How do I get the paint guide. Ironside is my favorite color by Dutch Boy

[@thekirksiffs5285]

thank-you for this. It was really informational. Would you be able to tell me your opinion on SW Alabaster vs Benjamin Moore Alabaster? I am drawn to Benjamin Moore. I've had people tell me they are the same, but I really don't think they are.

How do I get the Paint Guide?

[@rebertarhiddlehoover7844]

[@ginn2363]

⁠@@thekirksiffs5285Benjamin Moore paints are premium paints in the paint world. I was professionally involved in the paint world for over twenty years. Sherwin Williams is a very decent paint also and at about the same price point as Benjamin Moore. They have a great selection of colors. As does Behr. Behr has come a long way but,not quite at the level of the fore mentioned.The finishes are a little less varied, meaning they do not offer the levels of “ textures” that the previously mentioned paints offer.Still a decent paint if you are trying to save money on a large project. Dutch Boy and Glidden are the lower level products in comparison. If you like a color from one of these brands and can afford it, Benjamin Moore does a great job color matching from other brand.Hope that helps! Good luck with your projects!

[@NBportofino]

And I replaced all of our white builder grade doors with solid wood and painted them all dark charcoal. Love it!

[@ashleychilders]

One of the BEST upgrades you can make in my opinion! Solid wood doors are worth every penny!

[@rosieroberts6738]

The MINDFUL MODERN category is my absolute favorite!!! Lots of WARM, RELAXING & COZY colors!!! Thank you for sharing!!!😊😃😁🤍

[@ashleychilders]

I love that one too!!! Such welcoming and comforting colors! Thanks for watching 🤎

[@Clauds71]

I love it too 😄

[@katethegardener]

I have to say first off I LOVE your sofa and the colour. I am not into the dark or dramatic paint colours, I want my home to feel light, open and airy. But I do love the dramatic colours for my front door.

[@nadinedupre8069]

Mindful Modern is my favorite but all of the other categories have beautiful colors in them as well. Thank you for sharing!

[@ashleychilders]

I love that one as well! Thanks so much for watching!

[@camuchanomellini903]

Wow!!! Ashley you are so generous to share all this information on paint colors. This is pure gold THANK YOU!!!❤❤❤

[@ashleychilders]

Yay!! I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@creations13655]

Mindful Modern is my favorite 2024 paint trend. I had already chosen Greek Villa as the main paint color throughout the house and after watching this video, I have decided to go with Felted Wool in my bedroom and natural linen in the en suite bathroom.

[@LisaSmith-yy9bz]

Blue Hues is my favorite and I love all three of those colors. My husband and I are about to repaint and refloor our house and I have looked and these three colors a kazillion times. Blue Nova is just gorgeous!

Whoohoo! I was looking forward to thoughts, I'm so glad you're touching on paint color this week.

[@ashleychilders]

I LOVE all the beautiful colors from this year’s video! Paint is such a wonderful way to make an instant impact on your home. Thanks so much for watching ❤️❤️

[@MarinaJ0708]

These videos never show homes owned by the average person. The majority of people own simpler homes. Not everyone is wealthy. Help everyone not just the wealthy.

[@dmweisbr]

I like the challenge of looking at the more expensive designs and then figuring out how to get the look and feel while spending less. For me, these photos are inspirational. If all we had to look at were “average” homes, I’m afraid we’d all just end up with…well…average homes, lol.

[@annebrody2371]

Use the examples as an inspiration. For whatever you live with. Go for it! It’s only paint. 😊

[@SometimesMyself]

Color is color. You can evoke the same feeling, no matter the home!

[@danapassero2232]

My front room is small, and dark colors just make it look like a cave. I need something light and bright!!! My home is nothing like those you are showing.

[@myrahouse2368]

Go find a video to suit then….no one is forcing you to watch.

[@feathermtn1490]

Wow --- What a wonderful and well-though out array of colors and tips for making a good selection. Thanks to good algorithms, I came across your channel at the perfect time!! You have removed the tedious process of going through endless paint chips and brochures. 💖

[@meredithhosseini2337]

I would love to get tips on how to approach paint for the whole house using your color guides in a future video

[@ashleychilders]

I love this idea! I'll take note of this ❤

[@louisefromNY]

Another fabulous video. I cannot say enough about the BLUE tones. I quickly jotted down the name of the Benjamin Moore Blue Nova paint color. 😊

[@ashleychilders]

Thanks you so much for watching!! I love Blue Nova, it's gorgeous!

[@ps4402]

I like the blue hues best, mostly for the bedroom. The main color we plan to use for the living areas is BM Mascarpone.

[@ashleychilders]

Blue Hues is great!! Oooo I love that color ❤

[@jayluvonde9551]

Welcoming Warmth Radiant Reds and Mindful Modern are my favourites! I'm from Australia so we don't have Benjamin Moore or other paint colours from North America but out equivalents are Porter's Paints, Dulux and British Paints.

