☺️
So glad I ran across your channel! You are so different from other interior designers. Your knowledge and delivery is refreshing- I’m a fan!
Thank you so much for stopping by Maggie! Let me know if there’s any other topics you’d like to see covered!
I agree. Some are too much or too loud or too opinionated.

@@JulieKhuu hi! May I know what the color is in your background for this video on the wall behind you? My bathroom tile is the same color as the brick accent being you & I really like the blue tone gray being you. 😍
@@JulieKhuu I just found your channel today & I'm so glad I did. Not only are you so talented you're also so beautiful and classy. My husband and I just purchased a home in Florida its not a big house its 1500 square feet. Do you recommend we paint each room like kitchen and living room... In different color shades or will that make the house look even smaller? Thank you!
Great video!! I'm no longer in love with my bedroom paint color. Why I ever chose bright yellow is a mystery to me. I chose the color from swatches without researching quality verses price or brand. So after watching this video, I feel much more confident in choosing the right color for our bedroom. Thank You Julie for explaining the differences in paint brands and the quality of the paint based on price.
I didn’t understand the difference in quality until I painted the walls myself Patricia. The good ones simply need primer and one coat! 😍
I just bought a home and I can finally decorate it the way I want!your video was so informative and helpful, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it thank you! I hope my home will look as beautiful as some of the hotels you have designed 🌞
Thank you so much for watching Sonia ☺️
Congrats on your new house 👏👏
I’m late to the game with this video but WOW it’s extremely helpful.
I appreciate how you categorize and organize your content. You also explain what certain “terms” mean which makes interior design less intimidating. You need your own show already! 👏💯
Manifesting that show now Toni! 🙌🏻 Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
You were the first one to talk about the colors and define how they cross over. I’m not a designer but my eye is seems keen on this subject. I love hearing from someone who knows this stuff. Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for watching Tonya! I appreciate your kindness and feedback 🙏🏻☺️
THANKS, Julie, your videos informative and not only me loves it. i started fixing my home according to your style and suggestions, my house is having a limited space but so many styles I can do to make it look rich and so elegant, pleasing to the eyes. my friend asked me how did I learn this interior decorating, all I can say is Julie Khuu takes the credit...
You are the sweetest Jewels! You’re the one doing all the heavy lifting 🙌🏻☺️
Have done my entire Interior of my 1 Bedroom Condo with Sherwin Williams Greys from JK's suggestions at 7:01. I'm always Complimented on the Wonderful look and how Everything Coordinates so Beautifully. I Love her Designs and Ideas !
Yay! Glad it worked out for you Allison! 🙌🏻
Me too! Just found you Julie & I love your style 😍😍
Love the video and your taste is impeccable. Only suggestion is to keep the color swatches on screen longer just for screenshots! Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback! Will do from now on 🙏🏻
Email to me
Thanks
@@JulieKhuuyou are the best
Yesssssss
Thank you! This was super helpful! We are mixing ivory/off-white trim, cupboards, and doors (throughout our home) with a new bright white washer and dryer in our laundry room. Our pedestal sink and toilet in the same small room are bisque, and shelving with cupboards above the washer and dryer are ivory-ish. I was stuck with how to pull together the white and off/white with a neutral wall color. Thank you! Since we have both gray and beige in our tile floor, it looks like a light greige from Benjamin Moore will work. Grateful.
I like that you actually tell us what’s the best to use. Other designers don’t give helpful tips
Thank you for watching and the feedback Grace 🙏🏻☺️
This video is everything ❤️! Especially for a very green inexperienced person trying to design a new space.
Nichole P thank you so much for watching babe! I love making informative vids like this- I remember how difficult it was for me to pick a great neutral paint color when I was just starting out! Got it wrong 2-3 times before getting it right! Lol hope this helps your future paint projects!
@@JulieKhuu Hi, Julie, I am moving to a new house, considering to hire a interior designer, would you be interested?
