What Color Should I Paint My Walk-In Closet Island?

Effectively, I didn’t get a single factor accomplished in my walk-in closet this weekend. It’s a vacation weekend right here within the U.S., and for a change, I put completely no strain on myself to get issues accomplished, and I did so with zero guilt. I spent my weekend sitting at my desk within the studio (my favourite place in our home) updating the house tour page on my blog. So if you would like see the entire befores and afters of each room in our home in a single place, or get paint coloration data, you may take a look at that web page.

And I hadn’t even deliberate on being right here this morning. Because it’s a vacation, I had deliberate on spending this vacation sleeping in, adopted by a pleasant breakfast and perhaps watching a film with Matt. However I used to be woke up simply earlier than 6:00am by loud thunder, brilliant lightening, and a great deal of rain pounding on the home windows as a thunderstorm rolled by means of. So I received up and went again to my glad place.

I’ve formally grow to be a morning individual, which is so unusual. All of my grownup life, I’ve been an evening owl. I may keep up till 2:00am or later and had a tough time making myself to go to mattress. Then morning would come, and I’d wrestle a lot to get my day began. However over this final yr, I’ve discovered that my favourite time of day is definitely early morning, earlier than the solar comes up, when the home is darkish, the neighborhood is quiet and nonetheless, Matt remains to be sleeping, and I get an hour or two at my desk, with Cooper curled up at my ft, whereas I sit below the mushy glowing gentle of the pendant gentle above my desk. I really look ahead to it each single night time after I go to mattress. Who’ve I grow to be? 😀

Anyway, this morning throughout these darkish, quiet hours at my desk, I performed round with some totally different colours for my closet island. I had deliberate on portray it the identical coloration as the cupboards — Sherwin Williams Billowy Blue. I even purchased the paint for it since I had run out of paint whereas portray the cupboards. However a number of folks have recommended portray it an accent coloration.

At first, I form of recoiled on the thought as a result of I believed an accent coloration would compete with the wallpaper. However this morning, I began contemplating it extra severely just because I feel it would really spotlight the wallpaper slightly than compete with it. So utilizing my picture editor, I picked out some colours from the principle massive flowers within the wallpaper and examined them out on a really tough mockup of the island.

First, right here’s what Billowy Breeze would appear like. Ignore the grey outlines. I actually used a line drawing of the island for the mockup. The precise island received’t have any grey on it.

However right here’s a sampling of the colours that I picked out from these massive pink flowers. First up is a pink that appears prefer it has only a contact of purple in it…

Subsequent is a pink that’s slightly extra outstanding within the wallpaper.

And that is probably the most outstanding gentle pink within the wallpaper.

However then I made a decision to attempt the darkest pinkish purple coloration from these massive flowers.

This one can also be from the middle of the massive flowers, nevertheless it has a contact of orange to it.

That is the coralish/orange from the massive flowers, nevertheless it’s most likely my least favourite because it appears to battle with the pinks. And the pinks are probably the most outstanding colours within the wallpaper.

And right here’s a lighter model of that coloration, which can also be from the massive flowers, however isn’t as outstanding because the pinks.

I don’t know, y’all. I’ll love an accent coloration in any case! And since this can be a walk-in closet, it doesn’t should be too critical, proper? I can have slightly enjoyable with it. And naturally, it’s simply paint. If I don’t prefer it, I can all the time return to Billowy Breeze. Ought to I check out one in all these accent colours? And needless to say the countertop will likely be a pretend marble, so it is going to be principally white. After which I’ll have the white flowery chandelier above the island. I feel I’m leaning in the direction of an accent coloration now!

Right here’s a side-by-side view of the Billowy Breeze and the accent coloration that’s most likely my favourite.

What do you suppose? Ought to I follow Billowy Breeze? Or ought to I’ve some enjoyable with it and do an accent coloration?
