Comments (23)Such a nice space! All that wood is going to boss around your decorating. You are smart to try to work with it instead of fight it with cool colors. I think orange is definitely out as an accent color. It is just going to enhance the orange tones of the wood. I would consider painting all the doors in the dining space, it will make the space look less chopped up. I saw on another thread that you are replacing the kitchen floor. Have you considered a slate look tile with faint brown accents? Your floor will have a nice clean look and the accents will work with the wood and will look good with your taupe cabinets.

Comments (6)Consider a cream or a green with gray undertone or gray with green undertone. Cool grays with warm woods are often a miss, but green grays, which are usually warmish, seem to help bridge the cool / warm divide. A warm wood kitchen combined with lots of white can also be a calm place. These cabinets are not alder - but it is calm and would be calmer if the grout was a lighter gray or even white: You don't show the sink wall, but with all that storage along the fridge wall, you might remove some sink wall cabinets and leave more open area. Put up some calm and pretty artwork instead. This kitchen is also not alder, but the increased window and decreased cabinets make for a calm and pretty space: You don't need to tile the walls - just a pretty painted wall with some pretty calm art would work. Before you paint the cabinets, look at the possibility of calming other surfaces, especially the backsplash if it is at all busy. This is one green gray which might work. I might do a slightly lighter shade....See MoreBM white paint color goes w red oak floors refinished w nordic seal?

SW Creamy (probably my favorite white ever - it glows at night), SW Rainforest or Martha Stewart Plumage (don't know if her colors are available), SW Tea Chest. I don't know the name of the charcoal gray color.
