Color Question
Hello, we are in dire need of advice on color coordinating, please. First of all, pardon the mess. The LR room (right) is cleared out for tomorrow's delivery of medium beige carpeting (with a hint of green) and everything is in the DR (left.) We are undecided on LR wall color; however, the DR is done, Benjamin Moore "Mt. St. Anne" wall color and sample of area rug.
Please help us coordinate colors. I really like yellow (the majority of the color show (beige) was on the walls when we moved in, so we are trying to steer away from heavy beiges/browns as the entire house was filed with it. Also, the adjoining kitchen is a very similar color., also finished. The sample paint next to the blue is BM Healing Aloel, but I'm worried it's too "minty" looking and doesn't go? Thank you all!!

7 years agoI'm afraid with that green on the wall and your " hint of green" in your carpet you may be in for more green than you want! The only way you can make this work into two rooms is to add a separation between them! A line down the middle of the wall doesn't cut it! Adding a bump out from the soffit to the half wall could work if you really wanted to but why not just continue the color the whole way across the wall!

Comments (2)This just popped up , but I see it is quite old . Did you decide on paint colours ? The roof looks almost a brown tone in the photos , but you say it is dark grey . I assume you don't want to paint that ? If you do , go more charcoal IMO . If you don't , I'm assumimg it will look several shades darker with your wall colour choices . There is a roller door on the garage that appears to be a nice shade of orangey yellow . Personally , I would go with your colour choices , but do all the doors ( roller doors , wooden doors ) and gutterings in that ochre shade . Your terrace I would do in a charcoal , but with the top rail either in the orangey yellow , or a really crisp white . I know that sounds a bit 70's ( although they would have added a lot of ranch brown back then haha ! ) but against the light grey I suspect it would work together well , and look the part ....See MoreQuestion on Bollene Pendant Large

Comments (4)I wouldn't do skirtings . I'd do the floor tile for '1 tile' up the wall ( assume they are 200 x 200 or 300 x 300 -- cut them if 400 or 600 ) . Personally , I'd probably even do the 'silver' tiled areas in that 1 height darker tile too , as it would make the whole room look more 'level' , but thats up to you and your tiler ....See More

7 years agoUnfortunately, the house does not get a lot of light, so, while we love the pop of blue, it would truly be too darkening if all over. Also, the carpet installed and is a little darker than expected with no green. Majority ruled and green is "out!" We're now looking at BM Sandy Shores 948 or Sparkling Wine 949, perhaps? Other suggestions? Need a foyer color as well. The kitchen and dining room are recently painted and as you can see, vinyl "wood" is being installed. Help me make decisions so I can get my house back in order, please, oh, please.
