We have a cathedral ceiling. Looking for a neutral with some color. We will be changing carpet to match paint color. Pls. Share what you enjoy.

I like a calming blue green in muted shades with an antique white that isn't stark but calming to the eye. Spa colors. A light grey would be great for the carpet to be neutral and calming. I would do one or two of the walls in the color and the rest in the white, or paint the ceiling the color and the walls in the white to open up the ceiling even more. A colored ceiling with some color brought down on to the walls carries the eye up to make the space seem larger and airy feeling.
Don't forget about carpet tiles instead of wall to wall. Carpet tiles can mix the colors you like to create all kinds of different looks and be easily replaced when they get stains that can't be removed. I nice texture that is subtle would also be great!

The color I am leaning towards is Behr Almond Wisp. It is in the grey family. I was wondering if anyone could share the name of their color. My husband wants me to decide by Monday. I have samples painted all over my room. I am looking into low textured carpet.

We're in the market to purchase so know that we'll be doing lots of painting once we find a place. To that end, went to Lowe's and found the HGTV paint section, which has a number of great fold open, eye-candy paint color recommendations. They're not just single colors: they're matched up in 2s, 3s and so on. Grabbed them all, plus some singles. Have already selected some favorites. Highly recommend the HGTV "folders."

Interesting!...How do these work?...I'm wondering how carpet tiles would be placed on top of padding?
OP...There are so many shades of beautiful grays and it seems that grays have become a very popular neutral color for walls!...It is always exciting to do a complete room makeover!...Enjoy!

I also like Aqua Rapids for a darker version for an accent wall. On their website you can select the colors and see them in a room on the walls and ceilings. It is a cool way of looking at painting one wall or several or just the ceiling a color and the walls another. Try it out and see if you like it.

tigriss...Glad you saw my post tonight!...We will be replacing the carpet in our den area and your post about the carpet tiles caught my attention...I will have to check them out when I go to the carpet store...Do you have them in your home?...If they are easily replaceable, how are they attached to the floor?
