To create the ultimate place to unwind and catch some Zzz's, Joanna recommends a rich, but relaxing, shade of blue for bedroom walls. "Bedrooms are a great place to take a risk and use a little more color," Joanna Gaines told CountryLiving.com. "I would love to see a client use 'Weekend' in their bedroom.

When in doubt, go with a fresh shade of green. "At the moment, I'm really drawn to fresh botanical shades, like 'Magnolia Green,'" Joanna said. "I've always been drawn to nature in my design work and really love bringing a touch of it inside. I think it would be fun choice for kitchen cabinets, or anywhere that needs a touch of nature." The hue is also perfect for brightening up a bathroom, entryway, guest room, or any other small space.
