Choosing the best interior paint colors for your home can be a daunting task. As an interior designer, I’ve experimented with numerous shades to create the ideal ambiance in our living spaces. In this updated guide, I’ll share our top paint color choices that have stood the test of time and continue to impress in 2024.
Timeless Neutrals for Versatile Spaces
Primary Bathroom Update
I recently redesigned the toilet room in our primary bathroom using a new wall finish technique called Roman Clay by Portola Paints. This innovative finish adds a unique texture and warmth to the space, creating a serene atmosphere.
Wall Color: Roman Clay – Poe
For the walls, I selected Roman Clay in the color Poe, which beautifully complements the overall design and enhances the room’s tranquility.
Fluted Paneling Detail
To add an elegant touch, I paired the Roman Clay with fluted paneling from Walston Architectural Products in a stunning 2″ Walnut finish. This combination of textures and colors elevates the aesthetic of the toilet room.

Choosing the Right Paint Finish
The paint finish can significantly impact the overall look and durability of your walls. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:
| Finish | Best For | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Flat | Bedrooms, Low-traffic areas | Non-reflective, hides imperfections |
| Eggshell | Living rooms, Hallways | Slight sheen, easy to clean |
| Semi-gloss | Kitchens, Bathrooms | Moisture-resistant, highly durable |
Tips for Successful Paint Application
- Always use high-quality paint for better coverage and longevity. I suggest Cashmere by Sherwin Williams.
- Test paint samples on your walls before committing to a full room. I tell my clients to review the samples at 3 different times of the day & in multiple areas of each room.
- Invest in good painting tools, including brushes and rollers, for a professional finish.
By carefully selecting paint colors and finishes that complement your home’s style and lighting, you can create a cohesive and inviting interior design. Remember, the right paint choices can transform your living spaces and enhance your daily life.
