Paint advice for mud room with honey oak trim
My entire house is painted mushroom brown with brown furnishings with honey oak cabinets and trim we are not going to paint.
Want to keep my window picture. The sample paint is SW Quietude. The board is BM Stone Harbour. Quitude seems too bright and Stone Harbour too dark. I tried Comfort Gray which seems too gray to go with the picture. I am not wanting a color that reads yellow. Ideas please for colors to compliment my window painting that are not boring brown and not too bright? It is a 1976 house on the farm

Comments (6)I also suggest one color for walls and ceilings. You can leave the beam as is. The room will feel cozier (not smaller). For paint, a beige or cream. Gray would need a brown undertones. Here is a good article with color suggestions and photos. Paint can be hard, and needs to be seen in your space/light. I always like to get some of the sample boards at SW to paint and see during the day/night. Don't paint directly on walls so you can move around (and color bleeds through). Both BM and SW have "crap paint" (smaller cans, inexpensive paint - you would never use on walls) to buy for exploring....See MorePainting honey oak trim
Comments (0)We are planning to paint honey oak trim, windows, doors, cabinets, and builtins white. Does anyone have any advice or experience on best way/materials to do this? We have 3 small children and a dog- we want to make it as durable as possible (so we can wipe it down easily and avoid chipping). Some people recommend sanding, while others do not. Any experience is highly welcomed!...See MorePainting honey oak trim
Comments (6)My main part of the project was removing the paneling. It dated the house and made the room darker and smaller feeling. The wood is in good shape, yes, but I think it’s the color that is also dating it. Thanks for your advice. Maybe I’ll start with cabinet and ledge, and then go from there on each remaining piece. I’m not good at deciding on things before they are done....See More

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agodo a color like Quietude, but a bit softer. that blue is a nice match w/what you have.
But why don't you just get a lighter tone of the green in the frame?
you could also do a range of the sage green tones
these neutrals all work w/oak. stay away from blue grays and purple grays (like your sample)

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoblue is perfect for oak. did you see all the colors I posted in my other comment? I put a few blues in there. this blue would look really nice w/the oak
I also like the greens. Sage greens look great w/oak and will work w/your green frame.
This is Silver Sage
SW Svelte Sage
Behr,,Quiet Moments
bring home some other samples (if you use Behr, you can get the $2 samples. BM is at $7 each. )'
these are some gray/greens and would look nice. I don't like the blue/grays w/the oak because those paints tend to run on the 'cool' side, whereas oak is warmer.
Pale Oak (BM) may be nice for the other rooms.
maybe try this link for the best wall colors w/oak cabinets
