Paint Color Advice

RE: Paint Color Advice Post By Maddy (Guest Post) (10/03/2008) P.S. Get lots of paint chips from your local home improvement store. The Beige colors will go nicely with the mahogany furniture.

I think without painting you should start with the furniture for the living room, set it up the way you want then sit in the sofa and just feel the room. If your sofa has color in it pick up the color in the sofa that is not as noticeable and use it to pick out the curtains and area rug. Do that with all the rooms in the house. It's more important to start with the furniture you like first, and now for the kitchen. I would paint just the cabinet doors with black enamel paint and white knobs for the doors after you paint them. It will appear to be a black and white kitchen with black/white accents of your choosing, or you can be bold and go with vivid red accents as well. I know you want to have it looking like it's a man's home with no feminine touches so it is something you have to do yourself with the things you like. If you paint the walls use earth tones, beige, sand or even a forest green they will make your rooms have a warm feeling, it's pretty hard to figure what you might want not knowing what things you like etc. I wish you the best of luck in your new home, it looks really beautiful and has so much potential.

My furniture is all a medium coloured wood, and I have a blue and white quilt cover and blue curtains. I have floorboards instead of carpet. My ceiling is an off white. Does anyone have any suggestions for painting ideas that match my quilt and blind? Katie from Adelaide, Candyland Answers: RE: Paint Color Advice Something in the peach/coral/apricot family would be good. Those colors make blues look brighter and warms them up, also. (04/07/2008) By perfume and powder RE: Paint Color Advice I would paint the walls a warm pale yellow. It will make your quilt and drapes look great like a country pale yellow.

I have browny red leather furniture and all the trim is a dark wood. What colour should I paint my walls. There isn't much natural light in the room. Tanya from Ontario Answers: RE: Paint Color Advice Instead of light yellow, do cream. Still has the warmth like yellow but not as cheap looking. (09/25/2006) RE: Paint Color Advice I would take "samples" of the floor and furniture colors and start comparing them to samples of cream colored paint . There are so many shades of cream - you will find one that reflects your colors just right. Also, lots of places will custom mix colors to suit your exact tint.

The walls have just been painted a nice shade of Yellow, however we can see the Entrace (foyer) from sitting on the navy furniture and we are in need of a contrasting color to paint our entrance way. Please help. Trisha from Canada Answers: RE: Paint Color Advice Brick red would be awesome! Very "Provence". (03/21/2006) By Linda RE: Paint Color Advice I'd continue the light yellow of the walls in the room you're talking about right into the Foyer area. It will provide continuity and yellow is the most welcoming of colors. (03/21/2006) By Carol in PA RE: Paint Color Advice A light shade of grey would look nice.
