What color is your quilting/sewing room?

Great posts everyone! Well I just adore my lime green sewing room with white trim.... It is definitely my happy place and no matter how down I get, it always cheers me up... The sun shines in and makes it even brighter. Its funny eh how the colors we,love to wear are what we love in our sewing room. DH put up two Ikea white shelves and i bought a tall bookcase which look really nice against the green. I've thrown in bits of dark pink and orange too. Now just have to get some airy white curtains. To save the wood floors, I bought a low pile carpet from a discount store and it's perfect. Before, if I bent down to pick something up, the chair would whip behind me and here I'd be sitting on my massive butt on the floor! You only do that once! Hahaha!

SuzyQ - Airy white curtains on the racks at walmart and target - cheap. I used ribbon to tie them back when I didn't need some privacy -then realized the trees gave me all the privacy I needed even at night so I took them down. Now I use the airy white curtains on a tension rod under my sewing table to hide the clutter.

Builder egg shell white with one beige (LOL same color as Guttermann 829 thread) White sheers on the big window.

My sewing room is the same color as the rest of my house - apartment beige. I hate it.

Industrial cement gray. :lol: No, it was not my choice, my sewing room is in the basement and it will be the last area that will get any TLC in the decorating department. (We are slowly making our way through our home as it has been over 20 years since it had a makeover.)

But honestly, I do not find it depressing, every fabric I touch looks so crisp and cheerful down there. Plus my head is either staring at the sewing machine, or my mat where I am cutting stuff. :icon_rofl:

I would suggest staying away from trendy colors. Go with something tried and true that will soothe your soul and feed your creative side. :icon_happy:

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. :icon_happy:

Lol, if you look in my closet, there's a lot of black.....

Many thanks Lilly! Great idea for the curtains. Off to Walmart tomorrow, Target stores are just opening here in Ottawa but no doubt we won't get the same prices we enjoy when traveling to the US....

I have a lighter shade of tiffany blue painted in eggshell so it's got some shine. Then I have white furniture for the most part. Lots of blue/purple/green decorations.

My closet too. That is why I went with bright white walls and flowery fabrics. Everything goes with black and white right?
