Trim paint dilemma... Advice, Ideas, and Pics?
Comments (4)Here are some photos of around the house (sorry, kind of random)... I'm in the process of painting over the gold in the family room to the same tan as the living room (still not convinced it is the best color tho) and am contemplating red for the kitchen... Family Room... Kitchen... (counter-height table) Living room.... (excuse the bag on the chair)...See Moreshould i paint all my trim & doors?? help pls (pics)
Comments (3)You have a major aesthetic decision to make. Should all of the trim be painted or remain natural wood tone? What you don't want to do is mix them (painted door jamb/head trim with natural wood base along the walls). If this seems daunting, just consider it one room at a time. Good luck....See MoreShould I paint all my trim white? (Pics)
Comments (13)Hi Roobear While I like the contrast of your dark trim against your pretty paint colors I can understand your dilemma. We just remodeled our bath and office and decided to change out the stained medium oak baseboard trim to white. Here is what we did that you might want to consider: Because the stained trim is narrow and I really like the look of a wider trim, we purchased MDF 5 1/4 inch pre-primed baseboard molding from Home Depot. It is very inexpensive and only needed 2 coats of paint. Looks so good that we are going to replace the hallway and master bedroom next. It really gives the rooms a whole different look, and if you are going to go to all the work of removing the trim, sanding, priming and painting you might want to consider an inexpensive and easy option. As for the windows. I painted them too. I left them open for a couple of days after and they seemed to be ok. The key it to make sure they are really dry before shutting the window. Good luck. Your room is pretty no matter what you decide. JR...See MoreDecorating with orangey oak trim & adding color to open floor plan?
Comments (36)"oak trim clashes with everything". why is painting it now not an option?? it's the one thing in that room that doesn't go w/anything. painting all that baseboard white, as well as the trim, will look so much better. The staircase could also look 10X better with either a new stain, or paint it black. at the very least, do the risers in black or white. Using your rug as a jump-off point, here are some other decor elements. you could use your camel leather sofa, ottoman, and just add some other black/white elements. Gravity is a purple gray. you need to find more of a neutral gray shade that works w/the flooring. (but you'll still need to paint out that trim! ) . Crushed ice is a nice gray, but very light. I love these color combos in your room. they would look great w/your wood ceiling and white trim if you feel you have to have orange trim work and baseboards, try a warmer gray in this color family. bring in some other warmer shades, as long as they work w/the gray floor. also, if you want to keep all the wood along the stairs, it might be worth stripping off the clear coat finish. over time, the clear coat yellows, giving you the orange tint. if you took it back to raw wood and finished it in the same tone of your ceiling, it might look a bit better. but I'd still do the baseboards in white. Here they are against a polished concrete. so much better looking. notice the oak in more of a natural finish. your could look like this....See MoreRelated Professionals

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoConsider a warm white paint, that is on trend, and would lower the contrast between the oak and the walls........possibly a blend of the lightest color in your sofa?
find a rug that is done in a tweed effect; cost effective and lots of choices that will work with the warm oak trim.
Also you have a lot of room on either side of the fireplace; consider putting the TV on either side down low over a console?
Or if you are considering new furniture place the TV on another entirely and see about doing a sectional that embraces the new TV location and the fireplace. win win.
Some examples of TV to side of fireplace in rooms with multiple windows and some nice furniture arrangements.

I think a carpet like wool sisal would be a nice option for you.
