Making paint color decisions for your home seems easier than it is and creating a neutral color scheme that works in every space is something we tend to dwell on and waste a lot of time trying to figure out.
Featuring gentle layers of taupes, brass, blues and blacks, this new home’s color palette is one that will motivate you on your next project. Adding organic elements like reclaimed wood, rough-cut stone, tumbled tile and polished metals, create a home that feels both elevated and inviting.
I hope this new home tour by James May Homes (I know you guys love her work!) inspires you, especially if you are looking for paint color ideas for walls and cabinets. The designer shared all details below. Enjoy and get ready to stop by a paint store soon! 🙂

I love neutral warm interiors and there isn’t a hue that delivers it better than taupe. There was a time when taupe paint colors, (brown, tan, and beige) were found in older homes and they felt quite outdated and dark. The new take on taupe is trendy and warm, just like the kitchen we see in this home.
