nedd help choosing a paint color to go with my oak jacobean floor
Comments (3)before you repaint, try glazing your mustard with water-based faux glaze mixed with raw umber-maybe about as dark as a light chocolate milk. Try it on a small area like between a window and a door and if you like it (and I suspect you might), either hire it out, or diy....See MoreWall paint color to go with olive green couches
Comments (19)Thanks again everyone for all the suggestions! It's been a few weeks since I've been to his house but his couches are fairly dark and if I had to choose if they were more "yellowy" or "brown", I'd choose brown. I've added Basket Beige, Natural Beech, and Sea Spray to my list to check out. I'm hoping to get a mix of samples ranging from the gray side to the more yellow side. I was thinking that by going with more of the taupe/gray tone, his olive/brownish couches would pop out and I'd add some natural woven roman shades to add some warmth to the room. I think the floors he's picking are really really dark....an espresso color....See Morewhat color paint to go with green & white floors
Comments (4)There is a lot of pattern and color in a small space already. I would paint the bathroom walls white to match the white in the tile and add color with a fun shower curtain, towels or accessories. Another color on the wall will make the space feel very busy.

Comments (17)Thank you, that's helpful. Even though it doesn't help to narrow previous suggestions because all of these might work)) This rug has very nice combination of neutrals. I would go for off white with green in it,. Creamy white would work too. But with a tad darker/different white shade of color you might not need to paint the trim. Unless you want a brighter, cooler pallette-but the rug still reads warm enough to me. What color is the trim now? Which samples have you tried already? Do you prefer certain paint company or it doesn't matter? Do you have Dunn Edwards where you live? (I'm on West Coast and I never heard of it before I moved here I must say) If yes I might have a suggestion. Doric White is a very nice off white...it can read white, off-white, a bit beige, a bit green depending on the light..it's chameleonic, rich color, pleasure to work with. I love it as a background,. As long as you made sure it works in your space with your light of course. I can't stop thinking about Kangaroo (that's Affinity collection of BM), that's one of my favorites; but it might be too dark for such a big space, And I'm very swayed by the rug's colors right now. In any case all of suggestions might look completely different in different houses, so at this stage, it's trial and error. You can do very light silvery sage... (By the way never go by the colors' name. I stumbled upon that Doric White when I looked for a perfect greige. I didn't find a perfect greige, but I found something better-a color that worked as i wanted it to. ) I think -out if all the colors you tried, pick the ones you liked best , or others you want to try, and make samples..I took A4 size paper(.A3 would be better), put two layers of a color I considered, as it would be two layers on a wall...would leave just the edges edges unpainted so it's white and messes less with the background ..then you can move it wherever, and compare with other samples, and see how the colors flow together in case you need several. Use masking tape to tape them to the walls. It's easy. I mean when I describe it it sounds like it takes time, but most time is spent looking at it, really. Lol. Looking and deciding is the hardest part. And take your time,..neutrals are hard. They are finicky. They change ever so slightly. But if you find the right one..they're really fun actually. That's what I love them for....See MoreMonica8
