If a teenage girl is painting the inside of her rustic cabin/garden shed in her parents back yard what colors should she go with? She has wood floors and wood walls. The door on the inside is a woodfinish.
The cabin has no bathroom inside. She will be sleeping inside on some summer nights. Since she has windows that are like shutters she will not see anything while inside at night. She wants to paint the inside of the door and shutters a different color than the walls. What colors do people recomend for the shutters and door?
While inside she plans to close the door and shutters. Her desk and cott and going to be looking at the door. What color should she paint the door?
I mentioned white and she said white makes her feel depressed. She wants one color for the walls and another for the door and windows.
What color would look good for the inside of the door?

well I don’t know if she’s creative or not, but I would absolutely die if my parents gave me a blank wall to paint however I wanted! I’d have so many ideas to fill it with, but thats just me. Ask her if she wants to make it a project and paint it herself. Otherwise, if she wants it a single color, I’d go with a lighter one, or maybe two different colors for contrast and to make the shed appear larger. I’d put a large mirror on a wall too. I wish I had one to decorate… such a lucky girl!
but the guy way above me is right, just take her to Lowes and let her pick the colors she wants from the swatches.
good luck!
It sounds like she wants lively, lovely color; why not do a soft, sunny yellow for the door and shutters, and a muted sage green for the walls? These colors will reflect natural beauty, be soothing yet not boring or depressing, and will be relaxing. White wicker furniture might work with this and play in to the garden scene.
Maybe a light yellow, to brighten the room a little.
It probably wont be very bright because its a garden shed cabin, thing:)
or greens:)
Just take her to a local Lowe’s to look at color samples!
pastel colours would be nice. baby blue and lavender, perhaps. or if she wants darker and contrasting colours, maybe midnight purple and soft yellow.
I would paint the walls purple and the trim/shutters bright yellow, seems very gardeny to me.
any colour she likes , it is her shed
A shed is like wood, so light brown will be good
Cyan is a nice color
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the “painted” rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/
I think “cordovan” (# 6027) might be a great choice for the door & Shutters, and then “paper lantern” (# 7676) for the walls.
You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:http://www.roomvues.com/
You can get color suggestions & for $5 they’ll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
