Colors for a new house?

what colors flow the best for a new house inside?Colors for a new house?
Depends what your personal likes/dislikes are..and your furniture colours. I took a long time to figure out the colours for my new house, but your style and furniture has to be considered unless you are starting from scratch. I can't tell you colours if I don't know what you like..might not be what I like.


Personally I like lots of colour..hate tan/beige, but most people like that as they are safe colours that go with everything making it easier.Colors for a new house?
Neutrals. Not white, except in bathrooms maybe. Warm neutrals (pale yellows, tans, beiges, and pale greens) on north-facing rooms or rooms with low light. Cool neutrals (pale grays, blues, and some blue-toned greens) on south-facing rooms. Large rooms with lots of light can take darker colors, but stick with an eggshell finish or the glare will ruin the effect.





If you're looking for a single color throughout the house, stay away from whites -- pure whites are bland, cool whites are cold, and warm whites look old (in a single room, they can be good choices). A safe choice is a pale warm beige; warm tones are more casual and more preferred, a pale but definite color will have a nice contrast with whatever your molding is (assuming you have medium to dark wood tones or white), and beige goes with everything.
It really depends on your style and what you already have. It also depends on the size and location. If it is very small I would go for white and only a few other colors. very simple. If it is largish, you could go for really cool, fun colors. Really bright and funky!


It all depends on the house and your style!

Totally depends on your taste in decor. If you like earthy things, then go that route...look in your closet- you will be most comfortable painting the walls with colors inspired by your favorite shirt or sweater.
light green looks amazing in a house.


very soft yellow


tan/light brown

Like everyone else said, it depends on what you like. One suggestion though if you need some inspiration is to go to a paint store. Usually where they have the paint chip displays they also have brochures that picture different color combinations used in a room and the paint colors used in the photographs are listed so you know exactly what color to purchase - and the brochures are free!
