Modern and Versatile Paint Trends

Picking the perfect paint color for your living room means selecting a color that is adaptable, timeless, and displays your style and personality. Living rooms are often the heart of the home; they tend to connect the house to multiple rooms. While there are many variations of colors to choose from, picking a versatile color is always a great decision because it gives you more flexibility in selecting colors for the connecting rooms. Try applying neutrals and calm grounding tones in your living room for a modern, versatile look. Here are some tips on playing with neutral tones in your living room.

Try A Warm Neutral

Shades of neutral white, beige, and ivory are timeless colors that seamlessly connect your more dramatic shades in adjoining rooms. Neutral colors allow for easy changes in your living room design, like tossing in your favorite accent pieces and changing art and decor as frequently as you like without worrying about the colors clashing. Show off your favorite fabrics and textures, and colors by going bold with furniture and accent decor.

Use a versatile collection of warm neutrals. You’ll love the softness they bring to both formal and casual rooms.
We recommend trying Sherwin-Williams’ Accessible Beige and Shoji White. These colors soften your space and make it look timeless but still cozy. Warm neutrals are much softer and more forgiving than their cool-tone neutral counterparts.

Calming Gray

If you are a homeowner looking for a rich color that doesn’t overwhelm your living room area, gray neutral is a perfect choice. Grays with a stronger undertone of color, such as blue or green, create a nice balance for those who want a bit more individuality in their design choices.

Our favorite, Comfort Gray by Sherwin-Williams, is a soothing color with the softest touch of green. Comfort Gray is a perfect way to introduce bolder colors into your home without feeling too overwhelming. You can accent your room with whites, blues, and green fabrics paired with warm wood and gold accents, or try woven textiles with dark wood flooring, creamy accent pieces, and lots of greenery.

This is my second time using Pro 1 Painters. So, yes, they are good. This is the second room I've had the popcorn ceiling scraped and painted and walls painted. There is no way around it, scraping a popcorn ceiling is a messy job but they kept it contained. This time my first contact was with Marissa, the production coordinator. She was very... pleasant. helpful, and professional. Her voice sounds like a smile. Seab came out to see what needed to be done. He was very friendly and professional. He did all the measurements and listened to what I had in mind and made suggestions where necessary. He got the estimate to me promptly. Jaime and Ruben scraped the ceiling and painted. They are real pros. I can't believe how smooth they got the ceiling. It's beautiful. This is an old Fairhope house, so after the ceiling dried, even though they had done two coats, yellow came through in some places. So I called Marissa and in a matter of a few days, Jaime and Ruben came back and painted it with Kilz and repainted. Jaime and Ruben were great .... good at their job, worked hard, very pleasant, no swearing and no smoking.I thought the price was very reasonable, not cheap, but for what I got very reasonable. It's the old adage, you get what you pay for.In a few months I hope to tackle more rooms and I'll be calling Pro 1 Painters.Judith Robertsread more

Pro 1 Painters did an excellent job on doing interior and exterior painting on the Fort Morgan beach house. I had the exterior trim and interior touch up along with having the porch floors finished with a coating. Pro 1 was able to adjust their schedule to our needs since we also had a couple of exterior doors replaced and the recent storms we... had put my schedule for repairs behind in getting the doors hung. Pro 1 was able to return and finish up painting the doors once they were hung.My only complaints were a cut in the screen enclosing the back porch. Probably cut when the crew was finishing the back porch floor. Easily repaired but it was left unfixed. There also were some splatter marks on the exterior which was minor but touch up could have been done. I recently had the landscaping renewed and the crew did not take any due care to protect the landscaping.Overall, a happy customer and the complaints are easily taken care of. I do endorse Pro 1 Painters for your next painting project.read more

Ours was a particularly hard job, 1000 sf great room with 20' ceiling, lots of trim, doors, windows, etc; and lots of issues, like sheetrock cracks, backed out nail heads, etc. The Pro1 crew tackled the job like champs, keeping the mess to minimum, using the best paint products, making great sheetrock repairs, and applying the paint in crisp lines... with little to no slosh over. We are very pleased with the final job and the Pro1 personnel, especially Jamie, the job manager, and his crews. All the Pro1 staff (beginning/end) acted in a professional and courteous manor. We would be pleased recommend Pro1 to anyone.read more

Had my popcorn removed. The team was promptly on time everyday. They were very respectful to my 77 year old mother which was appreciated. The finished job on the ceilings look like they were smooth finished when built. Mess was a minimum and they cleaned up daily. I would absolutely recommend this team for your project. I will use them for... interior painting next.read more
