I suggest sage green throughout. It goes well with warmer tones.

@decoenthusiaste in the living room too?

You might also want to take a look at SW Sea Salt. It sometimes looks greenish, and sometimes looks a bit bluish. It is coastal colors. Since you mentioned both blues and green, you may also want to take a look at SW Watery. You could also check out SW Rainwashed and SW Tidewater.

Wow, what a pretty, uncluttered and inviting home you have!

Do you have some inspiration photo's to share?

I get more of a chalet/traditional vibe than a costal vibe within your home from these pics.

Are you open to bringing in prints and graphic design elements?

Do you have a rug, or picture that you love? Something we may use to borrow a color from?

I'd paint all the walls and ceiling BM Super White (no undertones) and go with the blues and greens in furnishings, etc.

I'd lighten the dining room table to a glass top to lighten the heavyness of all the wood.

a large area rug in the living room in your desired Light greens and blues.

If you live in or near a major metro the flagship Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore stores might have color consultants who will come out to your house for a nominal fee to recommend paint colors. If you're doing the whole house it would be well worth it. It could save you a lot of expensive and time consuming sampling. Don't get me wrong - you should still sample - but you should be starting closer to what you're going to end up with if you use a color consultant. They can also help with using different colors in different rooms that coordinate if you don't want to use the same color throughout.

You have mostly creams, browns tans between the floor, cabinets, countertops and wood trim. The wood is beautiful. I would want to help the wood stand out and be the star.

I think I would probably paint the walls a much lighter white/neutral that works well with all the finishes that must stay. I love Sea Salt, but it may be too clean against the countertops and flooring and it is a color I use in bathrooms/bedrooms more than living spaces. A light creamy white will lighten and brighten the room and making sure you have 4000-5000 k lighting will make the rooms look lighter and brighter.

I would add color through art, area rug, pillows, décor and furnishings.

I would also recolor the grout in the kitchen. It really has an amazing impact on the overall feel of a room.

Did my whole home in my last home - did my foyer in my current home. I used a product called Polyblend grout renew. Only issue I have had was in my last home near the stove I didn't clean well enough to remove all the grease and had a few spaces where the color lifted. I simply cleaned again and re-did those spots and it didn't lift again. Lived with the recolored grout for about 5 years before moving.

So you have a home that has Arts & Crafts or Mission Style details. You'll never push it to coastal anything unless you let go of all that cherry wood

The colors of nature always complement the cherry wood color.

The pastel colors have a very hard time standing up to the intensity of cherry wood as you can see in the image below.

I believe you can combine a bright blue and white with your cherry details and come out with a successful solution.

With the cherry color it will be really hard to go coastal. I think "crisp" is the closest that you can get. I would personally go with a white like SW Snowbound. It has a bit of red-orange undertone, but it isn't obvious and should help the wood look a bit more neutral. It would also emphasize the light sandy color in your tile and countertops. Switching out your light fixtures to something with bubble glass would help a lot and not be crazy expensive.

Then use lots of blues and greens in your decorating. For the living room I would also use Snowbound, but on the fireplace wall you could go with SW Naval or Benjamin Moore Hale Navy.

If you hate the idea of a white-white, you might like SW Oyster White. It will lighten things up, but I don't know that it would look super coastal.

Sounds like you aren't married to a beachy vibe (since you said "if possible"), but if you are, I really think it would be worth it to paint the cabinets. That would really give you a whole new look.