Grey is such a chameleon colour depending on lighting and the colour of your furniture/decor/accent wall. We have twilight grey by sherwin Williams in our living room and there’s about 4 different colours it changes to throughout the day.
Yes, exactly! Tinted white does the same thing 🤍
Is that a good thing?
I, like many others that are now subscribed to your channel, have learned a tremendous amount of great knowledge courtesy of you. Thank you , thank you, thank you. I normally know what I want or looking to achieve in whichever room I am working on. At least I have found it to be the case with exception to my latest project. I have only had to repaint a wall color one time in the past where it didn't turn out to be what I was looking to achieve. My powder room is now my 2nd repaint. Not only have I had t repaint but 4x times now and still not happy. SO again thank you because I believe I found my answer from your great videos.
Awesome 👏🏻 Glad I can help Lori!
I like the comments on the paint sample and the paint came to life in the examples. Loved.
Thank you!
I just searched for interior design and came across your amazing videos! You are truly gifted! I am embarking on a home remodel and your videos are like a step by step tutorial for me :) Just amazing!
Thank you so much for watching Jane! Appreciate you stopping by with feedback 🙏🏻☺️
That’s a great comparison. Cheap nail polish vs higher end polish 👌🏼
That’s the way I look at it 🙌🏻☺️
I painted our entire interior in Crisp Khaki from Sherwin Williams Cashmere. Love the cashmere. Thick and covers in one coat! The color is a perfect backdrop for my AZ home. Warm and changes colors during different times of day! ❤️
That’s the thing about color, it’s ever evolving 🌄😍
Ok, I was chuckling. Cleaning walls seems to be a potential issue. That seems to be kids and pets issue only. Adults only don't generally do anything to their walls that would require they me wiped down. Yes, you have extremely organized and very useful videos. I like your matte or eggshell finish suggestion for large rooms.
Excellent video! I loved your presentation, description of the various paint manufacturers, sheen types and their uses. I downsized from a large house to a 2 bedroom condo that has floor to ceiling doors in each room leading to a balcony. I used budget friendly Behr's Studio Clay color, but in their highest end paint in eggshell. I used Benjamin Moore's Coventry Gray in my bedrooms...painting the trim the same color as the walls....I love the colors I selected and how they pare with my furnishings. Again, thank you for the video, I found it to be extremely helpful!
You sound like you know what you’re doing M! Awesome 🙌🏻 Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
This was very helpful as an intro to understanding how to pick a neutral and seeing samples of what they are with different brands.
AGAIN so great, Julie, thank you!! So helpful when it comes to what types of paint and color to go with in each room. Your videos are so educational for those of us who are not in the interior design career. Our walls are currently all white and have been since we bought the house, need a change and uplift. Grateful, thank you.
Look to your furniture to help inspire the wall colors Geri 🙌🏻
@@JulieKhuu Great tip, thank you. Might you be doing (or already done) a post on whether or not rooms should be like colors or contrasting?
We painted livingroom kitchen hallway and bathroom. We bought Benjamin Moore paint and so glad we did. Had to only do the walls one . The paint covers so well it was beautiful except one small area in the kitchen. Had to go over this area twice because of high traffic place. I recommend this great paint to everyone. You said it was the most expensive but so worth it. My walls havent been painted in a long time. 14 years!! They look better than ever. Paint is so worth the money. Covered a multitude of sins. Use high grade paint if you want the best results.
Totally 🙌🏻 My thoughts exactly Joyce, when you know, you KNOW!
The Marquee line from Behr is excellent.
Love your content! I’m going to be a new home owner and I feel so lost. Your videos have really helped point us in the right direction. I wish you had a grid per room of the recommended neutrals and finishes. Paint has been the most daunting for me and now I have to figure out the main furniture pieces based on your advice. I need a cozy greige color for my bedroom that goes well with CoreTec LVT flooring in Iona, I’ve changed my mind 3 times already.
