| Latrice, Good morning! And I say that because I sat up too late doing these collages and I'm just now drinking my morning coffee lol! That wasn't wallpaper in the first pic - it's actually a rug, the Alhambra from Ballard Designs. The paint color (I think) is S-W Moody Blue. The pillows: bird one is a vendor on etsy - I could get more info on that if you decide to pursue it. The other two pillows are tonicliving.com. They have a great selection of up-to-the-minute patterns and colors, and sell the cover, which zips off for washing,mas well as foam inserts. I recommend using down-filled inserts which you can buy at Pottery Barn in the same sizes as the Tonic Living ones. They are way more comfortable than foam inserts - you can really sink into them. You can also get the down inserts in the 20" size only at Ikea, and theirs are comfy too. Once you try down, you'll never go back! As I did all these mock-ups, it reminded me that my own decorating approach, as well as advice I've read over and over again in design magazines, suggests starting with a neutral base that can be changed easily. This first one that you love (and I love it too!) won't be quite as flexible because you would always be working around the rug pattern. If you think you would want more flexibility than that, I recommend the neutral rug with the diamond pattern you picked out, which I showed in a couple of the collages. For curtains, you won't go wrong with Pottery Barn dupioni silk panels in the blue-green I showed in a couple of the pics. Same for back painting the built-ins - either this Moody Blue or the color I showed in a couple of them that is two shades darker than your Sea Salt color. I believe it was suggested in the post above also. It's guaranteed to be harmonious. With this neutral envelope, you could use warm reds in the winter - the killim pillows, for example - and go to teals and darker blue pillows come spring, and finally light blue-greens in the summer. You can switch out some of your knick knacks - even your artwork, if you want - and change your look often, and also satisfy the wide range of colors and patterns that appeal to you. If you find other rugs or curtains or whatever, I'd be happy to do the collage again!  Show

What Color is Sea Salt?Sea Salt (SW) is a beautiful, soft blue green paint color with gray undertones. It is reminiscent of beautiful blue, green ocean waters. The color of the muted water mixed with cool gray undertones with a hint of warmth from sand and sun is a picture that’s not awfully far off from the paint color Sherwin Williams Sea Salt. Not only is this paint color absolutely gorgeous, but it happens to be one of the most popular paint colors for a home. This is one of the blue-green paint colors that always makes me stop mid-scroll and re-examine a room. Working beautifully with whites and grays and navy blue, Sea Salt brings a welcome pop of calming color to any space. Sherwin Williams Sea Salt UndertonesSherwin Williams Sea Salt is predominantly green color with blue and gray undertones. Like many other colors, Sea Salt is a chameleon color, which means it will look different in each room and lighting setting as different undertones are shown. For example, the green hue is highlighted when Sea Salt is in a room with warm bulbs. However, in a room with diffused, filtered light, the color can appear more green/blue or even blue-ish. When Sea Salt is in a brightly lit room, the color becomes washed out. This isn’t necessarily bad, but it means the color becomes very light and subtle, which is important to know if you are shooting for a bold, moody hue. Of course, once the lights are switched off or the sun sets, the color changes. Isn’t paint fun? Yes!! For this reason, I always recommend trying a sample in your home before painting the whole room! I like to paint a poster board or two with the sample color, then hang it on different walls through the room at different times of the day to see how the light plays with the color. Or utilize a large paint swatch to make sure you love the color in your home! Order a peel & stick sample of Sea Salt. A word to the wise: do not get the Sherwin Williams Sea Salt paint color mixed up with the Benjamin Moore Sea Salt color. They are very different and you’ll be disappointed if you have your heart set on one and end up with a few cans of the other. LRV of Sea Salt by Sherwin WilliamsLight reflectance value (LRV) is the amount of visible light a paint color either reflects or absorbs.

And on the paint color strip, it is followed by a slightly darker shade called Comfort Gray. Then followed by the colors Oyster Bay, Acacia Haze, Retreat, Pewter Green and Ripe Olive. Many of these gorgeous green colors are popular home paint colors! Is It a Warm or Cool Color?Sea Salt is definitely a cool color with some warmth in its undertones. As a cool color, it will make a room feel calm, bright and spacious, so it works well for almost any room where you want to relax.

SW Sea Salt in KitchensThe kitchen is always my favorite spot to start. I LOVE Sea Salt in a kitchen—so much so that it’s the shade I chose for my previous kitchen after a long debate of which color to choose. Plus, this is a great example of the different shades Sea Salt can give off in different lighting. In my kitchen, the color looks blue-gray as you can see below. However, in my eat-in kitchen, the Sea Salt looks decidedly more green on the wall on the right and a light gray color on the left. It just depends on the time of day. I love how Sea Salt turned out in the kitchen M Is For Mama put together. It adds the perfect shade of neutral blue-green to her space. The cabinets, by the way, are Sherwin Williams Dover Gray – they look fantastic together! Sherwin Williams Sea Salt in BathroomsSea Salt was practically made to be shown off in the bathroom.

Sea Salt on the CeilingMy back porch got a refresh with Simply White trim and Sea Salt on the ceiling. It’s called a haint blue porch ceiling here in the South. It’s such a soft color that it’s hard to detect on the outside of the house, but it’s the perfect amount of soft blue-green without overwhelming the space! What Trim Color Works Best with Sea Salt?You can use either a true white color like Pure White, or an off-white color like Simply White. Both would pair really well with Sea Salt.
