Joanna Gaines Swears By These 12 Stunning Paint Colors

Researching paint colors and schemes can be an overwhelming task, involving delving into the intricacies of cool and warm undertones, a process that can quickly become daunting. To simplify this, the expertise of Joanna Gaines, co-founder of Magnolia, offers a practical shortcut. With experience renovating over 100 homes, including notable projects like a castle, a restaurant, and a hotel, Gaines has established herself as a proficient authority in paint selection. Her curated paint collection reflects a diverse spectrum of colors, ranging from light and bright to rich and moody, ensuring a suitable option for various aesthetic preferences. The recent TV series, 'Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse,' further showcases her paint choices, with a particular emphasis on earth tones. Gaines explains that her color selections for 'The Lakehouse,' situated against Lake Waco and designed in a mid-century style, were intended to complement the setting and honor the property's original character. She describes these nature-forward hues as fresh yet familiar, and both bold and comforting. The article highlights twelve specific paint color schemes and palettes Gaines employs to achieve her signature stunning room designs. One featured scheme combines beige, brown, and green. In a living room from 'Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse,' Gaines uses a warm beige on walls, ceilings, and beams, complemented by dark stained window trim and a green upholstered mid-century sofa, creating a cohesive connection with the outdoors. The specific wall paint is 'Blanched by Magnolia Home.' Another scheme, black and tan, is seen in a library makeover from 'Fixer Upper: Welcome Home.' Here, a deep slate gray with blue undertones, named 'Texas Storm by Magnolia Home,' is used for walls and trim, providing a strong contrast to a Calacatta marble fireplace and paired with a beige plaid rug and rattan chairs. Olive green, gold, and black are combined in a hall bathroom from 'Fixer Upper: The Castle,' where a sophisticated satin-finish green, 'Step Stool Green by Magnolia Home,' on wainscoting is enhanced by soapstone countertops and brass accents. A woodsy green and terra-cotta palette is evident in a kitchen from 'Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse,' featuring a custom metal island powder-coated in 'Remote Trail by Magnolia Home' and Spanish-style terra-cotta flooring. A blush pink and moody mauve scheme is used in a bedroom from 'Fixer Upper: The Castle,' where 'Rosy Pink by Magnolia Home' on walls and mantel is inspired by Gaines’ grandmother, Agnes Rose, and paired with an antique painting and mauve tile. Another example shows a rich green, black, and gray mudroom-laundry room from 'Fixer Upper: Welcome Home,' with green paneling and 'Garden Party by Magnolia Home' paint, along with tile walls and painted terra-cotta flooring. A navy blue-green and black combination is presented in a butler’s pantry from 'Fixer Upper: The Castle,' using 'Cottage Grove by Magnolia Home,' a color that shifts between navy and green depending on the light, coordinating with rich brown woodwork. A light gray and black bedroom from 'Fixer Upper: The Castle' features 'Silos White by Magnolia Home' on walls and 'Vintage Weathervane by Magnolia Home' on trim and wainscoting, accented by navy linens and a terra-cotta armchair. A green-brown and warm wood scheme is found in a mid-century-inspired library from 'Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse,' using 'Wooded Acres by Magnolia Home' for walls, harmonizing with warm wood built-ins. A charcoal gray and rich brown kitchen from 'Fixer Upper: Welcome Home' incorporates an island painted in 'Coffee Nook by Magnolia Home,' contrasting with white walls and stained wood cabinets. A pink and white girls’ bedroom from 'Fixer Upper: The Castle' uses 'Rosy Pink by Magnolia Home' on walls, complemented by white bedding and a white plaster chandelier.