Make sure you get a ton of samples painted on the wall, place your LVP on the floor next to them, and keep living with it until you’re 100% confident Katrina! You will never regret all the time you took to get it right, but you will always regret getting the color wrong once it’s painted all over your home. You got this 🙌🏻
Man am I glad I found your channel! I am preparing my home for sale and painting the entire interior except for the bathrooms which are a light gray. My realtor said to paint “griege”, and my painter uses Benjamin Moore. I have zero eye for color. Your brand specific tips are on point! Thank you so much!
Perfect! Greige is my go-to Marie 🙌🏻
Thank you for supporting the lower cost paints! For those of us on a budget we cannot afford the Farrow and Ball or Maybe even the Benjamin Moore paints. I do use them for smaller rooms or projects because the quality is so good. I have been using the Behr for years now and I can say the quality has gotten much better. I usually use the mid to upper range ones like the Marquee. I get quite good one coat coverage with mid tone colors. And the flats I have used are quite nice. There is a color called Poppyseed Black that I love, and many others. Like the warm and relaxing Warm White Wool. So I have repainted most of my interior in Behr and it is holding up quite well and is very scrubbable. I am an artist so I tend to lean towards more vibrant and warm earthy colors unless it is my studio where I like white walls so the Southern light from my window does not bounce a color off the walls and change the light onto my canvases... I don't tend towards the dark blacks on a large scale as I don't like the cave look. I reserve that for a theater room. I am too much of a light lover. Great tips! Thanks!
Thank you for watching Brown! There’s definitely something for every budget out there! I’ve used them all over the course of my design career 👍🏻☺️
Hi Julie, I just recently purchased my new 🏡. I have been watching your videos. They are great;educational and inspiring! I am so excited to use your tips and suggestions on how to decorate. Thank you so much.😘
Congratulations Lupita! The fun begins! 🙌🏻
Hi Julie! Just found your videos today and I can say I’m addiicted to it already. Very informative since we’re starting to built our own house soon. Thank you for all the tips that you’re giving.🙏
Awesome thank you Melody! What a dream project!
Just bought a house (first time homeowner 🙂) and getting started.. paint was first thing on my mind until I watched your video, great videos by the way 😍. Thank god I found you amongst thousands of videos on RUclips!
Wish you had a video for beginners with empty house, color pallets, sofa color, kitchen cabinet colors, etc.
I do, it’s in the Dream Space series Rohit! Check it out and let me know your thoughts 🙏🏻☺️
You are a real pro. Forget RUclips, you should be on network television.
Thank you Avery! Clawing my way back to TV soon! 🙏🏻☺️💕
I love your videos. I wish you'd leave the color swatches on the screen longer, so I can read all the comments on them. Thanks for your consideration of doing this in future videos.
Thank you for the feedback Ginger! I’ve been hearing that so have/will correct for future videos! 👍🏻
Wow, soooo much valuable information!!!!! It's like taking a class but one I really want to take. Keep up the good work!!!!
Thank you so much for watching Myra! 🙏🏻💕
We just purchased a home and this video help me decide which color in each room.Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you for watching Joy! 🙏🏻☺️
I used Benjamin Moore Gray owl in my master bedroom and bathrooms, absolutely love it! Thanks for the info
Lovely!
Greige is my favorite color, I love it!! It’s versatile and elegant
There’s a greige for all styles 🙌🏻
Thank you for this super informative video! My husband and I just bought our first home and are in the middle of reno. We decided on Dunn Edwards for paint but wasn’t sure which grey would work! This has definitely narrowed my search! So happy I found your channel! I’m learning a lot! 🙌🏻❤️
Awesome and congratulations on the new pad Lynn! 👏🏻🎉
@@JulieKhuu Thank you so much!! ☺️
I've discovered your Channel yesterday and I'm hooked. Your ideas are awesome! I'm one of these people who have no idea what goes with what so I'm loving your advice. Thank You!
