Dining room accent wall color to go with wet cement grey
Comments (3)Yellow is a cheery contrast for gray. I'm working, slowly, on a sewing/craft room; I didn't originally plan to paint it gray, but I saw a friend's living room, &...there I went. Although my usual mantra is "warm colors with warm colors & cool colors with cool colors"... when the cool color is gray, it seems to highlight the light, bright, warm pastels. My current, not set in stone or even jello, plan calls for curtains with a yellow/green/orange pattern, or maybe a turquoise/orange (or peach) pattern. so...release your inner butterfly!...See Morewhat do I do around this fireplace? make an accent wall? built ins?
Comments (34)To answer questions, yes we gutted and opened up this home. We want our family room just inside the front door as it functions well for watching children playing outside. (Rather than a formal living room, but we want to create a NICE space) The dining room has the fireplace and is open to the kitchen, which has an amazing 10’ island with a bar height side with 4 seats and then a counter height end for food prep. We’re loving the kitchen tho still waiting on light fixtures and backsplash. The flow is working well for us but the furniture placement and how to highlight the fireplace and it’s area is the challenge! Thank you BTW we DO have another room that would serve as the formal dining room but we don’t have that need at this time and are using it as a lovely home/mom office and playroom, so toys stay in there and not all over the house....See MoreBest accent colors for otherwise brown and neutral room
Comments (15)I LOVE that lamp! Thank you so much! Yes, his art mostly consists of old black and white photographs, old wooden snow shoes and skis (this is a ski house). He's about to downsize from his primary house in another city and spend more time at the ski house. His primary house has some more colorful art in it that is very beautiful, so I can probably facilitate him bringing some of the art up there....See MoreAccent wall... Do these colours work?
Comments (1)Not a Pro. Your room looks great! a little blurry, but great lol I personally would not add an accent wall. Sounds like you feel the room is missing something or not giving you the pop you want and need. Post more pics and the Pros. may be able to suggest some improvements and give you what you think you are lacking in your room....See MoreJ Y
