Paint choice dilemma...Please Help!
Comments (11)I think that with such grand ceilings, and white tile, darker paint will enhance the lightness of the floor, and the house risks feeling not grounded enough. Which on the other hand can be interesting..if it is intentional. For example, I decided on medium-dark floor in my current home with very high ceilings, because I wanted to ground it, didn't want the feeling of a ballroom. But I could go with light flooring and it would still be fine, it would just give a totally different mood. There are designers and color specialists that do color consultations, sometimes even on internet. Maria Killiam's blog comes to mind. Laurel Bern's blog comes to mind. I'm sure there are many more. It's not exactly cheap, but it is just that-color consultation only. Also, I don't know about the paint stores, but couple designers I met in other stores were nothing short of amazing-able to help so much without even seeing the space. They drew the space as I tried to explain, and their renderings were better than anything I could ever draw, even though I knew the house, and they heard about it for the first time in their life.. It doesn't happen often I must say, but when it does-oh wow. You're in luck. So yes, definitely check with your local paint store..you might just meet somebody brilliant there, whose input will be priceless....See MoreHelp With Benjamin Moore Color Dilemma PLEASE!

Comments (41)well, you could always remove the chair rail. but yes, if you paint the walls, you'll have to pick the same color to carry out through those adjoining halls I think Pale Oak, , Smoke Embers, Nimbus, or Light pewter would all be lovely in your space. I'd also hang a nice piece of art here to tie in the pale aqua chairs, maybe to some pillows on the sofa w/those colors. the fireplace/mantle is way too traditional looking. I'd remove everything. if you want more Boho, try some zellige tile on the surround I love this selection^ or a cement tile with natural wood mantle or, do more of a modern surround w/a marble tile at the very least, do a diff surround w/out the fluting...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