Thank you for watching Linda 🙏🏻☺️
The last thing to deside is the paint. The first to put on is the paint. Julie you make everything so easy to understand! Even I understand now I need A PLAN for the colourscheme. And since Im poor and lazy I always pick the very good paint often high priced so I only have to put two layers on ;)
Yes, quality paint glides on and covers so beautifully 😍
Is funny, I've used all the high end paints but always come back to Behr Marquee. I think they always look amazing. 👍👍
No fail fan favorite 🙌🏻
I love your videos☺️. These videos are great for learning, super informative especially for people like me who are hopeless with figuring out colors and decor. I honestly wish I could afford to have you do my place. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻
As a pro painter I would had adjusted some of your advises on the sheens particularly, but still great overall knowledge and useful advises!!! Constantly using most of your sherwin williams picks and some of benjamin moore.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Just what I was looking for! Very valuable information on paint which is the most important decision you make!
Glad it was helpful Debbie! Thank you for watching 🙏☺️
I really like your design style. I would love to see some of your inspiration boards! I live in Florida and would like to see how you would do coastal.
I never thought to share my mood boards but I do love this idea Ched! Like with shoppable links? 🤔
Greige is exactly what I'm looking for!
Awesome, so many great options!
I have used Behr paint for many, many years. The quality is excellent. So is Valspar from Lowe's. Don't buy into the idea that you need to buy paints that are twice as expensive but in no way twice as good. I know decorators in my area that are not pompous about these things and they love Behr and Valspar. it glides on the wall and looks fantastic. It is fairly priced and is easy to find. So go for it and save some money by using Behr (from Home Depot) or Valspar (from Lowe's). It will go on great and look great! I do also like Sherwin-Williams paint, but for the money and the great results I get, I most often go with the Behr or Valspar.
Yup, go with what you value and can afford 🙌🏻
That is so true that paint is last! LOLOL. My husband and I are going through this now. LOL!!! We tried to start with paint but we started doing other decorating and NOW we know what color walls we want!!!
It takes some experience to understand this vital step DR 🙌🏻☺️
Hi Julie! Thank you for your great videos. I'm really looking forward to your new topics. We are on new construction home building process and your videos gives me a lot of ideas. Now I'm confused about what color should I get for my flooring. Should I go on darker ones or lighter. Can you make a video about what is the best color of floors for any particular wall color or cabinet color and some furnitures. Thank you!
Thank you for watching Joyce! This is a popular request and I’m working on it now. Stay tuned 👍🏻
Excellent information. Please leave the swatch information a little longer. 😊
It’s very easy to press pause and get what you need :-)
Yes that was my intent too 😊
Will do Tammy! I’m always nervous when videos run too long, I don’t want to scare you away lol
@@historia6150 that is a good idea. Thank you for your suggestion 😊
@@JulieKhuu your video on paint was a breath of fresh air. Your knowledge, advice and delivery is greatly appreciated.
Deciding on paint brands, quality of paint and finding continuity of color from one room to the next is a challenge.
Thank you very much for helping me organize my ideas on colors, quality and brand.
You're amazing.
Thank you. 💗💗💗
I tested 3 bright whites - one each from Benj. Moore, Sherwin Williams, and Behr. I chose Behr's Ultra White -- It's so beautiful! The only problem is that it takes several coats to get a true saturation so that you don't "see through" it, as it were. But it's brighter than the other colors and is gorgeous no matter the time of day or night. I'm doing all of the public areas in it as well as 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It's also the color for all of the woodwork, so there's continuity throughout the house. Ahhhh! There's nothing like a color you love to make 2020's sheltering in place a really welcoming refuge.
I love that you’ve become a color expert during this time Margaret 🙌🏻 A great primer should lessen the amount of finish paint needed!
