In this Severn home just minutes from BWI, an open-concept layout that should have felt airy and connected had instead become a patchwork of mismatched paint left over from different owners and different decades. Greige walls clashed with a warm cream hallway, and no color carried cleanly from one space to the next. The family wanted something cohesive, bright, and current.
Our team started with a full color consultation, landing on a single warm white throughout the living room and a complementary light sage for the hallway — tones that flow naturally and make the whole first floor feel intentional. We patched and skim-coated several dented sections of drywall before rolling on two coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald matte, then cut in clean lines where the walls met the vaulted ceiling and the staircase trim.
The open layout finally works for the family now rather than against them. The living room feels larger, the hallway welcomes you in rather than stopping you in your tracks, and the whole downstairs reads as one unified home. It's the kind of refresh that costs a fraction of a renovation but delivers results you'd expect from one.
"We've been living with these walls for six years and kept saying we'd get around to it. Primus Paint Co got it done in two days and we genuinely couldn't believe the difference. Our living room finally looks like it belongs in a home we're proud of."
