I am painting my house and the living room and dining room are one long room. The kitchen opens into the dining alcove. How do I know where on the wall to stop painting the kitchen (yellow) and start the color for the dining/living room?

Someone suggested the point where the cabinets end (there is kitchen countertop/bar area which connects kitchen/dining rooms. Also, do I have to follow a certain color scheme. I really don't like the tan/cream/beige colors and would like to do the dining room/living room in a green/sage shade. Any suggestions.

Thanks
Angie from Allen Park, MI

Always paint to the end of a wall. If you try to change the color in the middle of a wall, it will be very noticeable. If you have a wall that goes from one distinct area to another, choose a color for that wall that works for both areas.

On a decorating show, I saw where they used a floor to ceiling curtain panel, hung it on a swing arm hook on one wall, then gathered the bottom to that wall with a tieback. You never have to move it, yet it seemed to separate the rooms into their own spaces, plus you could use colors of each room to "tie" them together. Just a thought!

You could put up a hanging pot of silk flowers using your green and yellow colors to help blend the spaces.

Love & Prayers,

To divide the 2 spaces you could wallpaper the dining room with a color that is complementary to the kitchen and separate the two with a vertical chair rail.
Or wallpaper part of the dining room wall and paint the other half (top or bottom) with the kitchen color. Separate with a chair rail.

It is YOUR space...you decide where the colours change...when you do this, varathane a nice piece of wooden trim (from your home hardware store) & have it placed there to "divide" the two spaces. Greens & yellows look pretty together, so you should easily be able to make things blend...just make sure to put something green in your yellow space (something ornamental) & something yellow in your green space (flowers?), to help them blend more easily. Have fun! Patsy