@@JulieKhuu Behr's includes a primer. However, most of the walls I'm painting have an off-white color on them, so I'm not trying to cover a dark color. And where the color is dark, I've put on 2 coats of Kilz! It still takes several coats of the Ultra White to do the job. So it's a lot of $ for paint and a lot of work, but I love the color so much that it's worth it! lol
please help me choose what finish i should go with in ultra white as this is the color i decided to paint my walls, is matte better for walls or something else and what finish for doors and other woodwork?
and also how about priming first my walls have black and yellow color
Great advice. Lighting dictates color. Always. The reason you pick the color last is that there are 100's of 1000's of paint colors and if you picked your paint first you will have a hard time blending it and matching it with your rugs/upholstery. Also, if you pick bold colored upholstery that color will impact the color you chose for your walls. I once had a client pick very neutral agreeable Gray (SW) with new construction build and then buy a Red sectional. It instantly turned this wonderful wall color Pink toned. So, it is very important to pick out your furniture and rugs curtains then pick out your wall color. When picking finish of paint you have to consider the fact that anything other than flat cannot be then easily touched up.. you have to repaint the entire wall with eggshell/satin etc. I always recommend flat for walls. You can easily touch it up without having to repaint the entire wall. Flat paint also hides a multitude of sins. If the finish on your walls is not perfect, definitely use flat paint.
I had a client pick SW Sea Salt on new Construction. Which looks stellar in well lit rooms with it's cool Blue/Green-Gray undertones. Then she moved in with all her warm under toned furniture and rugs. I have never seen Sea Salt look so ugly in a house. Lighting and what you put to the room impacts your color so much.
Thank you for watching and appreciate the feedback Shelley! I love a good flat sheen, so modern and chic especially against skimmed coat walls 😍 But they also show fingerprints and smudges so easily. Mr. Clean magic eraser can remove pretty much anything on satin or higher.
You are the GOAT! Thanks for breaking it down. Now I feel more confident about selecting paint colors.
Lol thanks 🙏🏻 Make sure to paint samples before committing!
Just a dude passing through, living in a house unchanged from the day it was bought. All one kinda gross yellow color, just now starting to get into this whole "interior design" world.. Come hell or high water I'm going to figure this crap out, even if it kills me haha
You can do it James! Watch a few of my color videos for more tips and also check out my Dream Space series for a step by step guide 👍🏻☺️
I love Benjamin Moore Aura. It’s a true one coat paint
Exactly 🙌🏻
Thank you Julie for this great content. You lady have mad skills. I can't stop watching your videos. Instead of going into debt purchasing a new home. I have decided with your help to renovate the one I own. I never thought about the paint sheens I would have just bought flat paint. Also, I am thinking I can get the Benjamin Moore swatches and have Home Depot make samples with Behr paint. Love the Classic Grey, and Revere Pewter with Decorators White trim. Can't wait to try samples on the wall. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Yes exactly 🙌🏻 You got it Belinda! Any paint vendor can mix any color, what you’re really paying for is the quality of the paint. The more expensive ones usually look richer, but if you’re on a budget your solution is perfect. You can do it!
amazing information including the graphs
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
paint chips don’t mean diddly only painting the wall works
gray owl is the best 👍
I'm with ya on that Marie! I always have my paint samples made on large sheets that I tape up in the room from wall to wall. Natural light always hits differently.
I wish I would have watched this video last year, I painted my entire home in Behr's aged beige last year, so I'll definitely be repainting some of those areas.
Thank you for watching Sabine 🙏🏻 Take note of what you like/ don’t like about Aged Beige and look for some contrast that’s more your style and aesthetic ☺️
So educational! Again, premium content. Thank so you much! I love DIY channels but I love having your professional eye and experience that really makes a difference.
Thank you so much Isaac 🙏🏻
Thank you, I just discovered your channel and love it! This information on paint is so helpful. I am a mosaic artist and we are renovating our small 700 sq.ft. home. Can you do a video on how to successfully use jewel tone colors on walls in small open spaces. Teal, rust, green? Or are these best for accent colors? I would like to showcase our artwork as well.