[@ashleychilders]

I love all those as well!! And gosh I sure do with there was an amazing global paint brand we could all use, lol, it would make thinks so much easier! Thanks for watching!! ❤️

[@johnpresley6342]

I love the colors. Thanks for taking the time to share your 2024 colors.

[@rooted.seaside]

Idk how I just now found your page, but I'm soooo thankful!! Mindful Modern spoke to my soul! I'm ready to paint every room in my place ❤

[@ashleychilders]

I’m so happy you found us!!! I love Mindful Modern too! So serene and calming 🤍🤍

[@loribarton7480]

Hi. I’m planning on bringing Cracked Pepper into my home this year. Thanks for sharing those.

[@ashleychilders]

Love that! It is such a great color ❤

[@JoanneJaworski]

I, for one, am thrilled to see the gray and brown trend GO!!! Never liked either because they felt cold and uninviting. I could never put those colors in my home. Warm and welcoming is so much more appealing and friendly for me!

[@LilyBecca]

I love the Regent Green. I am definitely going to get this color for my furniture flipping

[@ashleychilders]

Such a beautiful color!!

[@merelbakker9235]

Thank you so much for this video! Question: how do you use the paint palette? Can you use multiple colors from the palette to paint the walls? And if so, how many different colors do you advise?

[@dianagonzalez7221]

Great ideas for painting a different color of any room or a wall. Love the light green.

[@julieroberts4636]

Love the Dark and Dashing!

[@nwoweikupamer]

Absolutely adore your curated palate !

[@ashleychilders]

Yay!!! Thank you! 🥰❤️

[@lightworks3172]

Ashley, your videos are always on time for me! I just finished my mood board for my kitchen remodel which will be a slow process since so much work is required. But I’ve been looking for a cabinet color that’s close to the photo I included in my board. Is it railings by f&b? It’s more like cracked pepper cabinets with limitless glidden on the walls. Also, the photos in your videos always make my audibly gasp. That photo at :46 😱

[@ashleychilders]

Thank you so much!! I love Railings and Cracked Pepper! Railings has more of a blue undertone, so I’m thinking the soft black of Cracked Pepper would look fab with Limitless 🖤 good luck with the kitchen remodel, I’m sure it will be a fun and rewarding journey!

[@firestick4991]

I just did my lower kitchen cabinets Behr’s Carbon in high gloss! Cracked Pepper was on my radar in 2022. That is when I bought a can in matte. Still deciding what to paint it with. It’s always cold here. My paintings window is small. Like, just a few weeks out of the year, small.

[@cynthiaerdman6927]

Dark and Dashing and Mindful Modern speak to me. Favorites in the groupings are Rainy Afternoon, Dragon’s Breath, Canvas Tan, and Antler Velvet.

[@ashleychilders]

All such great colors!

[@nataliegwiegmann5007]

Like the mindful modern set of colors 😊

[@Kerry6691]

Love the blue hues. I painted my entire basement in balboa mist in 2018.

[@joyb7839]

Very enjoyable video. On the Mindful Modern page that you showed, one color is labeled SW Fireweed, but it's mossy gray looking. Fireweed on the Radiant Reds page is a deep redwood color (not green/gray). If the Mindful Modern Dark and Dashing color has a different name, could you let me know what it is called. It looks almost like BM Pasmina but Pashmina is warmer. I would like to use the color but I suspect it was mislabeled. Much thanks!

[@girlygirl0053]

I painted my home with several of these colors❤ thanks for all the suggestions!

[@ashleychilders]

I love hearing that!! Thanks for watching! 🤎🤎

[@debholtz54]

👍absolutely love all these colors. It’s certainly my palette of colors.

[@giaw7867]

Hi Ashley - another amazing video, very helpful and informative and visually gorgeous - I really enjoy your content. Can I ask a question on another topic - and maybe this could be a video topic idea for you too? I don't think I've ever seen another designer do a video on this, especially any recent ones. I have 3 teen daughters, 2 dogs and a cat - and a husband lol. We are going to be needing to buy another couch soon because the ones we purchased for our living room look really worn out already - even though we only bought them only 3 years ago next month. We didn't purchase a very high end brand - we went with one at rooms to go that was really nice though - but I feel like it should've lasted longer than this even with a busy family. 2 of my girls are always on the go and rarely use the couches - Do you have recommendations on how to find a high quality, durable couch, with high quality fabric, strong stuffing that will hold its shape and look for more than 3 years? Do I need to go with something commercial grade? Special fabricS I should be looking for? I'm willing to spend (a bit) more to get something that will be an investment for long term, but I definitely don't have an unlimited budget. at this point that the couches embarrass me. I keep them vacuumed and have spot treated, but even the pillows look sad and misshapen and don't stay in place well. I did get the kind of couch that has 3 separate pillows as seats and 3 separate pillows as backs - and 2/2 for the loveseat ...... was that my first mistake? Please help!

