A soft, feminine wall colour.
“Fresh crisp whites are perfect in any type of season — particularly summertime — however I’m excited to paint my daughter’s space in Farrow & Ball’s Calamine (230) later this month,” states senior style editor Morgan Michener. “I like this muddy pastel pink, as well as am believing about pairing it with grey trim, perhaps Down pipe (26).”

A barely-blue hue for a bit of colour.

A sunny hue for furniture.
“Last summertime I painted the headboard at my cottage Lullaby Yellow (2J1-6) by Beauti-Tone,” notes senior style editor Margot Austin. “I got a kick out of the name as a option for a headboard. however it’s not a restful colour by a long shot! It’s pure happiness as well as sunshine — just what you want at a cottage.”

A strong hue for an accent wall.
“With all the fresh berries come summer, why not paint an accent wall in Benjamin Moore’s Crushed Berries (2076–30)?” asks Housenadhome.com’s partner editor Gwen McAuley. “It reminds me of lipstick, sorbet, freezies as well as a bowl full of raspberries on the dock. It’s fun as well as punchy, as well as would liven up any type of room.”
