Alabaster in a Living Room: Walls, Upholstery and Sightlines

The decision for this particular color

Alabaster can be considered for living room if its color and depth suit the space; the first design question is two alabasters, two different color decisions. Alabaster OC-129 has a pink-white identity that should not inherit the warm-white advice written for SW-7008.

Why the pink-beige stone and ivory fabric relationship matters

Pink-beige stone offers a reason to consider that blush, but the authentic Benjamin Moore sample must establish the actual relationship.

The manufacturer's coordinating suggestions include Calm OC-22, Baked Terra Cotta 1202 and Garlic Bulb 2112-70. These are separate named colors to sample, not interchangeable formulas. For the material direction considered here—pink-beige stone and ivory fabric—choose which surface each candidate would occupy before deciding that the whole set belongs in the room.

Review the seating area from the doorway

Read Alabaster behind the main upholstery with the curtains and fixed trim visible together. Light walls can make differences among ivory fabric, cream cabinetry and white moldings easier to notice. Resolve the largest surfaces first; cushions and small decorative objects can be chosen later.

Build the rest of the room around the result

Specify OC-129 on the sample and judge its pink note; do not transfer advice about SW-7008. The whole-house color assessment covers that related choice. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice.

For the living room, view Alabaster behind the main upholstery from the entrance. Restore the curtains and everyday objects before approval so the room is assessed as it will be used. The coordinating color options covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
