I recently painted the walls "Lazy Gray" by Sherwin Williams. I love the color but it turned out to have a bluish tint to it. My colors in the room are black, burgandy, white and grey. What kind of light bulbs should I use to bring out more of the grey tone in the color? I want to avoid repainting if at all possible. :) Any advice? Emily Hello,

I am having a problem with the lighting in one of my guest rooms. I recently painted the walls “Lazy Gray” by Sherwin Williams. I love the color but it turned out to have a bluish tint to it.

Any advice?

I'd love to help with your decorating dilemma. Do you have photos of the room in question? If you do please send them to thedecoratingdiva@thedecoratingdiva.com. One other thing - does this room get a lot of natural light or is it darker with little light filtering in? Once I receive them I can help you narrow down the perfect wall paint color to give your room a modern contemporary design feel. Hi Cathy,

The wool tufts have a grain or lean one direction because of the way they are knotted. Looking from one end means your looking more into the pile while looking from the other end means your looking more at the sides of the tufts.
