"At least your place has WALLS!" That's what one of our good friends said to us when we were gripping about picking out paint colors. She's in the middle of revamping her loft, and right now? She's stuck in the paint phase. The biggest dilemma is how to coordinate paint colors with walls in her loft. What she's looking for are colors that will ultimately tie the space together and designate specific areas. Anyone have any tips and paint palette suggestions? Check out more photos of her loft after the jump!
P.S. Everything in her home was scored off of Craigslist, eBay, swap meets, or yard sales. Well, except for all 98 of her plants and those long white chandelier light fixtures--she made those.
I want to know more about the long chandelier lights - very cool!

Man, I really need to get some plants.
As far as palettes go, she could look at colourlovers.com to check out how colors go together. Or peruse the Domino galleries for color ideas. It looks like some easy places to add color would be the kitchen wall, the wall behind the TV and maybe the bedroom.

I'd use the colours of the rug in the livingroom. The orange would look great along the long wall with the beautiful screens and frames, this would pick up on the exotic aspect of the screens. Maybe charcoal grey above and below the kitchen cabinets and then a very light version of the charcoal grey for the other long wall opposite the orange wall.
Good luck!

The problem for me is that there is too much clutter and even though it's a loft if feels kind of small. In a big space I would go for big things a not a lot of small things piled together. Clear the space and then see what colors you like.
