Soft, nature-inspired hues.
The host of W Network's Candice Tells All turns to the outdoors when choosing paint colours: "I use a lot of natural materials in my designs — wood, stone, linen — and therefore gravitate toward colours like those found in a stormy sky, misty cool waters, and others suited to those finishes," says Olson. "If it works in nature, it naturally works in your home." This bathroom is painted in one of her favourite warm neutrals, Benjamin Moore's Niveous (OC-36), which allows the antique wood vanity to stand out.
Dramatic black walls with a white ceiling.
The Toronto designer decided this staircase had enough natural light for one of her favourite hues, Farrow & Ball's Pitch Black (256). Braemer painted the ceiling in Benjamin Moore's Oxford White (CC-30) to brighten the space and draw the eye upward.
Fresh yet muted shades.
"When selecting paint colours, I don't follow trends," insists Mitchell. "I gravitate towards shades of paint that have subtler hues and softer tones. The more neutral the paint, the more timeless the space. The colours and finishes I choose are usually inspired by the room's architectural details, the amount of natural light the room has and the direction the room faces." This beadboard wainscotting called for a blue with a bit of country, so Mitchell chose Benjamin Moore's Normandy (2129-40) and paired it with bright Ultra White (CC-10) walls. The result is fresh and clean, perfect for a bathroom.
Egg-inspired tones.
The Toronto artisan and designer thought this grouping of eggs from The R.O.M. was perfect for Easter, and also illustrates her love of soft neutrals. She came across this room from designer Robert Kristiansen's summer home outside of Oslo on Design*Sponge. It's mostly white, but has flecks of the brown and blue hues she's drawn to. Consider painting walls in Benjamin Moore's Moonlight White (OC-125) with accents of Mount Saint Anne (CC-710) to achieve this simple Scandinavian look.
