Light gold tones over pale yellow. It changes with the amount of sunlight. But it's a color I feel most comfortable and creative being around. (gold)
Then there is the sewing closet... all primer white.. I am hoping to get it done in a green.. very pale green.. buttery green... oh, shoot.... just make it gold , too!!
Robin egg blue with white furniture. I love it!
Suzette - I'm on my bed looking into my closet full of aqua's and light greens. At the same time the door to my porch/sewing room is open with its walls of light minty green and white trim / furniture with a few teal and purple accents. I just love being in that room - it must be because I feel so peaceful with that combination of colors. I so agree with Suzette. Check your closet and think of your fav clothes and paint your sewing room the same color. I think Nana Margaret's room is about the same colors as mine but in reverse. Ahhh - Doesn't color soothe your soul?
Yellow with white furniture. It's my sunshiny happy place.
My sewing area is in our bedroom so not very big. The color of the room is two soft greens. I love it.
Mine is very bright white. My room is in the basement with no natural light. DH put in lots of good overhead lights and tried to talk me out of white walls, but I said no, I need light. Well its light! Everybtime I flip the light it reminds me of that bright light that is the last thing you see before they put you out for surgery! Then my middle age eyes adjust and its all good. With your decision being lavender or yellow, I would choose a cheerful yellow.
My new sewing room is my son's former bedroom. It is mostly tan, but one wall has been painted in a desert camo pattern - my sister did it for him when we moved to this house when he was in 8th grade. It has his name and his dad's name and both grandpa's names hidden in it. I do plan to paint it, but it is gonna take a couple of coats of primer. If I am painting it, I might as well paint the other walls, right? I am thinking maybe a very pale yellow.
I so agree that your sewing room should be your happy place. The rest of my house is neutral period color walls, (except the bathroom) and although there is color and pattern there are no flowers anywhere. So in my sewing room I have white walls, black furniture, mid tone wood accents and flowery fabrics. Girly fabrics. It is truly the only girly room in the house. My hubby came in today and told me that I did a good job turning black into a feminine color. Apparently he thought the black cube cases I bought for storage were masculine looking. I didn't happen because of all the colorful fabrics and flowers I have in there.Quote:

White. Blah! But we lease from a business park so we can't paint. (We own a plumbing company and my studio is the plumbing company's extra office space)
Very soft yellow with white woodwork
