Now that I have a genuine room dedicated to guitars, amps and recording gear, I'm thinking some fresh paint may be in order to summon back that elusive muse of mine. Currently its a boring eggshell white but I'm thinking it needs a little something. What do you guys have in terms of wall coloring in your space, and is it a departure from the rest of your house? My wife is a big fan of beiges and pale greys 😴

It fascinates me that you even have a say in the matter.

I was just joking with the wife that I was thinking about "mesa red" and hanging some Longhorns on the wall space above the closet doors. I could see the "oh no" in the bubble above her head.

Every room in my house is off-White/ Magnolia, apart from one bedroom that Mrs Ayns insisted we paint cafe-au-lait.
It looked much better in off-White. ;-)

Well if *I* were to do that, I'd certainly have those knobs go to 11.

Light colors work better than dark colors because they reflect light better and reduce the need for lighting. Keep the ceiling bright white. Several years back I repainted my living room and dining room. I decided on a light mint green with a slightly darker sage green for base, door casings and window stools. My hunnie thought I was crazy because next to white, the green looked really green (pic below). But after the color went on the walls, it really does not look green anymore; it looks like white with a slightly greenish cast, perhaps from lighting. I've gotten plenty of compliments on it. It was all dumb luck because I did it as an experiment to see how I'd like it.  |

This clip is NSFW. It contains adult language.
It adds very little to the decorating solution but I think it’s funny.

^Well, going on that theme maybe I should get Maude Lebowski to paint the room.

It fascinates me that you even have a say in the matter. It is I who have made all the decisions in all the renovations we have done at the house, down to every last detail.  |

I like the green. I would keep the ceiling white for better light dispersion.
