grey walls with brown leather furniture
Comments (4)I have lighter grey walls, charcoal grey carpet and a brown leather sofa. I opted for no curtains (for now). In your case, if you are really wanting curtains, I'd go with a textured white with either a subtle grey stripe or no grey. You could also use this as a chance to introduce an actual color to your space. How about a minty green or sage (the new it color for 2018). (Here is mine, with no curtains and green accents.)...See MoreWhat color engineered flooring to choose w/gray brown furniture?
Comments (9)Beth H. that look is my favorite! Only thing is, I've been told that UV oiled floors are hard to take care of by some people, and others say you don't have to do anything to them. I don't know about that! So I stopped looking at them. They are gorgeous. I don't know what color to go with though. I don't want to lose warmth. I am trying to create warmth and lighten it up a bit in this dark house and have a beautiful elegant but relaxed look and a welcoming and cozy feel. Is this timeless? I don't want trendy. Also I've been told that that wide of a plank can warp easier. We are in the Southeast w/ all the humidity and on a slab. Is that wide plank timeless too? We must be slower to catching on w/ this look, although I'm starting to see it more here....See MoreI have BM Cloud Gray everywhere, can I use San Antonio accent wall?
Comments (7)Hi - the combination are in complementary Hue Families, so they work there. But maybe your designer thinks it may not play so well with your available light,in context with your other fixed surfaces? Might it feel too dark next to your dark wood floor? Does the Designer think more contrast with the flooring would be more effective? Something to note though, about warm near neutrals from that Yellow-Red Hue family neighbourhood- they can be prone to shifting purplish in imbalanced lighting, so test really carefully in your space. (Boards, not wall). If you do like it but it shifts purple, moving further clockwise away from this zone and looking for something similar maybe the answer. Again, you woukd have to try a large chip ir sample to know just how far to move. Stone Harbor is a little further clockwise but that may not be quite enough....See MoreCan I paint bedroom walls gray with brown trim?
