A Limoncello Accent Wall

Recently, I decided to re-paint our family room. It used to be a light beige with red undertones…a nice color, but it didn’t go with the overall feel of the home that I was going for. So, I painted over the beige with a medium gray color. I love it, but there was one problem. The red accent wall in my dining nook (which is right next to the family room) was no longer adding a “pop” of color. The undertones in the gray and red were too similar and the red was just looking “blah” to me. After living with the colors for a few days, I knew something had to change.

Seeing as yellow is one of my current color obsessions, I started searching for the perfect yellow paint color. After quite some time comparing yellows to the gray in our family room and a few of the accent colors and fabrics I want to bring into the spaces, I found the perfect yellow!

It’s call Limoncello. Mmm…it just sounds yummy doesn’t it? Limoncello is an Allen + Roth color for Lowes. I am amazed at how well Limoncello matches my gray family room, yet provides the perfect pop of color to the whole back of the house. And while the yellow may seem out of place, it really ties everything in perfectly. I am working on bringing yellow into our family room with fabrics and a few accent pieces, and there is some yellow in my kitchen {brought in through the “When Life Gives You Lemons” sign above my pantry doors.

I think you’ll agree that Limoncello brings incredible life to this space!
