Painting the interior window sill. Should it be the same color as the interior wall?

I am painting my interior walls.

Do I paint the interior window sills the same color?

My walls are a coco brown.

Thanks,

Hi,

It does not have to be the same color as your wall. How about painting the window sill white?

There are no rules that say yes or no. If you like it that way then do it, if you want a trim color then pick one. It will look good either way. I have done both and it can be changed if you want to change colors.

Do it the way YOU like it! If it doesn't look good, paint is easy to change. Most people paint the window sills the same color as the window trim - usually a contrasting color like cream or white, but that isn't a hard and fast rule.

It's your house - paint it so that it looks good to YOU!
