What white or light gray for this living room with vaulted ceiling?
Hello all,
I posted a question a few days ago about my dining room. I havent decided on the color for the dining yet but also need help with the living. It is all part of an open plan. I painted the kitchen recently (a silvery blueish gray). I was planning to use cool paint colors in kitchen, dining and living. But if you look at the living, it has a beige carpet. Adjacent to the beige carpet the tile in the kitchen has a color difficult to describe (please see the picture). What color would be good for the dining? It shouldnt clash with the carpet, the adjacent tile or the wall color in the kitchen...
Also, I would like to paint the top portion of the walls and ceiling in the living in a color darker than the bottom to make the space look cozier.
If I could find a shade of white/gray for the bottom and then the same color but darker for the top... and everything not clashing with anything else ...
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Hello all,
I am painting the different rooms in my house. The colors that were there before were warm, with a traditional look. I have painted the kitchen with SW reflection, a cool silvery light gray with blue undertones. I am going to paint the living area with SW ice cube -a very cool white with blue undertones. It is an open space plan, no separation between kitchen and living. My difficulty is with the dining room. The original look is very traditional and I like it a lot, but I think it will clash with the modern look of kitchen and living room (you can see the kitchen and living from the dining area). I will need to change the color in the dining area to something that: 1. Looks good near the modern cool feel of kitchen and living; 2. Is not boring ( I like the dining area to look elegant and more sophisticated than the rest of the house); 3. It should match the current decor of the dining area. I love the rug and dont want to change it. Also, what color could I use in the adjoining foyer (the foyer is adjacent to the dining). One more thing I want to do is change the dining room lamp to something silvery instead of golden, it will match the modern silvery look of the rest of the house. Any ideas for the lamp? Please advice!

Comments (0)We are looking at buying a house that has vaulted ceilings in the kitchen and living room. I want to paint my ceiling and one wall, in the living room, similar to the pic below with the blue wall. Maybe not quite that dark. As you can see from the bottom 2 photos, it is not an open concept, but more of a doorway between the kitchen and living room, causing a separation. I was thinking of blue and dark tan/gray colours for the living room, but am at a loss as to what to do in the kitchen. Any ideas? I don't really want to go with a white ceiling in the kitchen if the living room is a blue ceiling. And given the cupboards and the kitchen being small, should I just paint the kitchen and ceiling all one colour? Maybe the tan/gray that is also going to be in the living room? Thanks a bunch for any suggestions....See MoreHelp with half vaulted living room remodel!
Comments (3)I think you can easily achieve your desired aesthetic in the room. The lighter paint color and new skylight will go a long way to brightening up the room. I would add the skylight first and then choose paint color since the lighting in the room will really change once you add it. I have vaulted ceilings as well and the advice I always see on here is to decorate where you live-9' and under. The open space gives the eye a place to rest. I don't think you need to add a surround but a nice thick wood mantel would look great. Do you have any furniture that's coming back into the room?...See Morelighting for vaulted living room
Comments (7)Better too much light than not enough, thats why we have dimmers. I have 12’ flat ceilings in a large family room and I have 6 3500k Wafer lights. It does the job. I also have lighting in shelves flanking a fireplace and art lights mounted in the ceiling , the point is to consider all of the lighting going on. I live in Florida and I wanted a chandelier too but the fan practicality won out. Good luck with your build, I hope it goes smoothly....See More
