Looking for paint advice for north facing dining room...
Comments (4)I wouldnt paint your oak trim. It looks good the way it is, and its maintenance free. Also no paints with yellowy tones. That will not look good with your oak floors and trim. The rug you have is not large enough, and is actually the wrong color for the paint you have. I also do not like the blue up on the tray ceiling. Your room would be brighter if the ceiling and was all white. A lighter shade of blue, or aqua, or even a light green would brighten the room up considerably. I do like your wall art, but, I dont think it is right for your room. Once you have finished painting, look for a nice painting with some color in it. You could also use some accessories and some draperies, even if they are only side panels, that you leave open way to the side. The room, has a very bare feeling right now. It needs to look homey and comfortable to be in....See MoreSOS. paint color dark north facing room
Comments (1)Did you paint and what did you choose? I am in the same predicament!...See MoreNeed help with neutral paint color for North and South facing room.
Comments (3)I would consider painting the two rooms two different shades of white, yes even though they are connected. Even if you paint both rooms the same color they are going to look like two different colors of paint anyway because of the difference in light. So why not just pick two different shades that actually look good in each space? Who knows, because of the difference in light, they might end up looking more like the same color next to each other than actually using only one color. I just painted my home in all neutrals using Farrow and Ball. (If you don't want to pay that much for the paint, you can have it color matched in Benjamin Moore.) Their neutral colors are stunning and fewer to choose from, which actually makes it easier to select a great color. They break the colors up into 6 different neutral groupings. Check it out. I swear I don't work for them. I'm simply enchanted with the colors of my home!...See Moreneutral paint color help-north&south facing rooms
Comments (8)First make sure all your lighting is the same I like LED4000K but you can do 3500K then choose wall color understanding that everything in the space affects wall color so post pics of the spaces after you get the lighting done....See Moretibbrix
