Paint color suggestions for small open living and dining room
Comments (7)A big vote for a basic gray to be used throughout the whole area -- THEN add your orange accents in fabrics, artworks, rugs etc. In time -- and perhaps according to the seasons -- you MIGHT want to switch accent colors -- and this way -- it is easier to do .... Also -- perhaps consider waiting until you can find an inspiration piece -- like an area rug or artwork -- and THEN match the color and shade of gray -- MUCH easier to do in that order! :) For example check out BM Willowcreek #1468 -- a medium (but still fairly light warm gray) .... Hope you don't mind some thoughts!...See MoreHelp choosing a kitchen paint color...any suggestions?
Comments (13)for some reason I see a very light pale pretty yellow with your materials. I am not a yellow person...but it would work with the blue in the next room, keep it cheerful...just a little nicer than white or off white. Don't have to be so serious in a beach house, yellow might be just that little extra bit of charm with your kind of somber/serious materials chosen so far. Very light though....See MoreUsing Space in Narrow Kitchen Effectively - Any Suggestions?
Comments (9)Hi chc27- I have an idea that although would not give you more counter space in your kitchen, would find you more storage space. What is in your dining room now besides the table and chairs? You could store quite a lot in there if you are clever about it. I have seen many articles where people have purchased stock kitchen cabinets, either upper or lowers, depending upon their preference and the desired height, and put a toe kick below and a nice molding above and a flat plywood on top, and painted it nicely and installed hardware it desired. Your dining room probably isn't wide enough to do it in the middle of the long walls, but you could do this in all four corners of the room, no one will be sitting there. And depending on the configuration of your room (I don't have all the measurements of the corners to gauge, or maybe middle school geometry was too long ago:) in some corners you can fit more than two cabinets in each corner. Maybe two in one direction, and one going the other direction. Some can have drawers, some shelves. And here's the great thing about this. They can be overflow storage for your kitchen storage for the things you don't use that often, like the waffle iron or the crock pot you use only once a week, and the good crystal and silver and the liquor. And those cabinets can also become very helpful to you when you have company, too. Instead of leaving the tops painted, you can have a piece of heavy glass cut to fit the top so you don't have to worry about stains or burns and you can serve from them. If you do that, don't give the measurements for the glass to be cut, have the glazier come to you, so he is responsible for any mistakes! When you entertain, you can put out yourdesserts on them. If you are serving buffet style you can put your food on them and have different stations, with different things, different places. If you use warming trays or crockpots, etc, plan in advance if you want to attach an outlet(s) to the underside of the edge of the cabinet on the side or the back near the outlet where you can reach it but where it is not visible. Think about it you want to mount a power strip/surge protector, a better idea. If you would want to put somethings on a timer, think about that as well. I am not an engineer type, talk to someone who knows about electrical things about your needs in this area. Here, they use three cabinets to build a sideboard. https://www.thisoldhouse.com/how-to/how-to-build-sideboard-stock-cabinets...See Moresloped ceiling in living room, kitchen/dining room.