Thank you for watching ☺️ If you go to my website (in description box) check out Hotel Le Reve commercial project. I use tons of saturated color in this space
This was very informative! Thank you! There was so much good information! I just recently painted a bedroom in gray owl and it’s beautiful. I like the satin finish !
Awesome! 🙌🏻 Satin is my fav sheen, subtle but luxe
The bulk of my interior is painted Tony Taupe (7038) from Sherwin Williams. I have a lot of natural light in the house and this color looks great. I've had it up for about 15 years and I still love it. It may look dark, but it's not too dark in my space.
Then you made the perfect choice 🙌🏻
So funny you say this, as I was just admiring a color I also chose 15 years for a 2-story accent wall in my dining room, which is Behr's "Harmonic Tan." And I still LOVE it today!
I loved this and thank you, Julie, for making such an informative and well presented video, highlighted with examples of your beautiful designs! I plan to watch more of them.
I generally like watching your videos and I gained some knowledge from this one as well. However, may I make one suggestion... The reason I watched your video is so that I could learn more about some of these paint colors. When you actually got to the paint colors you quickly brushed through them so that I had to go back several times and pause it so that I could study, review the different colors and everything you wrote on them. My suggestion would be to hold that frame a little longer when there are multiple things for your viewers to read. I recognize this is an older video and maybe you can’t do much with it at this point, but for future reference it would be helpful for you to pause on the colors and talk a little bit about each one that you introduce. Just a suggestion.
Yup, agreed Anita! Love my viewers and your constructive feedback- you all help to make our channel better! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
True
V.valuable info..but we cant catch up with ur speed...
I like you Hair color, and that's not a compliment I give out often. Nice hair!
Thank you so much!
I do also.Very refreshing. I'm not sure if you'd want to give up the name of your hair color?🤭
Loved this video. We are buying a new home and will probably be painting a couple of rooms prior to moving in, so I loved seeing your fav’s and the colors. Keep these video’s coming Juli!
Awesome Shelley! Hope you found some great samples to use! 🙌🏻
This is super helpful. I'm in the process of remodeling my master bath and kitchen and have been so overwhelmed with paint choices. Thank you 🙏
Hope one of the colors can work for your space Madison 🙏🏻☺️
Julie what I find troubling is figuring out how to design and paint my home because of vaulted ceilings. My ceilings range from 16 to 20 ft tall. Any advice? Maybe you can create an entire video. Thanks.
I have vaulted ceilings as well. Treat your walls as you would with a consistent ceiling height. Visually, seating groups + walls is what the viewer will focus on.
All of your videos are amazing! Choosing Paint color is so hard because you don't know how it is going to turn out! Do you have recommendation for greenish-gray (Benjamin Carter gray looks nice , but still not sure) color that would work well for somewhat dark family den? It will have tan color leather mid century style sofa. I want the family room to have dark color painting or accent color wall with dark color. But I am afraid the room would be too dark. Any advice? TIA!!
Paint a few samples you like on the walls and watch it change color throughout the day Eujin! You’d be surprised what you end up picking.
Julie you are the best designer I really like the way you explain each and every detail thanks so much
Thank you for watching Nurunissa 🙏🏻☺️
I can enjoy neutrals, in other people’s homes. I couldn’t live with them though. I am more Laurence Llewelyn Bowen. 😊 I discovered your channel just yesterday and it is truly wonderfully informative. Can I say how I love your hair!
Thank you for watching! I’m with ya on that one, I live in color! 🙌🏻☺️
Loved this video, but you didn’t touch on the ceilings. We are moving into a home next month and my husband wants all the ceilings painted while there isnt any furniture. We lean more to the warmer tone furniture and flooring. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you
Whatever the wall paint color is, go for the lightest color on the paint chip for the ceiling. That way, they echo the room color without it being white Gale. Hope this helps!
