Finding Your perfect paint color

13 Min.

Boston design center’s spring market!

We love all things spring – especially the BDC Spring Market! And we have a fantastic event planned for this year’s market.

With the abundance of paint colors (900 shades of white alone) it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when choosing your interior paint colors. What looks perfect in a paint chip doesn’t always translate to the perfect wall or cabinet color. There’s a method and a specific skill set to knowing what colors will look good and where. Don’t fret, we have gathered the experts for a panel discussion where they will share their knowledge with you.

When: May 16th 1pm
Where: Boston Design Center – Gallery
Tickets: The event is free – but seats are limited and pre-registration is required.

one on one advice after the panel

When the panel discussion has ended please join us in our beautiful 2nd floor showroom where our panelists will be available for one on one consults. Bring your color dilemmas (photos, plans, inspiration images) and ask our experts your questions.

Debbe Daley will also be signing copies of her new book Interior Motives. Designing a Career With Passion. Debbe’s beautiful book can be purchased here, or directly from Debbe after the event.

Refreshments will be served in the Jewett Farms + Co. showroom after the discussion. Stay and enjoy a snack and chat.
