August-September 2015 Paint Colors

Benjamin Moore's Mountain Moss

Paint colors from the Ballard Designs catalog

Because we shoot in real homes, we are not always at liberty to paint the walls. In those cases, we have chosen paint colors that best match the wall color in the photo. Please be aware that color may vary due to various light conditions, finish and other factors.  Therefore, it’s always a great idea to test a paint sample on your wall first. We use Benjamin Moore paint, but most paint stores can match any color.

This Fall, we were inspired by dark, rich spaces that make you want to cozy up and sit by the fire or read a book. We’re out to prove that dark colors don’t have to be sad and depressing!!

    Love the Navajo White kitchen, and REALLY love the gray/green cabinet. Do you know what color the cabinets are painted?! Thank you!

      Carlyn,
      The cabinets are actually our Paullete Cabinets, but unfortunately, we don’t have a color match to the paint color. So sorry!

    Hi! We are moving into a new house and painting the whole interior of the house to give it a nice sprucing up! Would love to get some help picking out some colors. I would honestly pay you for some assistance! I could maybe give you the address to look up the listing since it was just sold. Looking forward to hearing from you 🙂

    I love the Avery Olive upholstery fabric in your catalog, and just ordered a swatch. I am thinking of ordering it on the Eaton loveseat for a living room I am redecorating. I see you have used the Mountain Moss on your walls with the Avery Olive sofa. I want to brighten up this living room with a lighter wall color, but am considering an accent wall in the Mountain Moss. I need ideas for a lighter shade of green to coordinate with the accent wall. Also wondering about an off white wall color that would coordinate with the white in Avery Olive, but wonder if that is too great a contrast with one Mountain Moss wall. Suggestions?

    The same area rug appears to be utilized in three or four different situations. One appears to be a dining room; one, an office; another, in a different dining area. The colors of the rug seem to be terra cotta shades and green shades. What is the name of the area rug? Does the rug have any black in it? Is a sample of the rug available to order? Thank you very much for showing so many staging possibilities.

      Hi Faye,
      Thanks for your comment! You can definitely order a sample of our Kashan Hand Tufted Rug. We’re thrilled to hear you like it! And yes, it does have a touch of black in it.
