My parents are currently renovating their home, and, as a style editor for an interiors publication, perhaps I shouldn't have been so surprised when they asked for my opinion on paint colors for the living room walls. Holding up two swatches, my mother asked: should a living room be painted light or dark?
Oh, what a question. On the one hand, dark colors are deep, rich, and immediately set the tone for the space. But light colors? They're like a blank canvas, giving you free range with furnishings and other decor choices. So, how do you pick?
