When building our current home, creating a space that felt like us and reflected our personalities was something we were very passionate about. We wanted to choose neutral paint colors that would pair well with a variety of furniture styles and accent colors, making it easy for us to change decor without worrying about clashing with the walls.
After a few paint swatches and careful consideration, we settled on a timeless combination we know we will love for years to come! Our walls now feature Accessible Beige, lightened by 50%, while the trim is painted with one of our favorite neutrals, Alabaster.
Why Accessible Beige?
We decided to paint all the walls in our home with Accessible Beige lightened by 50% to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. It is such a beautiful neutral that makes the spaces in our home feel cozy and open. We painted the walls in our last home accessible beige, but this time we knew we wanted something lighter so we decided to lighten it 50%. Lightening it helped add a touch of brightness without sacrificing the warm of the color that we loved. We feel like we struck the perfect balance – not too dark, not too light. It’s just right!
Alabaster Trim – A Touch of Elegance
To complement our wall color, we chose Sherwin Williams’ Alabaster for the trim. Alabaster with its warm undertones and subtle creamy hue, brings a timeless and versatile quality to our home. It compliments the accessible beige beautifully and its addition makes each room feel extra spacious, bright and inviting.
Consistency is Key
One decision that simplified the entire painting process for us was choosing to paint all our walls the same color. This not only made the painting process easier, but it also created a cohesive flow throughout the entire house. We may choose to add other paint colors to our home at a later date, but for now this is the perfect clean slate that will allow us to discover our decorative style before committing to any colorful or bold paint choices.Consistency is Key One decision that simplified the entire painting process for us was choosing to paint all our walls the same color.

Final Thoughts
In the end, the decision to paint our walls Accessible Beige lightened 50% and our trim Alabaster was a choice we haven’t regretted. The timeless, neutral color palette allows our personal style to shine while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout our living spaces. These color choices have truly brought our vision to life and we’re counting down the days until we can officially move in and start making this house a home.
