Interior colors

[Billygoat]

Ok, so this question is a bit different than we normally see but wonder what the community thinks about it. When I did my interior years ago and did a light tan monochromatic color scheme. I did have minor accents of burgundy and green in the valances and some darker browns, see pictures below. What I was thinking was to introduce a muted mid tone green on the closet and bathroom. I’m concerned if doing this it will make the interior feel smaller. Just wanted to see what the crowd opinion would be?

Thanks,
Tom

Tan and other synonyms of beige seem to be the universal response to wild 1970s interior colors. I think a splash of color is great. Modern lighting can brighten a dark interior and we all have nice big windows.

Thanks Kendra, I was thinking the same so heck if it does change the feel inside, its only paint. Things can be changed pretty easily. Thanks for your input!

I'll chime in, since I've encountered a similar philosophical crisis recently.

I'm a fairly reserved person that would never be accused of being flamboyant (in the literal, non-connotative sense). I wear a lot of gray, and like to say my wardrobe is as colorful as my personality. I didn't live through the 70s, and have never grown an appreciation for that color palette. With the limited interior work I've done on the Glenbrook, I've introduced more grays to substitute some of the damaged blue stuff that has come out. This seemed like the appropriate millennial thing to do.

When I bought our Palm Beach, it ended up having a lot of beige, but with a bright accent color--something between teal and robin's egg blue (I'm no expert). My knee-jerk reaction was, "wow, that's way too loud for me".

I must say, I've really grown to like it. The wife has too. We've leaned into the theme, and have added more matching accents here and there, including some of the random objects stored within the coach. Other people really like it too, and we get positive comments on it all the time. So I say, give it a go!

Your interior currently looks really amazing. Calm, soothing, clean, tidy, well-crafted...but with maybe just a dash of dentist's waiting room vibe. It looks like a perfect canvas to start adding a little color to. An accent color might go really well with what you have already. It doesn't have to be a lot, and I don't think it'll really make it feel smaller.

Thank you for your comments. It does have a soothing affect and I hope to continue that. I can tell you that I saw a recent promotional video on Airstreams Frank Loyd Wright limited edition trailer. I’m a huge fan of his. I myself went to college for a architectural degree but changed direction and went to structural design career. I still love architecture and after seeing the Airstream video, it got me motivated to do some things.

Thank you, lol I had put those in for our fly fishing we did down in southern missouri. There is a great trout fishing park we went down to in the camper. Worked perfectly. The GMC was the perfect size to park along the river. One steadfast rule, no one in the coach with their waders. We would hang the waders on the ladder steps to dry out. We bungie them down when we drove from the river back to the camp ground.

A trick for home decor (with or without wheels) if the starting point is neutral: add color with inexpensive swappable components. Bright color towels, pillows and throw rugs. Easy to reverse, but I bet once you try those you'll want to do more.
