Wall paint color to go with olive green couches
Comments (19)Thanks again everyone for all the suggestions! It's been a few weeks since I've been to his house but his couches are fairly dark and if I had to choose if they were more "yellowy" or "brown", I'd choose brown. I've added Basket Beige, Natural Beech, and Sea Spray to my list to check out. I'm hoping to get a mix of samples ranging from the gray side to the more yellow side. I was thinking that by going with more of the taupe/gray tone, his olive/brownish couches would pop out and I'd add some natural woven roman shades to add some warmth to the room. I think the floors he's picking are really really dark....an espresso color....See MoreShould I go with Green Mountain Soapstone ?
Comments (3)My Green Mountain Original came from Garden State Soapstone, which is further south on the NJ Turnpike(95) than M.Tex. (probably an hour or more - off exit 8A if you are coming north). Garden State now carries a large variety of stone and Jay is great to work with. When I bought my soapstone, he only carried GM Original and Ice Flower but I didn't care because I fell in love with the GM. Here is my island...and yes, those are little gold flecks in the stone. I don't oil mine but here is what it looks like if you do. Garden State Soapstone is worth a visit. No affiliation, just a happy customer.

Comments (42)Hi again Erina -- When it comes to getting it "right" it's all about testing colors and seeing how YOU feel with them! So much of this comes down to finding a color(s) that work with your home + how you live in it + your innate preferences. [This gets more complicated if you live with someone who has different preferences!] I absolutely think you should explore the blush/pink idea. But I think we've all been there when we can envision something in our head and then have to go to Plan B when our sample is way off and it's not really a matter of choosing a close sibling. So I like to have backups in mind. ;) It's a little funny because a lot of the other color suggestions I have seem to be in line with the art over your sofa (from what I can see of it). The first one is actually for: the 2 blushes/pinks (the medium terracotta and the lighter warm blush) AND the medium taupe color (but is it more or less your current DR color?) ...and I think you could use 2 of the 3 in your LR/DR vs just a single shade for both Here's another example of a taupe (see ceiling!) Here are a few possibilities (grey and cognac already mentioned upthread) -- slate-y blue-grey (you could go with a lighter shade) and butter yellow (I know you nixed the deeper blues upthread but the warm medium blue IS lighter and brighter so I mention it just in case, ha!) Here's a golden brown -- you'd have to evaluate against your floors: Here's that butter yellow and pale blue-grey again in a better example of the colors currently in your rooms (I don't think you're wanting a leaf green but it's here for you if you need it)...See MoreWhich sofa should I go with?
Comments (4)The green sofa is a great neutral to build off from. You should be able to find art that compliments the color, add some dramatic contrasting colored pillows, include a rug with a touch of the green, add some gold/brass table lamps on fun MCM tables and end the look with a great coffee table. I have a home filled with grey but each room has some dramatic color to warm it up....See MoreRelated Professionals
