I would like to paint a striped deep red color on the bottom, but I have burgundy colored carpet in the living room that is open to the dining room and think the color that I would like to paint below the chair rail would clash. I was thinking about having the color on top of the chair rail be lighter than the bottom, and have the kitchen a different color than the dining room's colors.
My other rooms are painted in neutral colors, but I don't want creams in my kitchen/dining room. Any suggestions? I'm at my wits' end! I have a picture of the one wall where you can see the chair rail (which is the same color as my cabinets, and the burgundy carpet) Thanks!

The dining room opens up to the kitchen which then in turn turns into a hallway with a single window leading out to our garage. I was thinking of doing homberg gray by sherwin williams on the bottom in a striped pattern (in glossy and semi gloss finish maybe?) and I'm stuck as far as what to use for the color on the top and in the kitchen. Any suggestions?

The main question is : does your kitchen and dining room open up to each other or are they self contained? If they are self contained the colors can be different, if they are open they will need to match or coordinate to avoid clashing. You need a paint color that will make the wood POP! This needs contrast for the paint to the wood. The colors you have chosen is not enough to contrast. Good luck.

I did a bit of research for you on the 'net. Colors that work well with burgundy are gold, pumpkin, terra cotta, rose, hunter green, royal blue, and copper. If you have a color wheel, create an imaginary triangle having one point be the burgundy. Those other two colors compliment the burgundy.
If you choose the gold, pumpkin, terracotta or copper, they should already compliment the oak wood.

How about mauve? It's in the same color family as burgundy (red/pink mixed with blue) and would blend with the carpet.
I am painting my house and the living room and dining room are one long room. The kitchen opens into the dining alcove.
My kitchen and dining room are an open concept with 2 walls 4ft wide separating the living room. The opening is 8ft. I am painting one wall in living room red and the wall behind the kitchen cabinets is also red. Other walls in the living room are a creamy beige color. I would like to paint the other wall in dining room pale sage green or a yellow.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I have an open kitchen, dining room, and front room that all connect. The ceilings are 10ft tall with coffer ceilings. My couches are brown leather.
