I have pale peach walls. Remember the book "Color Me Beautiful"? It said that peach works well for all skin tones, so I figure it will work well with all fabric tones, too.

yellow and light brown and ripped up wallpaper that was covering the yellow.....soon to be a very soft, very pale pink!! Oh, and the carpet is going to be ripped up to, so the floors will be hardwood...100 year old hardwood!

Mine are papered cream background with small flowers in blue, peach, pink , green. But if I were doing another room it would be a shade of purple.

My daughter painted my sewing room before I took it over. She painted the walls a creamy white and then sponged yellow over it. It makes for a good, bright room.
When life throws you scraps, make a quilt!
I'm taking over the garden room for sewing and the walls are ivory. My husband is going to paint his old desk and a merchant desk in a pale duck egg blue to keep my things in - mind you he's been promising this for a while now!![]()
Posted the same question a week or so ago....just worded a little differently. My room is currently what I call "builders beige", the color the builder painted the entire house when it was built. Drab, ugly and can be wiped off of the wall with a damp paper towel & just a little pressure.Anyway, I am torn between keeping it a neutral color with pops of color in the accent (curtains, wall décor etc) or painting it a color Carpet it beige (ick!) so an area rug will be in order. Hope you can make a choice quicker than I have.
When I recently moved into my new quilt room and was contemplating what color to paint the walls, my first thought was a creamy off white. But in the end, I chose a very soft sage green that I just love! I am so happy I went with a color. Green is very soothing and earthy and visually interesting. But to each his own! I would suggest staying away from trendy colors. Go with something tried and true that will soothe your soul and feed your creative side.![]()
Just another thought -- look in your closet and see what color pops out more than any other. That will tell you what color you gravitate too the most, the one that makes you feel good and happy. Choose a soft shade of that color to paint your quilt room.![]()

Quilting is my passion . . . chocolate is a close second!
My room is a very light dusty peach...white with just a hint of color. Pretty much every color seems to go with this shade.
Mine's a soft celery green. It almost seems like a soft white certain times of the day.

Mines a light sage green, but it will probably need to be painted next year so I'm thinking of a medium taupe color when that time comes.
