Winter Blues

Baby, it’s cold outside! Are you stuck in the house and already played every board game and binge-watched your favorite show to the series’ end? Bust out your coveralls and grab a brush—beat cabin fever by splashing a new pop of color onto that bedroom wall or hallway to brighten things up.  I’ve found five faultless paint colors to help fend off those winter blues:

1. Stunning by Benjamin Moore A sophisticated, mild blue that is perfect as an accent wall in a guest bedroom. For a nice finishing touch, paint the trim and floor boards in a white or cream color.

2. Night Swim by Valspar Valspar categorizes Night Swim as one of its ‘Oceanic Blues.’ If you listen closely, you can hear the waves rolling over the rocks in the distance as you sleep in a room painted with this tempered shade of blue.

3. Salty Dog by Sherwin Williams Guilty—this blue made the list because of its name. Who doesn’t want more dog in their home? This blue belongs to Sherwin Williams’ neutral paint color category and is perfect to create an eye-catching front door.

4. Spring Flowers by Benjamin Moore If anything can stifle the winter blues, it’s the hope of the arrival of spring. This light, encouraging shade of blue will infuse your home with thoughts of fresh flowers and cut grass.

5. Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok Fine! by Clark & Kensington O.P.I This simple, beautiful gray-toned paint will have your guests wondering if it’s really a true blue.
