Do you paint your walls with color?

I am about to take the plunge and do one feature wall a nice purple, I have three steps of carpet leading down to my lounge room which I hope to get matching purple carpet to put down if I can't I will have just bone coloured carpet, but I am so looking forward to doing my feature wall.

I am in the process of painting my walls in the entryway and up the stairs a burgundy..I don't know what color I am going to do the trim yet..I am going to paint my dining room a green color..Color sure does bring out alot of things. When we moved in, it was painted off white. It was nice, but boring. Some of the rooms have wallpaper and I am going to paint them also. I don't want too much color but just enough to give the rooms a nice feel to them..I am having fun with it..I know how you feel about the white.

No, I have neutral walls all the way throughout, its like a chalky white, we have not been here long and the colour was already on the wall. Only in our last house I had my daughters room painted a different colour..But I have seen some nice places with just one wall coloured as a feature wall and it looked awesome.

I like light colored walls. Most of mine are painted Country White. and my bedroom and master bath is a flower kind of wallpaper.

I love colour honey! I only have one area with white walls and that is the hallway/stairs! I find it hard to describe the colour of my living room - ir is sort of golden I suppose but not too dark or too bright and it is a brilliant colour to team with our terracota suite! The kitchen is a nice sunny yellow which is very cheerful and bright, the kids rooms are bold blue and bold green, our room is pale terracota and the bathroom is of course pink! We really need to decorate the whole house again but with my health problem and not being able to earn any money it will have to wait for now! xxx

i love the wall has a paint because it gives more beautiful to the surroundings... and it also give a good look to our houses... i like the color of sky blue,baby pink or peach color.. but it depends on you on how you apply it in your own way to paint... or is it with design as you do...

I do have white walls right now but plan on painting them in the near future. If we are planning on moving soon, it is better to use neutral colors as the house will sell quicker with neutral colors. If we plan on staying in our home for a while, we should not be afraid to paint our walls whatever color we want. I have not decided which colors to use for my rooms as of yet but am thinking.

When I married in 1960 coloured walls, with a different colour feature wall were the rage. Every room was a different colour. Nowadays, most homes are built with the same colour throughout: usually pastel colours or off-white. When we sold our sugar cane farm and retired we bought this house which has a pastel aqua throughout and I find it very refreshing. I wouldn't want to change the walls and find my choice of furniture and furnishings adds plenty enough complimentary colour. Here in Australia there are many "Queenslander" homes which are high blocked with large rooms and high ceilings. These homes are very suited to the bolder colours. My son has a beautifully restored Queenslander with bold, bright colours and it is wonderful.

When I was a teenager my parents let me and my sister each choose a color for our rooms. For my room, I chose a light pink, and a light purple. On each opposite wall, would be either pink or purple. I loved that room! In fact the people who bought the house after we moved, said that was everyone's favorite room. These days I live in an apartment, and I am not allowed to paint the walls. So I find other ways to bring in color. Maybe you could get your husband to allow a light cream, a light yellow, or a light beige. I've been watching all these shows designed to sell houses, and they all say that most homes sell faster with some kind of paint on the wall. They said white seems impersonal, but light neutrals sell quicker. You could tell him that's what the professionals do, LOL!

well at the moment my walls are a lovely strong shade of purple. BUT. soon I will be redecorating with a lovely deep bright red. and a dramatic black and white wallpaper on one wall

I LOVE colors on walls. In fact I have 2 colors in my bedroom, red on the short walls and a light purple on the long walls. I did it that way so that it wouldn't make the rooms seem too dark. In my dining room I have 4 colors...a pale green on the top half and a peach/orange on the bottom half. The built in shelves are an off white almost beige with the insides painted a powder blue. In the bathroom I used a faux technique with the top shade being a very pale pink. And the kitchen is yellow with peach/orange for the trim and the cupboards. I also carried the powder blue paint here on the inside of the cupboards. My livingroom is a pale blue with a pink/purple accents from stencils I made from ripping up newspapers. The only room I don't have colors in is my second bedroom that I'm using as my office. I just never got around to doing anything to it.

