How to Decorate a Room with Silver Mist Walls

Benjamin Moore Silver Mist 1619 is a soft, misty blue with a cool silver cast that brings a calm, peaceful aesthetic to a room. It’s a versatile color that pairs with light neutrals, like white, for a modern or minimalist look or warmer neutrals, like brown or beige, for a more traditional aesthetic. Let the experienced Red Star Paint & Decorating Center designers help you create a stunning space with Silver Mist walls.

Benjamin Moore Silver Mist 1619 Interior Design Ideas

Benjamin Moore Silver Mist is an excellent color for any room, including living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens. The combination of light blue and gray makes rooms cool but calming. Metallic accents look phenomenal with Silver Mist; use silver for a cool aesthetic or gold for a warmer ambiance.

If you choose Silver Mist for your living room, consider Benjamin Moore Steam AF-15, an appealing light white with a clean, soft look for the ceiling, and Benjamin Moore Cobblestone Path 1606 with deeper notes of blue and gray for an accent wall. Brighter colors, like orange and yellow, really pop against a calm blue-gray background, so add a few lamps, coffee table books, or art featuring the two hues.

Blue-gray spaces crave texture, which you can find in plush area rugs, overstuffed throw pillows, and nubby blankets. Smoother textures, like leather, on the furniture will add another dimension of texture and balance the busier surfaces in the room. Another décor must-have is layered lighting. Overhead lighting can be too bright in some areas and create uninviting shadows in others. Use it with table lamps and track lighting to ensure even light distribution. Dimmable lights are an excellent choice because they give you even more control over the room’s atmosphere.

Window Treatments for Rooms with Silver Mist Walls

Since natural wood is a beautiful accent for blue-gray, we suggest Parkland® Wood Blinds in a stain that matches other wood in the room, like trim or flooring. If there’s no other wood in the room, you can use a light stain to blend in with Silver Mist or a darker finish for contrast. Vignette® Roman Shades in an off-white or soft beige are another fantastic choice that will also bring texture and depth to the room’s décor. The delicate nature of Pirouette® Sheer Shades will balance the coolness of the blue-gray while diffusing sunlight into a soft, welcoming glow.

Consider Provenance® Woven Wood Shades and lots of lush green plants to play on the organic vibe of the blue tones.
