Living Room/Dining Room Entry Paint Color Ideas
Comments (10)My first question is What is your favorite color? You have excellent neutrals that could work with any color. If you love the cool gray green of Farrow and Ball's french gray I say go for that color. That is a color that can compliment many different colors from the gold warm tan drapes to a fire hot red chair or a deep green alligator. Go with what you like and you will be amazed that it works. If you think the Farrow and Ball French Gray is a little too green based you might consider another FB paint called Light also by FB French Gray FB Light by Farrow and Ball I like mixing cool and warm in different venues for drama. Obviously not all the colors but keeping it simple to two basic hues and working with them is ideal. You have one small wall behind your china cabinet that you could paint in a gold tan to match the drapes but the rest of the walls the Blue gray Farrow and ball you are thinking of would be perfect. Here are some combinations of gray blue and tan that look stunning.

Comments (11)I would hang solid neutral drapes throughout..add bold saturated pillows and rugs to bring in color...please do not hang all those dark colored printed drapes in your beautiful home! the drapes are off white and eggnog can be mixed into all the rooms..beautiful and sophisticated! Have fun with color in accessories and get yourself some bold colorful rugs....See MoreCurtain ideas in living room
Comments (6)If you do need curtains, then one long pleated panel per window matching your walls, like this arrangement, will work. Just pull them to the side during the day to let in light and a view. If you don't need curtains for privacy, then don't have any at all. That way the fireplace can be the star. If you were looking to add pattern in the room by the curtains you have, think about an oversized rug and art instead--high contrast that lightens the dark leather furniture and floor: Any reason not to pull one of those leather pieces to face the windows and fireplaces, which are focal points of the room. Can you take a photo with your back to the fireplace to see the rest of the room? You'll get better suggestions that way....See Moreeverdebz

5 years agoTotal coincidence that I had this open for another reason, but what if you made organic look over the sofa and kept the blinds a while? :)
This is kind of a 'cool' look … in other words, it's a challenge to find patio curtains!
