Need help for wall colours with almond colour window cassings

3 years ago

We just bought this home and we are really needing advice. The wall colours drastically change depending on the natural lighting coming in. We are looking at some different tones in the browns.

Our window casings are almond and the treat and doors are also almond. We aren’t sure if we should paint the trim white or leave to match the casings.

Any advice would be amazing.

Do you love browns, or are you thinking that’s what will work best with the fixtures you already have?

We do love earth tones. It’s figuring out how we can work with the window casings being the colour they are. We were thinking of painting the trim white and how to tie in the colour of the casings in the home.

When we started to renovate our house a friend gave me the best advice I've ever gotten! She said check your closet! I found that I'm not a lover of pattern or pastels! I am a fan of green however! Our family room is stained woodwork, green carpet and comfortable chairs with no pattern. I did that instinctively and I feel good there - much like the clothes I wear. As we started our bath reno I followed her advice. Back to the closet! If you have colors you like in your closet and the rest of the house - stick with those. In your mostly white bath you could bring in most any color you like!

ETA clarity to my post. What color is the last picture? That looks good. I think if you live with it like was suggested above you will like it. Accessorizing with some amazing colors for that wall color will help to pull the room together. I have a bathroom that I used BM Bunny Gray in and it looks like a baby blue. I have white, gray, and marble in that room. I have another room with carrara marble in, and I used BM Horizon, but that has a bit of green in it. The Horizon is very pale and might seem white to some. But the warming of the blue goes with my walnut. The Bunny Gray is a bit richer and looks fine with my whites, blacks, and marble. I tried many many samples for the marble in this room and settled on the Bunny Gray. No pink or green that I see in the Bunny Gray. This is a deco that I found and based my BM Bunny Blue room colors on. The lichen might have faded but the reddish in the mussles go well with the blue. The blue is very pale in these picture. click on them to get them full sized:

Here is a picture of our brick and stone... Not our house, but similar exterior color palette. We agree brick and stone are not our favorite either. But it’s hard to fine a semi-custom builder in our price range that does anything different around here. Have to go fully custom and be willing to spend $700k or more on a home to get better exterior options in the Dallas area... pretty frustrating that builders haven’t caught on.

With high ceilings, I'd get a price for replacing the upper cabinets in the kitchen. I think a 20-22 in backsplash height, straight across, instead of what you currently have would be an improvement. You could get a high arc traditional faucet . You could stack cabinets with glass doors for display at the top most 12 inches. Just leave the lower cabinets in the stain color. ditto the above about counters.... also a chance for a single bowl sink and therefore get a bit more counter space. What do you have to left of fridge? The situation here if explained and shown more of the space will yield more feedback. Renting? Studio apt in your home or above a garage? an apt in a multiple dwelling unit that you own?

Not brown but taupe if you like it would work better. Or warm gray.

or lighter version of Cloud nine SW

I'm interested in what you decide to do. It is my understanding that it is not a good idea to paint vinyl windows. I have found some hacks but the reliable sources seem to say don't risk it.