I for one, LOVE color on my walls. Call it the graphic designer in me ;) I redecorated my x's bedroom and found that it was fairly easy to pick out a color scheme to suit any mood using home depots simple paint panels- which most pair up with colors that would look good with the main color you have in mind. I ended up doing his bedroom with a chocolate on the walls, a taupe for the trim and the ceiling- yes I said the ceiling, why leave the ceiling a white blah- have to give the color too, anyway the for the ceiling I chose a very light hugh of sky blu. It was such a hit because we found furnishings that matched without a pronblem because it turned out that color scheme was in fashion then- this was about 2 years ago. I am about to purchase a home and have been thinking of what colors to put on the walls, maybe a nuetral brown, tan, or olive green. Even thought you may sell you existing home, a little color never hurt. If you go with nuetral colors it would give the house more appeal when trying to sell if you ask my opinion :)

Oh yes...we have color on our walls...especially our kitchen. It doesn't have a lot of natural light and I decided to paint it in a butternut squash color....yes, I said that light orange color...and we love it! It brightened the kitchen and our mood, especially during long, cold Manitoba winters. My hubby and I vacationed in Moab, Utah and different parts of the Southwestern U.S.A. and our whole home reflects our love of the SW. We have an 'organic' decorating style and and showcased our Aboriginal Arwork in warm shades of yellow, green and taupe. So there is not a room in our house that does not have color on the walls. Most decorators agree the color on the wall sets the tone and mood of each room. Good luck in convincing your hubby of that!

Oh heck no! I love color on the walls of my home. The last 2 homes I owned I was only in for under 3 years each so I never did anything to personalize them at all and they were boring white. The house I am in now I have been in for 6 years. I painted the living room mocha brown with accents of rust and light yellow. That room is attached to the kitchen which I just renovated and is painted lemon yellow. I love color.

That's me, I have white walls in almost the whole house. I did get bold and paint my kitchen yellow and my dinning room a deep burgandy, however the living room open to both of them and in between, I am stuck since I don't want it to clash, but what in the world goes with yellow and burgandy??? So I am now stuck with white, LOL. After that, I decided no more painting, I was not cut out for this.

my house is painted with many different colors. Roofs are white, and so is my room, but the other rooms have all different colors, and all the common areas in the house are colored, not while. I guess that all white is boring, isn't it? although one must make the right choice by picking colors, some are really horrible hehe.

I now stay at my brother's house. Just like what you have, it has white wall all thoughout. In my parent's house, since it is a wooden house, it is use to have barely nothing. Until I tried painting it white. I also placed pastel green colored wall papers on the walls near our sala. In the walls of a room I placed a vinyl which has a design in it with a color combination of beige, cream, and a touch or brown. If I get married soon, I think I would prefer to color each rooms. I love to see colors inside the house. It adds life to it. God bless!

I've always been timid of using colors (bright or not) in my home. Recently though, my fiancee and I bought our new house and the house has 9 or 10 foot ceilings and we're working with 2564 square foot of home. I am working on a surprise "Husker Lounge" for my fiancee, a football heaven get-away for he and his friends. I purchased Husker red paint by Glidden & I am about half way done (just need to pull the ladder upstairs). It will of course be accented with Husker memorbilia and I am very excited to see the outcome. The walls are original 1909 plaster so with the semi-gloss paint, the light plays on the texture and the room itself looks as if it were entirely put together just yesterday. I agree about neutral colors for resale value. But we are here to stay and I hope you soon find a permanent place to call your own too! IT's SOO MUCH FUN!

before im thinking of painting my room's wall..but im just too bc to do it but if possible i wantedto have a color purple in my room--that will match to my curtains and pillows.

We just bought a house and will slowly start to repaint it. Our bedroom is in the process of being painted now. The top half of the room is painted a very light shade of pink, called possibly pink and the bottom half of the room is painted a mellow brown, called cup of chocolate, it looks just the same color as a cup of hot chocolate, there will be a wall border between the two colors to help blend them. When we get around to it the dining room will be a dark blue, the living room will be a paler blue, about two shades lighter. The kitchen will be painted barn red.
