paint ideas for an entire house (indoors)?
My husband & I are buying a new home and there is wallpaper all over - which has to go. Once we tackle that we are clueless on what color & paint schemes will work for all the different rooms.
Our current home is small and was hubby's before we met so aside from the kitchen (coca-cola red), he put eggshell in every other room of the house.
Without paying tons to hire a designer we need help, are there any websites, books, or magazines that give suggestions on paint schemes for an entire house (kitchen, dining room, living room, bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways)???
Thanks!!
Erin, sorry but the wallpaper has awful patterns & has to go. We may go room by room and thus put up with it for a while (it is in pretty decent condition), but its outta the new house...
But I do totally agree with you about dark colors - I find it also makes rooms feel smaller.

Go to Sherwin Williams. Take lots of pics of your house with you. They will help you with an entire palette. If you're in a larger city, they even have color consultants who will come to your home...I believe at no charge. Also, their website has palettes. I recommend their Duration Home line of paint. Excellent quality, goes on great, low VOC's. The staff there is highly trained & knowledgable.

keep the wallpaper! it has more design! or maybe strip some of it and paint the walls you stripped it of, and find a paint color that goes good with it. I advise you to not paint dark colors though, because it makes the room get a lot hotter a lot quicker
