The single-hue approach enhances the room’s architectural details, making the intricate molding and paneling stand out in a sophisticated way. The eggshell sheen adds a subtle warmth and soft texture that elevates the space.

A Bold and Inviting Hallway with Color Drenching
Hallways are often overlooked in design, but this space shows how a rich, saturated color can elevate even the most transitional areas into something special. Painted in Reddened Earth by HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, the warm, earthy tone envelops the walls, trim, and ceiling in a cozy yet dramatic embrace. This terracotta-inspired hue adds depth and warmth, creating a welcoming atmosphere as you move through the space.
Color drenching here brings out the architectural details, allowing the moldings and doorways to flow seamlessly into the design, avoiding any interruptions to the visual flow. The warm undertones complement the natural wood elements and soft lighting, enhancing the intimacy and stylish vibe of the space. The walls and ceiling are finished in satin sheen, while the doors have a semi-gloss finish. If I had to do it again, I would opt for satin on the doors as well—the semi-gloss feels a bit too glossy for my taste.
This hallway proves that even the smallest spaces can make a big impact with the right color and finish choices!

A Playroom Full of Color & Fun
For a lively and cheerful playroom, Pressed Flower by Sherwin-Williams brings the perfect pop of color. This soft, yet vibrant hue adds warmth and energy to the space, creating an environment where creativity can flourish.

It’s the perfect backdrop for a room that will grow with your child, offering both whimsy and warmth.
