Comments (22)There are many ways to go. I used a creamy slightly beige color - just enough to set off my white trim. My personal preference is for a light kitchen. Pictures of my oak kitchen are in my "my pics" idea book. I also have white appliances....See MoreWhat chairs would go best with a table I bought?
Comments (21)anna, couldn't find a source for that one. but similar ones: Uttermost Marlow-Bellacor Lucide integrated LED-AMazon ET Hoopla, Lampsplus this one is different. Alluria you could do two of these large pendants at each end of the table https://www.lampsplus.com/products/chandeliers/style_contemporary/color_black/usage_dining-@-living-room/page_3/ the mini blinds don't really fit w/the modern vibe. try something like these smart motorized blinds (cellulars maybe) and Luxaflex-pirouette blinds. these are Hunter-Douglas and come in a slew of colors. or some black woven woods https://www.blinds.com/pla/blindscom-woven-wood-shade/501858 BTW,,blinds.com is having a big sale right now. I've order 10 items from them. they have excellent customer service....See MoreWhat paint colours would go well with my kitchen?
Comments (12)Using pops of color is a perfectly acceptable answer. I generally do neutrals throughout the main living area, but add more color to bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry, Red is a strong color, so it is often better to add some touches rather than paint a whole room. I would try a few whites/off whites, try to get a white with a creamy undertone. Your wood trim and floors are perfect for a white/off white background. You also want to test some different lighting. I like daylight bulbs (5000 k), but I use a lot of purples in my décor and any yellow in the lighting turns purples to mud. It is a very white light with just the tiniest bit of yellow. It is not blue - you will hear that it is blue, but it isn't. The worlds top color experts set the standard for daylight The lower the K value the more yellow the light 2700 k only works in a few homes (Think historic Colonial or Tudor home with lots of dark woods and rich fall colors). Some people prefer a bit more warmth, some prefer less warmth. People in lower latitudes seem to have a preference for higher K values than those in colder climates. Many designers are designating 4000k as the end all be all perfect lighting, but you have to like the feeling that the lighting color creates. Test a couple of light bulb colors in a pair of bedroom lamps and see what feels good to you. Decide on lighting before picking your paint color as the light will change the appearance of the paint color. I would choose a white, off white or light color - something noticeably lighter than your cabinets. I would choose warmer, creamier tones. Something between the orange yellow of the cabinets and the greener tones in the counter. Here are a bunch that are where I would start. I love Creamy, Cotton White and Icing, but you should text a couple of others and see what they look like in your home. Icing is hands down my favorite white, but it has to work for you, in your home, with your lighting and your colors, not mine. You can get the Devine Icing at Benjamin Moore (company is no longer in existence, but the BM version is dead on.)...See MoreWhat color paint would go with wallpaper

PRO2 years agolast modified: 2 years agogreat choices.
can you wait to paint until everything is installed? so much easier to choose a color at that point.
If you like a soft gray, look at BM Calm.
(BTW, your dad isn't Samuel, is it??)
White walls is also a nice choice.
