should I repaint this room?
Just moved into this house & trying to decide about this secondary living space wall color. The walls are painted black & the flooring is a large format black & white tile. Not my jam & it seems the large format tiles are locking me in. The tiles have to stay but I can repaint the wood paneled walls. I put a rug down which helped but could get a bigger one. Just don’t know about the black walls. The room gets little direct light so it’s dark. The black shelves just swallow the decor items up. So if I repaint what color? White? Would it look like I’m inside a white box? Then what to do with fireplace to make it stand out? Or maybe paint the walls a light gray. But how would that blend with floor? Maybe ok if I cover it with bigger rug? Rest of the house walls are agreeable gray. I like those. Looking for suggestions?
Thanks

Comments (36)When you get new paint mixed, it is more likely to be slightly different and when you add years of exposure and aging on top of that, you are likely to get some variation. Give it some more time -- even thought paint dries to the touch in minutes, it isn't completely dry for a lot longer. Also get away from it and see if you still see it -- or better yet, have someone else see if their eyes are drawn to any of the touch ups. Clean the wall where ever possible instead of using paint. Then see what you can do to help the places that need paint. If you have a cooperative paint person at your Lowe's, you might be able to get them to help you tweak the paint a bit. You might be able to get a sample pot of a darker shade that you could mix in. I have also been known -- well, not known, but I have done it -- get out my other cans of paint or even craft paint -- those 99 cent little bottles, and mix until I get what I need. Work with small amounts if that is all you need - take a cup or jar and mix a small amount -- working with dots of the tint paints until you get the hang of it. Test on index cards or posterboard, a plain white paper plate. I haven't done it often, but it has pulled me out of a couple of cracks. Also, use a small craft brush and only fill in what is essential. Another trick I use when touching up is to feather the paint out. sometimes adding a little water or using a wet brush to thin the paint as it goes over the existing paint. That is more likely to work on your living room paint (lighter color) than the red, but I've never tried it on a strong color. On the red, I'd be inclined to put the photos back up if the nicks don't show - change out the pictures in the frames if you are happier with that. Even if you repaint, there will be new spots that need retouching when you move your things out. I've bought two homes thinking I wouldn't have to paint most of the rooms only to move in and need to paint everything. Worst case, if you feel you need to paint the LR, get the color as close as you can and let the break of the white and wood stairs provide the break you need to stop. And if you do repaint anything, leave them the leftover paint for their move-in touch ups....See MoreSherwin Williams made an error with paint color mix/Should I repaint?
Comments (32)Double thumbs up to Lori for sharing a lot of good knowledge on color science. Some of the regional paint companies will have their paint chips organized very similarly because they are part of a trade group that creates the chipsets for them. I'm not sure if Dunn-Edwards is in one of this organizations though. Adrienne, I don't see any harm in trying to get the offending area repainted. It sounds to me like someone used the wrong formula, on that second color, or the database came up with a match and that second formula was used for some reason. I have some insight into the paint side of this. There is a database of tint formulas for all of the colors on the chip racks, as well as a way to match color samples that the customer sends in. Humans usually check these databases to make sure the formulas make sense. The formulas are also optimized to use less expensive tints. 90% of the time, the customer wants some form of white, gray or beige, so the paint is typically tinted with some combination of black, red oxide, yellow oxide, or raw umber. Magenta and gold/medium yellow is typically avoided if possible due to higher cost and lower durability (sadly, brighter organic pigments don't last as well as the oxides)....See MoreI’m repainting - What should I do with my fireplace?
Comments (16)Thanks everyone for the encouraging comments about the fireplace - maybe it's not so bad after all! Ha! Rugknots - you're probably right that I've gotten so used to it that I'm just thinking it looks dated. But we'll see what it looks like after the repainting. You've all got me thinking now about moving forward with getting rid of the entertainment center before I was really planning to! Perhaps I should really move THAT to Phase 1 and move the new furniture to Phase 2! Hmmm! tylerandabby - I never THOUGHT about taking off the side pieces! I know they are screwed into the main center piece (because I remember the RACKET the screwdriver made when the installer screwed them together!) But the top piece is connected to the bottom piece so I'm not sure I can take it apart. Something to investigate though. Thanks for the idea!...See MoreHelp! Should I repaint my kitchen?
Comments (10)Its best to wait until the cabinets are all installed and the kitchen is pretty much altogether. Walls can always be repainted. You may find that you like what you have, or you may not, but, at least everything is all in place, so you can pick a color that does work. Repainting before the cabinets are in, could result in it still not looking good with the white you pick, and then you would be repainting again....See MoreAnne Duke

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoI love it, it’s fab. I just think it needs an accent color(s) and especially lighter rug. Do a search for black living rooms — countless ideas come up.
Maybe live with a bit and see how you feel? It might grow on you … or not. :)jsnyder56
