Stained Oak Trim with Painted Cabinets?
Comments (6)Thanks for the responses HotDog, Cote de Texas has tons of beautiful photos. I have to say while I love to look at those kitchens and maybe even am more drawn to that style, most of them are too "fancy" for me. We made a conscious decision to decorate more casually, which is one of the reasons why we moved to this house. Our former home was much more formal, and we decorated with a lot of Victorian antiques. But with 4 kids and their friends running around, those more formal spaces didn't get used much. Even adult friends seemed to prefer to hang out in the more casual areas. I guess it is that "decorate for the life you live" thing. Sandra, thanks for sharing the photo of your bathroom. That is exactly the kind of thing I am looking for. Most rooms I see on this blog have painted trim, makes it hard to picture the stained trim with painted cabinets. Ajsmama, you are right. If people can have stained cabinetry with painted trim, why can't I have the opposite? Again, I think I am unsure because I don't see much of it. I did find a few kitchens on the Finished Kitchens Blog that have white cabinets and stained trim. I would love to see more bathrooms if anyone else has one....See MorePaint color to go with gray kitchen cabinets & oak trim?
Comments (1)Grays work best with white and very dark trim and cabinets. It can be a challenge to get cool grays to work with warm wood tones - they don't bring out the best in each other. Look for warm grays or greens with gray undertones, taupe, and greiges. Warm wood tones look best with whites, cream, creamy beige, blues and greens. Some whites that lean gray might work. The below pic is Maritime White and reads light gray. This green gray may be too dark, but a lighter shade of the same idea might work: This is a lighter one: A white may be a way to go:...See MorePaint color advice for boring brown house with honey oak trim!
Comments (22)You definitely need some color, personally whites, creams and anything in the brown family is drab. Try a matte mossy green, or light olive tone. The lighter greens go well with your trim, add color, and a welcoming feel....See More1920 Bungalow - light blue wall paint, wood trim. Decor ideas?
Comments (6)The blue wall color is nice but I don't think I'd keep it for every room. Try a warm white for most of the rooms and leave the blue in just one, perhaps the dining room. It is a lovely home, one that I think would benefit from warm colors. Consider Oriental rugs first and then pull the colors from them for furnishings, cushions etc....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.
