Comments (4)If I were building a custom home, the first thing I'd do would be to hire a good color consultant. You're dealing with two tricky colors there, both the combo and the colors, themselves. So much depends on the light orientation. In some people's homes, Kilim is the perfect neutral, but in other's it can lean pink or green. Now, I happen to have Ivoire in a good portion of my own home. Love it, but in lower light settings it can read pretty yellow (very subtle yellow, but yellow all the same). If you just paint a bit on the wall it will seem beige, but IRL, when on all four walls, the yellow magnifies. The other part of your question, about mixing beige and creamy yellow, just screams for a pro's advice. That is one of the toughest combos to do correctly. For the record, I have seen Ivoire used in the kitchen setting you describe. It looked lovely....See MorePaint help - everything looks beige/yellow!
Comments (2)I think a monochromatic color scheme is nice and it seems that you do have some variations in tone, which keeps it interesting. Have you considered blue for your foyer and halls?...See MoreUpdating 90s yellow granite kitchen
Comments (15)I would paint the walls ivory, replace the backsplash with ivory subway tile, and touch up the cabinets. That granite will look fine and far more neutral. You might switch out your lighting for a cooler color and knock down the yellow a bit that way. I also think maybe the reddish bar stools are making the yellow more noticeable, at least in that first picture. I might actually paint them cream, too. Or it might just be the light. Please post your updates! Good luck....See MoreRelated Professionals
