The Job
We used one light gray with white trim on the main floor and carried it down the stairs.
The finished basement got the same color, so it feels like part of the house instead of a separate floor. Plenty of houses stop at the top of the basement stairs. This one didn’t.
What We Did
- Walls on both levels
- Ceilings on both levels
- Trim
The Main Floor
Light gray walls and white trim, with the hardwood floor warming it up. Gray can feel cold in a smaller house, and the wood keeps that from happening here.
The Bedrooms
Same gray in the bedrooms, and white doors and baseboards. It’s an easy color to live with and it goes with whatever furniture you bring in.
The Basement Stairs
We carried the gray down the stairs with no change in color, which is what connects the two floors. The stair wall is tall and awkward to reach, and it’s the first thing you see on the way down.
The Finished Basement
Same light gray as upstairs. A light color helps a lot down here, since small basement windows don’t bring in much light. The long, low room looks bigger with one color on everything.
The Bathrooms
The bathrooms went the same gray above the tile and around the mirrors.
