Dining rooms are often the best place to take a "color risk." By choosing Fusion, you're opting for a shade that is saturated and confident, yet still refined enough to act as a neutral backdrop for colorful table linens and floral arrangements.

Small bathrooms amplify whatever color is on the wall, which makes the choice more consequential than it first appears. Fusion has enough depth to register without closing the room in, and it plays well with white subway tile or warm wood accents.

1 Living Room Photo
There is a specific "glow" that Fusion takes on during the golden hour in a living room. As the sun sets, the pigments react with the low-angled light to create a hazy, ethereal atmosphere that feels incredibly high-end. It's a color that rewards those who use the room during the transition of the day.
