How to Choose the Right Interior Colors for a Cozy Maine Winter
As the days get shorter and colder in Maine, your home becomes your sanctuary.

November is the perfect time to refresh your interior with paint colors that bring warmth, comfort, and style. At Jim Steeves Painting, we help homeowners choose colors that set the tone for the season — and beyond.
Warm Tones for Comfort
Colors like soft beige, creamy ivory, and warm terracotta create a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for Maine winters. These shades add warmth and make living spaces feel more inviting.
Accent Walls for Personality
Adding an accent wall in a deep forest green, navy, or burgundy can bring richness to a room. It’s a great way to highlight a fireplace, dining area, or bedroom wall.
Light Colors to Brighten Shorter Days
Winter in Maine comes with less daylight. Lighter neutrals, pale grays, and soft blues can reflect natural light, helping your home feel brighter and more open.
Test Before You Commit
Lighting plays a huge role in how colors appear. Always test a few swatches on your wall and check them at different times of the day before making your final choice.
A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to transform your home. Let Jim Steeves Painting help you pick the perfect palette for your space this November — so you can enjoy a cozy, refreshed home all winter long.
