Are there any good examples of brightly painted rooms?
Everyone seems to prefer beiges, whites and pastels. There has to be a way to incorporate bright walls successfully.

Otrada LLC Sure. You'll just need to balance the bold wall color with more sedate upholstery fabric, art, and accessories. Not every item can be the focal point. What color are you thinking of trying?

Cabell Design Studio Hello Danny,

At Cabell Design Studio we are all about color! Introducing a lovely Benjamin Moore color to a client tomorrow called Turmeric (and it looks like turmeric!) and on Friday another Benjamin Moore color called Ballet Slippers. Obviously pink :) Bright walls can be incorporated successfully in most installations, either as a focal wall or as the entire color... Here is a sampling of the rainbow, ROYGBIV compliments of the Houzz community.... Enjoy!

Open Family Room & Breakfast Area in Bold Colors

And check out those dining room chairs! Fabulous!
Dining Room in Sonoma Home

Dytecture The key to using bright colors is the other items that go into that room, making sure they don't clash.
