The Most Asked Question: The Paint Colors in My Home.

One of the questions I get asked most often is about the paint colors throughout our home. From our trim color to the soft neutrals used in each room, so many of you have messaged asking for the exact shades.

Over the years I have gravitated toward light, timeless paint colors that feel calm and cohesive from room to room. Our home is filled with warm whites, soft grays, and classic neutrals that create a relaxed, coastal inspired feel without ever feeling stark.

Today I am sharing every paint color used in our home, room by room, along with the finishes we used so you can find some inspiration or even recreate a similar look in your own space.

Our Whole House Trim Color

Before getting into each room, one paint color you will see throughout our entire home is our trim color.

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace - CLICK HERE for samples!
Finish: Semi gloss

We use this on our baseboards, moulding, and most interior doors. Chantilly Lace is one of the most beautiful crisp whites. It is bright without feeling sterile and works beautifully alongside warmer neutral wall colors.

Using one consistent trim color throughout the home helps everything feel cohesive.

First Floor Paint Color

Benjamin Moore Misty Gray - CLICK HERE for samples!
Finish: Eggshell

Our first floor walls are painted Benjamin Moore Misty Gray, which is a soft, airy gray with subtle warmth.

This shade works beautifully in spaces that receive a lot of natural light. It feels neutral without leaning too cool and pairs nicely with white trim and warm wood tones throughout the home.

You will see Misty Gray in our entryway and hallways, and it creates a seamless flow between each of our spaces. With white moulding and layered textures like woven furniture, neutral rugs, and natural wood accents, this color helps everything feel bright and timeless.

Mudroom Paint Color

The mudroom is one of my favorite spaces because it mixes paint and wallpaper for a layered look.

Finish: Semi gloss
Location: Beadboard beneath the wallpaper

Revere Pewter is a classic warm gray that has been popular for years for good reason. It is incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with wallpaper patterns and natural materials like woven baskets and wood accents.

Using it in a semi gloss finish on the beadboard trim adds a subtle contrast against the wallpaper above.

Primary Bedroom Paint Color

Our primary bedroom is painted in a soft warm white that feels calm and relaxing.

We used Aesthetic White on the walls, trim, and doors in this room to create a monochromatic look. It is a warm neutral that shifts slightly depending on the light but always feels soft and inviting.

This paint color works especially well in bedrooms because it creates a peaceful environment without feeling overly stark.

Our Neutral Paint Color Palette

Throughout our home, we have curated a consistent palette of:

Soft warm whites
Light neutral grays
Muted greens
Classic white trim

Using a small group of coordinating paint colors helps each room feel connected while still allowing each space to have its own personality.

If you are choosing paint colors for your home, my biggest advice is to start with one great trim color and then layer complementary neutrals from there!
