Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of white or lite beige. I picked out a lettuce green originally but not wanting that now.

When you do over a room get 'white lite' bulbs for your liteing. I
just replaced my bulbs in the ceeling and table lamps. What a
difference it makes. Its like you are outside and its great for quilting
to be able to see better, makes the room look bigger and if you have design wall
you get a whole big picture. Rina

I redid my room and use paint we had I used a lite green.But now I am thinking of work to make more room in there some how I have shelves in there because this was at one time my kids play room so I need to clean out the games they or we don't need and put my fabric on it to get the plastic bins Happy

I remember that when he appeared on Simply Quilts, Kaffe Fassett said that he liked a camel color for his design wall, if this helps.

I choice a medium beige for the walls, white cabinets, and white countertops for the last 2 rooms I reworked. (yes I hated leaving the first one ). I have found that it is not too stark but still a neutral background. I found that the lighting had a bigger impact on color than the walls.

I guess most people would suggest white, but I often find it a little harsh. This is the sort of question that I would ask Gregory Case, because as a photographer of quilts he'll be very aware of how background colours, like walls, impact on the quilts.

Hi -

I am hoping someone can help me. I am getting ready to redecorate my sewing room. What color would you recommend to be neutral enough not to skew the colors of my quilts?

Thanks
Nikki
