"Designing a luxury living space requires attention to every detail, from furniture and decor to lighting and color scheme. One of the most important factors in creating a luxurious and inviting living space is choosing the right paint colors. The color palette you choose can set the tone for the entire room, creating a sense of elegance, warmth, or drama. To help you make the perfect paint picks, we spoke to top designers in Alexandria for their expert recommendations."
"When it comes to luxury living, sometimes less is more. Neutral shades such as soft beiges, creamy whites, and warm greys can create a sophisticated and serene atmosphere. According to Alexandria-based designer Sarah Johnson, "Choosing neutral shades allows the furniture and decor to take center stage, while still creating a cohesive and elegant look." Johnson recommends Sherwin-Williams' "Amazing Gray" as a versatile choice for a luxury living space."
"If you want to add a touch of drama and personality to your luxury living space, consider incorporating a bold and vibrant color. Alexandria designer, Emily Clark, suggests using a deep jewel tone such as Benjamin Moore's "Hale Navy" for an accent wall or as a statement color for furniture. "The key is to balance the bold color with neutral hues to create a harmonious and striking visual effect," says Clark."
"For a timeless and elegant living space, classic hues are always a safe bet. Designer Alexandria Brown recommends using traditional shades such as Benjamin Moore's "White Dove" or "Revere Pewter" for a subtle yet luxurious touch. "These colors are versatile and can easily adapt to different styles and decor themes, making them a popular choice among luxury living spaces," says Brown."
"In addition to color, the finish of your paint can also make a significant impact on the overall look and feel of your living space. For a touch of glam and sophistication, designer Rachel Thompson suggests using metallic finishes such as Behr's "Silver Drop" or "Gold Buff." "These finishes can add depth and glamour to any space, instantly elevating the luxurious atmosphere," says Thompson."
