should kitchen color be the same as morning room or fam room?
Comments (2)We are in the painting stage of our remodel which took out walls and opened up into a great room type area w/kitchen. We have decided to paint all one color for the entire space but each "area" within that great room will have one contrasting colored wall (at least that's what Candice Olson says to do)She says it helps to define that area...not sure if that helps or not....See MoreNeed Help With Paint for Kitchen/Fam Room

Comments (6)Before our recent remodel my house interior was Dover White, flat finish on walls and Dover White wood trim in semigloss. My downstairs floor plan is mostly open and I was happy with the combination. Dover White is a shade that will change throughout the day's light and it played well with all the colors in my furnishings. And it never looked too harsh, to me, during cold winter months, as some whites can. We replaced our natural maple stained cabinets with white (a creamy white cabinet manufacturer calls Buttercream) and we have light stone counters. I wanted a subtle color on my walls as contrast to all the white. We Chose BM Carrington Beige and I just love how it makes all my white trim and our mantel pop. It is a chameleon shade that reads greenish, at times. Other times it's warm with a subtle golden glow. The name "beige" IMO, is not very representative of this color.

Comments (4)I would probably do a cream - but then I have cream with a touch of beige in my own home:) A sage would be pretty and if you like grays, go for a warm, light gray, which would probably read more green. The surfaces are all warm toned, so I would stay away from a cool gray. Blues could also work. I have a lot of blue in my home - works well with warm toned wood. I tend to use it as an accent color and in decor rather than on the walls in the "public" rooms - though I have light blue walls in bedrooms and bathrooms.
