Country Design Home on Dec 16, 2014Hi! It really depends on where the desk is located. In a dark room you want it to be lighter, and vice versa for a light room.Helpful Reply

GR on Dec 16, 2014I agree it depends where you are going to put it and the style you are trying to create but I find grey is always a good choice for desks. You can use lighter or darker shades to suit most colour schemes and its a classic. Another favourite is black but you might have a job covering that white finish! Good luck with whatever you decide :-)Helpful Reply

Judy Rashotte on Dec 16, 2014I think you should do it in a two tone to go with whatever room you are putting it in. Make it the piece that stands out in the room.Helpful Reply

WendyLou on Dec 16, 2014I would try a warmer color (such as "antibes green"). Paint the desk one color, and then maybe a pattern (such as checkerboard or mini stripes) on the drawers using shades of the green lightened with "old white". Good luck!Helpful Reply

LibrarianTellsAll on Dec 17, 2014Is it for resale, or will you be using it in your own home? And is it for a kid's room or an adult's office? It's hard to answer without knowing what the room looks like. A creamy off-white or pale taupe color would work almost anywhere. Whatever you do, I'd paint it all one color. No two tone/pattern/faux finish. I think furniture looks nicer and more expensive with a "less is more" approach. Save the pattern and texture for textiles and art.Helpful Reply

Orchidmg on Dec 17, 2014Depends on whose room it's for. For a girl or female teen, a pastel pink. For a boy, a light grey or pastel green. For an office, a grey or dark beige. For your bedroom, like for a vanity, I think pure white with a stencil on the front of the drawers would look nice.Helpful Reply
