Kitchen paint - Sherwin Williams Sensuous Gray
Comments (12)Warm toned cabinet and cool grays do not work well together. Neither brings out the best in the other and the overall effect can be drab. "Grays" that are really blues or greens with a gray undertone can work, especially if you don't mind the darker kitchen look as opposed to the light and airy look. For my own oak kitchen I have a soft creamy beige that has just enough color to set off my white trim. https://www.houzz.com/photos/my-pics-work-in-progress-phvw-vp~58830325 https://www.houzz.com/photos/my-pics-work-in-progress-phvw-vp~71048330 This person refreshed their oak kitchen with darker countertops and presently has a more green wall color - pics are in the comments section: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/affordable-update-dsvw-vd~4347799?n=13 One of the regular Houzz posters auntthelma, chose this pretty green with gray undertone with her wood cabinets: Do get sample jars and paint a large area with the sample - 2 coats if possible and look at it for a few days and in different lighting - also gray vs sunny days....See MoreNorth facing Open living room dilemma
Comments (0)Hello, I'm having issues picking a paint color. We thought we wanted a sagey/olive green- but the colors I'm picking out are not working. I learned that I should stick with warm colors- as the greens look too cold in a northern light. I so far have: Behr-Sage wisdom= too dark Wabi sabi-too milky/minty Sherwin Williams- Livable green- too minty/green/yuck Sea Salt- too beachy The wall color I have currently on the wall is Coconut Milk- this is a beautiful color, however, my room feels cold and depressing during the day. I am aiming for warm and cozy- but something that goes well with my large stone fireplace. I have 8 Ft. ceilings and want a color that will make the walls look a little bit taller??? We have dark trim, all wood floors which I think are on the warmer side. We tend to lean towards a traditional decorating style. (the house is a mess, my husband tore down park of our entry to brighten up the kitchen) Can anyone, anyone help??? Would a taupe or warm grey be out of the question? Should I just stick with warm whites??...See MoreNeed help in North facing Living room!

Comments (24)still a little busy. (who makes that Hawthorn model? what company?) here's what I mean by 'busy pattern' once installed here's a rustic type this one isn't too horrible, but it still has an obvious pattern mannington mills. this one isn't too bad but compare all of those to something like this. see what I mean? which do you prefer this is a nice taupe color that would work. its from CaliBamboo https://www.calibamboo.com/product-longboard-whitewater-white-vinyl-flooring-7902500201.html would match your taupe/gray wall colors you like...See Morehemina
