need help with my dining room color/ceiling color in living room
Comments (1)Are you saying light comes from the north until late in the day, or are you saying there is a window facing north and a window facing west.? The reason I ask is that light that enters from a north-facing window is bluer and lacks intensity. Subtle color is washed out to gray. The Inchyra Blue is very dark, looking more charcoal with a green tone to me. I would choose the Cooks Blue. Here is a comparison I put together of those two colors with some blues from your rug.While the actual colors may be off due to how color can vary from monitor to monitor Cooks Blue is brighter and won't fade as much in northern light. Also, having a brighter blue on the walls should bring out the blue in your rug. The only way to know how it looks in your room is to buy a sample and paint a board as you did for other colors. Keep in mind that the color temperature of light bulbs you use will also affect the colors of your walls and furnishings. Color Temperature is expressed as Kelvin but is not a measure of heat. Warm-white bulbs have a color temp of 2700K which is kind to skin tones but gives a yellow light. Daylight bulbs have color temperature of 5000K to 6500K, but are harsh to skin tones and emit a blue-white light. Both CFL and LED bulbs come in various color temperatures. I recommend you choose bulbs with color temperature between 3500K and 4500K for a more neutral result. HERE is a photo of how different K-value lighting affects the appearance of color. You might have to visit a lighting store or light bulb specialty store to find neutral white bulbs. As to ceiling colors, people seldom look up. Unless your light fixtures are dramatic or the ceiling color is distinct I doubt anyone will notice if two adjacent rooms have different ceiling colors as long as there is a Framed Passageway between them....See MoreDining Room table vs sideboard
Comments (2)Not sure but you will be adding chairs to the table and possibly extra chairs on either side of sideboard. Should be fine. Just look At DR ON Houzz forvtegetence!...See MoreDining room buffet/sideboard size
Comments (2)90" is better IMO based on the scale of the room, not the table....See MoreDining room sideboard
Comments (6)Keep in mind that most sideboards aren't going to be designed to have drawers that accommodate large serving pieces. I have a lot of china that will not fit a typical set of drawers, nor would it be safe - when you pull out a drawer you are pulling out all its contents, which, depending on the fragility of the contents, may not always be a good idea. If you are only envisioning storing things like tablecloths and non fragile items, then a nice antique chest of drawers could work as well as provide visual appeal. I would also keep in mind why people like kitchen drawers over cupboards is because modern kitchen cabinet drawers are designed to be user-friendly, with specially engineered pulls and hardware to make it easy to pull out and close heavy drawers crowded with food or dishes or pots and pans. Sideboards and dressers are not going to be engineered to provide that kind of ease of handling....See Moreriellebee
