Wall color to complement taupe couch?
Comments (28)I think I've almost got a color narrowed down. I found a really nice grey that is almost right, so I'm going to try to get a darker sample and see if it will be as fantastic as I'm hoping it will be. However, I've hit another problem. As I look at my fireplace (which I hope to strip back down to its natural brick), I've realized that the proportions are really throwing me off. The mantle seems too small considering the size of the fireplace. Am I crazy in thinking so? Something has to be done with the mantle anyway, since it's not even attached to the fireplace. We can pull it right off, which seems a bit dangerous since there's also an outlet built into it. I like the look of this sort of fireplace, with the pretty white wood against the dark brick. They even have dark walls, which helps me to visualize what mine could look like. But given the shape of mine, I can't really see a way to achieve that look. Any ideas on how I might? The bits of brick that stick out at the top, as well as the fact that my brick doesn't extend to the ceiling, has me thinking I won't be able to just attach boards. Maybe I should just make the mantle a bit thicker? From the floor to the top of the brick is 52 3/4" and the width is 55 1/2", if that helps....See Morewall and trim colors to complement dark floor
Comments (2)I love Candice Olson work and I do remember her blues, but for some reason I cannot find any nice pics on the website. I was hoping to use the blues as accents, just because as I mentioned, painting the whole first floor blue, plus big parts of second and third floor (all continuous walls) is daunting :) The wickham gray is kinda bluish when it's on the wall, you can see it between the set of windows and the doors. I'm afraid the blues will give the house a cold feeling....See MoreWall color matching or complementing gray mist by BM in kitchen.
