Home Decorating living room Design Dilemma

I need help with wall colors in my living room, dining room, kitchen

3 years ago

I am in need of help choosing paint colors for ^^. I hate grey, I’m so tired of it. I don’t like this whole new generation type of materialistic look with everything based on grey. For those who know what I’m talking about. I like more war, colors like the beige or light tan to coordinate with each other. I just need help finding the right colors for the 3 places.

Please clarify this statement...

"I like more war, colors like the beige or light tan to coordinate with each other."

Also it is hard to recommend colors without some idea of the space and how the rooms relate to each other. Do you have a floor plan, sketch or pictures that you can post to help us give you ideas? Whole house open concept or 3 separate rooms with doors or clearly defined separations for different colors of paint. Also what color & type of flooring, furniture, cabinets, rugs, art etc...

Without any of the above I can say I like the following colors & you might start your paint journey with:

I would suggest looking for a beautiful rug that you love--it should have at least some of the colors you have already used in your rooms. Use the rug as in "inspiration" and tie-together piece. From your description, I think using your ocean blue in the kitchen area would be nice. What color are the existing walls? You would have to figure out if there is a good stopping point to switch paint colors. Good luck, and we DO want to see pictures.

I think the colors currently on the walls work fine. I might suggest however that you remove all the small understated wall and sparsely spaced pieces replacing larger more intentional ones for impact. If you opt to keep the art and pictures on the walls they need to come down to eye level height. Rather than painting entire walls you could paint the transitional walls like a bridge (the one by the stairs and the one by the front door). You could go with a latte, coral, grey, or gold. Good luck.

Unless you have some special situation that we don't know about, the basics are that you need a table and chairs in the dining area. How many people do you want to seat? Do you need more storage in that room too? Benches are not as comfortable as chairs, and don't fit well in the room with your windows and baseboard heating units. Are there children or adults only? For the living room, a sofa and 2 chairs would fit well. How many people do you want to seat at one time? 2 chairs are better than a love seat, comfort-wise. It looks like the side near the front door is open - what does it open to? Will there be a TV in this room? That will make a big difference in furniture arrangement since there seems to be only one wall it can go on. When you send us the room dimensions with door and window openings we can give you an idea of sizes.

@decoenthusiaste OMG! the first one speaks to me! I love the contrats and choice of color! Do you think a cream colored 3 seater is a good option, or a grey-ish color? I am torn between making sure everything matches in a harmonious way, but I also want to add a hint of brightness or color to the room. What do you think?
