Dining Room
This dining room got a transformation with this warm, earthy color called Sunset Rose by Valspar®. Picture frame moulding painted in the same color adds texture. A light wood dining table and muted sage green dining chairs are a lovely contrast to the terracotta-colored walls. Medium brown herringbone floors and a patterned neutral rug complete the look.

Bathroom
A plain white bathroom looks warm and textured after a coat of lime paint. This finish has been seen in European homes for centuries, but it's been trending in American interiors recently. Lime paint is made from powdered marble and natural lime. Apply it with a smooth or a textured finish. If you'd like to recreate this look, use Flat Cement Grey #21 Lime Interior Paint by Vasari.
After painting the walls, a wood floating vanity provides plenty of storage. A round mirror and matte black bathroom accessories are the perfect finishing touches to this modern bathroom.

Open Concept Living Space
With open living spaces more popular than ever, it can be challenging to get the flow between living and dining spaces just right. A good paint color can unify the space, ensuring it doesn't feel choppy or disjointed.
In this case, we used a warm cocoa color in the dining room called French Pavilion by Valspar®. It creates a moody backdrop for dinners with family and friends. Then we pulled in the same brown tones into the living room with the flooring, furniture and accessories.
