2 Colors of Paint in 1 Room-any pics?
The girls at work suggested I split up my living room with 2 like colors. The lighter would go on the back wall all the way into the kitchen and the dark would go on the front wall, side and down the hallway.
Does anyone have pics of rooms they have done like this?
Thanks!

I have seen it on design shows, I loved how it looked, but DH was nervous it would look weird-he REALLY didnt want to do it and called it a "risk" lol- the worst that could happen would be we would paint over it...no biggie- I wanted to try it and now we both love it.

The problem is that I have an open layout that goes from my living room into the kitchen so it is hard to break it up.

I think that would look really nice. I wish I had a separate dining room but I don't. It is big enough for a dining room table but not considered a dining room.

Re: 2 Colors of Paint in 1 Room-any pics?
We have 2 colors in our living room (sorry I don't have a pic to show you.) I thought it was a little bit of a risk but I think the trick is to pick two colors that are in the same family (i.e. - a darker color and lighter color that are on the same paint swatch) so they complement each other. We chose yellow and I'm so happy with how it came out.

Re: 2 Colors of Paint in 1 Room-any pics?
We have this in a room...not sure if this is the look you are refering to though
eta- the color isn't just paint...it's venetian plaster.

Very Nice. No I mean if you have 4 walls, one or 2 would be different colors than the others.

One color red on the top half of the wall and then another red on the bottom half of the wall with a white chair rail in the middle?
Thanks!

Re: 2 Colors of Paint in 1 Room-any pics?
you could paint the back wall- the one with the window one color and the long wall another- the one that leads to the hallway- you could also continue to the color in the hallway-I didn't see a pic of that, so I am trying to imagine it.
I think it would look great!

One wall in our living room is red. The others are the sage greenish you see in the background.
