Painting our ugly walls was the next priority on our list. After trying out some light, gray-ish blues, we started looking at more industrial grays that would match with the loft's natural pallet of wood floors, rafter ceiling, and exposed grout and brick. In general, we wanted to go on the lighter side in order to keep the entire space brighter, especially at night. If we had more patience, or more indecisiveness, we may have gone back to try even more paint samples, but we choose the two lighter of the grays and went after our walls with rollers and paint brushes.
Our choice was to paint all of the main walls the middle gray (matte finish) and use the lightest gray (glossy) for the window sill. Unsure of my own instinct for picking paints, I only moved forward on this with my parent's full recommendation. I think my instinct would have been to go darker on the window sill, but we both love the lighter highlight that keeps that window space even brighter in the middle of the day.
