Blue-gray walls set the scene for rest and relaxation in Hanna Seabrook's Kentucky home.

On the exterior of our 2012 Idea House in Georgia, Sherwin-Williams Natural Choice (SW 7011) is a, well, natural choice! See more.

We love Sherwin-Williams Naturel (SW 7542) for kitchen cabinets since it's neutral but not cliché white. Take the full home tour here.

Farmhouses can get stuck in an all-white-paint loop, but they don't have to! A classic French blue like Celestial (SW 6808) from Sherwin-Williams feels traditional but looks fresh when paired with pops of pattern and a modern pendant light fixture.  

Farmhouses don't have to feel inherently masculine. A muted, dusty pink like Farrow & Ball's Setting Plaster (No. 231) is a gorgeous new way to do neutral that isn't white or beige. Take the complete tour of this Kentucky farmhouse that's the perfect blend of old and new here.

Farrow & Ball's Skylight (No. 205) is a reliable go-to for exterior doors and shutters on a white house. See the rest of this classic farmhouse here.

Instead of drywall, the bedroom in this new take on a classic farmhouse is paneled with charming board-and-batten painted Benjamin Moore's Fanfare (874). A feminine cornice and draperies complement the rustic walls in a beautiful way. This soft blue paint color is timeless.

In this farmhouse bathroom, an antique find inspired the pretty pale green wall paint, Spinach White (SW64 34) from Sherwin-Williams. A modern sink and crisp white subway tile freshen up a rustic vintage table and woven basket. Tour this Georgia farmhouse here.