Would like to be able to look at it a little longer without just speeding through.
Copy Cheryl, I felt the video was already too long and you would simply pause if you found something you liked. But I hear ya! Will leave the notes on a bit longer ☺️👍🏻
True they go by fast, but if you use the keyboard shortcuts (if using a computer), K for pause, J for back and L for forward (or the arrow keys for shorter back or forward), it's helpful to navigate.
I took screenshots of the notes I wanted to keep in my 'Decorating' file. Thanks Julie Khuu!
Cheryl Lesley Right, I had to use my iPhone and screen shot lol
@@lexitejeda6209 Didn't know this! Thanks for that helpful tip!
Thank you Ms. Khuu. Really good video! Good info and not a lot of unnecessary blather! Good info on paint brands, neutral color choices, and sheens. Very professional and good useful information.
Thank you for watching and the feedback Sooner 🙏🏻☺️
You make it sound so easy ! I really have no eye for colors, so really need someone like you ! Love your channel ❤️
Thank you so much Eva! It gets easier with practice 👍🏻
Please do not talk about "Paint & Primer in one" that is something the Behr paint started and then the other marketing divisions of the other companies jumped on board. If you read the TDS sheets on such paints, they all say for best results use a primer or works over previously painted surfaces. From a chemist standpoint, it's either one or the other, a primer is not a finish coat and a coating designed to be a finish coat cannot be a primer. Do yourself a favor, always recommend a primer and topcoat, especially when in new construction.
I love your insight, thank you so much for taking the time to stop by! Noted!
Why spend the money on paint when we want to change it often.. I'm confused ! The simple way to change a room is paint Color,
No paint quality
The value of interior design comes from inspiring a wellness mindset. If you don’t think spending money on paint will help lift your spirits and outlook, then you don’t find value in design. It’s definitely not for everyone, but paint is the CHEAPEST way to transform a room. ☺️
I understand your mindset but you can achieve it without the expense with paint and put it toward furnishings. You've so much information to offer and do love your designs
So appreciate your helpful videos. In process of whole House Remodel - to a Old World Mediterranean Style with Earth Tones. (Yes I'm odd bird) Cabinets - Ginger with Coffee Highlight. French Oak Flooring in darker Coffee Tone that gives contrast to cabinets. Taj Mahal Quartzite used in countertops - also in Shower Surrounds etc. (Earth Tone with Travertine in Accent Tile) Oil Rubbed Bronze Faucets etc. Fireplace being remodeled to look more Old World with Rod Iron Screen - also picking up the Rod Iron in Ceiling Chandeliers. (Not heavy rod iron - just a light touch to get the Med. look) All materials have been picked out & I was getting close to choosing Wall/Trim Paint color. Watched this video plus your video on what Paint color vs Wood Color --- but I'm still a little confused. With Exception of bedrooms, my house is filled with a lot of light. South & East facing walls have floor to ceiling windows--- Large Skylights in Bathrooms. I have high vaulted ceilings. I love contrast. Wanting to keep my home feeling warm, comforting, serene & relaxing. I will be using Benjamin Moore paint. Do you have a recommendation for color choice?
I love the direction you’re going Carolyn. From what it sounds like, maybe still do tonal earth tones in the common areas (not too much contrast between walls and trim), then you can play with colors and contrast in the individual spaces to really add the oomph. Furniture helps tremendously to help your direction- also check out how to pick the perfect color palette for more inspiration! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
I have the most beautiful paint in my room. It is a Sherwin Williams Muted Violet with tons of white in the room. One wall is entirely white shutters. I wish it had a light in the ceiling so I could put a crystal chandelier in it.
Sounds so serene! 😍
Maybe next time spend more time showing the colors instead of yourself talking.
Thank you Richard, I appreciate the feedback. I figured viewers would just pause when they see a swatch they liked but you're right, more content. Less face time.