[@ashleychilders]

Oh this is SUCH a good question and honestly something that so many homeowners struggle with! First, I would recommend that you get a sinuous spring construction and hardwood frame. It's not as expensive as an 8-way hand tied construction, but will hold up for years. Secondly, and SOOOO important is the cushion construction. You want to make sure that you go with cushions that have either innersprings coils, wrapped in foam and a top feather layer (if you like soft,) or high density foam core wrapped in a quilted foam/feather layer. And the back cushions need to follow suit as well with a wrapped high density foam core. As for the cushion layout. I usually opt for a bench cushion or a two over two layout (two seat cushions and two top cushions). Three over three tend to get a bit disheveled. Lastly... Pick a sofa that comes in a Crypton fabric, it's a game changer!! It's basically indestructible and there are tons of beautiful options! Okay, one final tip. I highly recommend opting for a flat or saddle stitch on the cushions instead of a welt. Welts on seat cushions have a tendency to migrate and start to sag over time with a lot of use, and it's super noticeable with a welt, so opting for a stitched seam will mitigate the problem! Good Luck!!

This was incredibly helpful and I offer a heartfelt thank you for going above and beyond in your response. We will take your advice on our next purchase so we aren't wasting money.

[@TrudieTiger70]

Love all of these. Love that sofa you are sitting on.

[@dhrtiwalter8670]

I’m wondering if your welcoming and warmth color palette would be a good choice for anyone who is sometimes depressed occasionally for up to two months (try winter)? The palette overall may be too colorful for me. The palettes are all so wonderful, I’m not sure yet which is my favorite. Missing a green palette as I’m drawn to green and blue. I’ve recently painted using warm neutral colors from Benjamin Moore. Still have my main open living area left to paint.

[@angelbulldog4934]

Anything but grey...everybody in the world has grey, so I'm happy to see some other colors. I did grey in December '88 and was beyond sick of it by spring of '89. We're all different, and that's a good thing, but I have my own style and don't care about trends. I'm a warm color kind of woman. Whatever the color, it will be Sherwin-Williams. I've tried more and less expensive but didn't get the results I did with S-W. Thanks for a lovely video. 😊

[@victoriachanel2493]

If you were advising a client on a paint color to choose for the whole house, because it will be sold in a few years, what color would you choose?❤ Thanks in advance!

[@dionabrzezinski3618]

I painted my kitchen sand trap and love it with my dark cabinets 🙏

I just gutted and remodeled a white/blue accent bath and am trying to pick a flow color into the master BDR. This has bee VERY difficult but your 2024 color review is helpful!

[@stacyhamilton1421]

I painted my kitchen cabinets Nantucket blue and all the interior doors the same color. I also recently painted all my walls white.

[@ruthpreast9858]

Absolutely love your designs and have so enjoyed your channel. Would you mind me asking the paint colors for the exterior of your home? I’m on the hunt for a warm white color to paint my brick and a blue gray for the shutters. The exterior of your home is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

[@ashleychilders]

Oh how I wish I could!!! It's a custom color that I had our painters create for me after trying about 40 other off the shelf colors... it was a PROCESS, lol! I've had hundreds of people ask me the color over the years, and I wish I could give you a name, but it was just a mix and match situation! We matched our shutter stain to our windows which are Windsor I believe!

After flipping 3 houses with my husband I know how painstaking it is to paint trim. I will NEVER paint my trim dark to match dark walls! Only a matter of a year before it changes again

[@catherinenelson4679]

Thank you for sharing all these 2024 color trends. I was leaning towards shoji white over alabaster as main open concept color, but not sure if your blue hues color palette will coordinate

[@hiddenhighland]

I am not as familiar with the brands you shared but they are lovely. I use Farrow & Ball paints. Currently painting Inchyra Blue (I have a mad fondness for this colour since painting it on my dining room wall in 2019- but since moved and in process of re-do in my current home) and the palette of blues to follow (Our library will be Oval Room blue- my daughter's bedroom DeNimes). I favour also the greens which I am also incorporating (my son's room in Card Room Green with some Studio Green elelments).

[@ashleychilders]

I love Farrow & Ball!! Unfortunately it's not as readily available in our area, but their colors and depth are absolutely stunning!! The colors you're planning to use in your various rooms sound gorgeous! Good luck with the project!

I like the Welcoming Warmth and Blue Hues the best and plan to incorporate Stardew (study and master with picture-frame molding) and Cafe Mocha (guest) and Felted Wool (powder room lower board and batten with sage and blue gray floral wall paper above it) in a Modern Cottage vibe in our new build we will be designing soon. I have to decide whether to just have the builder do that no-cost flat white paint and then have painters come in before we more in or pick a level 2 or 3 color whole house color that might be O.K. with some of those paint colors for accent rooms such as the study, powder room and guest room that we could do later. Any thoughts as to a whole-house color for Modern Cottage design?
