I'd love to get some advice on paint colors. I would like to paint my den in "beachy" paint colors. The floor is a natural color bamboo and at this point there isn't any furniture or anything else to match/coordinate with (I know I'm doing this the wrong way but for timing reasons I need to). What paint colors (maybe 2 or 3 different colors for different walls/trim) would give a very "beachy"/tropical look? Thanks very much!

Greetings Pam,
My wife and myself have actually just chosen our paint colors for a beach themed room in our home, the exact colors we have chosen are as follows, all are Behr brand paints, colors and codes. The sheen we chose for each is personal preference of course!

Walls = Arizona 290D-4 Flat
Accent Wall = Aquatic Green 510D-6 Semi Gloss
Doors = Coral Confection 270C-3 Semi Gloss
Trim = Almond Cream W-B-710 High Gloss

Hope this helps a bit and best of luck on getting that den to be your very own beach retreat!

Mike

In order to set an image here follow these easy steps-->
1 - upload your picture to a free online photoalbum like Photobucket or Flickr , for example