@@JulieKhuu I like your face. Facetime Good, lol.
The way you explain is so educative.
Do the grey shades you have shown in the video go with hot lighting.
Thank you for watching Rashmi! What is hot lighting? I’m unfamiliar with the term. 🤔
This is THE PERFECT video for a makeover! Hope u can continue with practical videos like this, maybe...''How to decide the layout of your space" cause i literally have no idea where to leave the couch hahahah.
Oh I love that idea Constanza, just dropped a new video on creating your dream space with layout ideas. Hope you’ll tune in!
@@JulieKhuu u the best! One day you'll be in GMA, I just know that. ;)
Thank you... very helpful in picking out a warm neutral. Love the Geige...
Awesome, glad I can help Leslie ☺️
Is geige the color?
Thank you so much for this video. I am new to interior painting and this gives me a lot of insight.
Awesome, hope you can use some of these tips in your home ☺️
Love Julie's "vibe"!! Can you answer a question - on your Santa Isabel Residence, what paint color did you use on the great room and kitchen walls? And color of kitchen cabinets?
Thank you for watching Anna! Antique paper Dunn Edwards. Kitchen cabinets were a custom mix ☺️
I'm watching this in 2021, the first day of the New Year. So Happy New Year and hoping that you and the toddler are fairing well in the start of this new decade.
Thank you for watching Melissa and happy new year!! 🎇🎆
Great information. I took pictures with my phone of the colors I liked and the chart at the end. That was most helpful. Thank you.
Perfect! Exactly how I intended this video to be utilized Sandy! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Wonderful information! I've always wondered what sheen should be used where. In the past I went with what was pleasing to my eye, yikes! I just learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
Awesome 🙌🏻 Thanks for watching Carolyn!
I have learned so much just watching this video! I subscribed. I'm going to binge watch your channel. ☺❤
Thank you so much Christina! Let me know if there’s anything specific you want to see on my channel!
Thank you for all the information! So helpful
Yes my home paint colors were an epic fail. For exactly the reasons she explained - there were various reno projects we wanted to do before we moved the kids in, we had no furniture and I had no clue. Currently, working with BM paint independently owned shop and their team is phenomenal and I’ve loved LOVE the changes we’ve made.
Can’t go wrong with BM and a team of experts April 🙌🏻
Thank you for this awesome video! So helpful! Can you please do a video on putting a whole house palette together? I’m really stuck on how to choose multiple colors for various rooms that will create a cohesive look. Thank you!
I have that video up now- check out how to choose a color palette for every room in the house ☺️
Thanks for the videos. They are so refreshing to listen to - interesting while condensed with concise but relevent content.
Thank you for watching and the feedback Pat! 🙏🏻☺️
Wow! I have to write all these down ; I’m planning to paint my bathroom , kitchen, and family room while still in quarantine! Thank you for your expert advice! I was thinking to use Benjamin Moore paint for bathroom and kitchen . I painted my bathroom vanity with Benjamin Moore Chelsea ( gray) and I love it!
Benjamin Moore is the BEST! If you know, you know 😉🙌🏻
Nobody probably noticed but I love your make up here! ☺️💗💕💓💞
Thank you for watching KT 🙏🏻☺️
Liked the video. Please do a video on exterior neutral paint colors
Will do! Love this idea! What facade material are you working with Gladys?
Julie Khuu Thanks! The material is concrete and stucco.
This is so amazing!! Your are so knowledgeable and your voice is just extremely soothing
Thank you for watching and your kindness Alanna 🙏🏻☺️
A lot of people don't realize if you find a color from say Sherwin Williams, but can't afford the paint, you can take the chip to HD and they will mix it for you in their paint.
Totally 🙌🏻 And you only need a quarter-sized sample of any color to custom make a match!
Great video on choosing paints. I love your decorating. You are very talented. Thank you.
Thank you for watching Marcia! ☺️🙏🏻
