Help needed choosing an accent color for our kitchen
Comments (64)OK- I will work on all of this. Honestly I had my mom (who has a good eye) over today and we went through some options and I got more paint swatches. First of all now that I looked at more real yellows I can see where you are getting beige from the swatches I posted earlier today. At first I was thinking- beige? They seem clearly yellow to me. BUT now that I have 7-8 strips of yellow the others DO look beige. And it's interesting how you pick a color you think is good but then when you put another next to it it TOTALLY changes it to a different color! Talking through it with Mom, I think it will be a good idea to go in one direction or another. I was trying to kind of have a little of everything and realized it will all be muddled if I don't have a clear direction going here! In my very first post I love the dark brown cab with the original glazed cab. But, looking at the yellows, the brown wasn't working as well. Not horrible but not ideal. I think I'm going to go for it and do the yellow (like the new inspiration pic) and put a lot of white with it - still with walnut island maybe- and some black accents. I have a black cabinet sample that actually was much more exciting than the espresso with the yellows. : ) I'm so excited. I really love this and think it may work out! Wait til I show the decorator. It's quite different from my original plan. I think she'll like it too. My mom said she was surprised it was less formal than I usually like but I love it and think it will serve my house well. I think still keeping the arch window from my original inspiration picture (not on this thread) and my lights we can work it out I must take one of the lights out of the boxes b/c I want to see what the real color is. Hopefully they are not totally out of place with this new idea. If so, tell me and I'll see if I can return them. I REALLY love them and they were pricey so I hope it can work. Don't want to force it though : ) OK, thanks so much for your help! I love when I get responses as I'm a bit OCD about all of this (as I think most of us here are!)...See MoreUpdated: "Help me decorate my living room - Desperate help needed!"
Comments (1)I see a few things that aren’t horrible, by any means, but could be changed. Mirror and sideboard, for instance, as mirror is too large for the sideboard and it overwhelms the room, reflecting the t v. Try the art over the sideboard and add a floor lamp where the plant is, as it will do double duty for the sofa and the art. Have you ever thought about adding a floor to ceiling strip of trim to separate the dining area from the living area and painting that wall a color? Something like this with a couple of white shelves on that wall?...See MoreNeed help with living room design- ACCENT CHAIRS
Comments (6)A natural colored performance fabric chair. You don't want a sea of dark leather. The space is tight so you will have to be very mindful of scale and size. I would not choose something with a bulky arm as it is going to take up visual space and make the room feel cramped. Is the TV console on the left staying where it is? What does the other side of your room look like? I would like to see if there is any opportunity for a better layout....See MoreNeed help with choosing new area rug and chair for living room
Comments (12)Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I like the idea of some blue in the rug to pull from the photo above the fireplace, but I couldn't seem to find the right blue. A lot of the carpets had too bright of a blue. I'm limited to choices though because I'll only order from somewhere that has a store in my area where I can easily return the rug if I don't like it. I've decided to give this Safavieh carpet a try, I have it on order. I'm hoping the pattern and texture will provide enough interest. I'll work on the chair after that. I wonder if a chair with blue in it will still work if I get this carpet? I can tie the chair in by adding a few more toss cushions to the couch with blue in them and a couple of blue accessories throughout the rest of the space....See MoreAnnick Morin
