    The small rug is just an example of the big one that will go in living room. Also, looking to buy entertainment center but wanting to paint first. Here are so inspirations, do you think they will go with rug?
    Thx for help!

    I don't normally give advice like this but it just seems so right for your space..... What about multiple colored walls.... Like one wall great blue, another red, and the remaining walls white or brown......ect. What colors are you leaning towards? I think you could chose more than one.

    That sounds perfect in my opinion! :)

    Be very careful with the orange. I would not go with a dark gray for any walls. Do the sample paint can test before choosing your colors. Your room is certainly large enough to use accent walls.

    Too much green?

    Congratulations on your baby! Such wonderful years. Your space is great: bright, and even floor, so baby's crawling/playing should be easily embraced and observed.

    I do see a pinky beige floor as a main color with wall paint selection. I remembered an article on undertones by design pro Maria Killam on just this. It may help you in your selection and if not, it's a great read anyways:

    Avamom, thank you! This could be why it bugs me so much! It helps in clearing that up and will read a little further in to it. So, I can finally paint.

    I'm loving it a little more. I needed color in my life. I still need to pick wall colors. So, reading back on past suggestions, I dropped the royal blue of entrance and may not go for dark grey. Perhaps, thing grey lines on the cream? Inspiration picture below.

    The accent in dining area will definitely be orange and the rest...cream OR light grey?

    Will it look too much like my son's nursery?

    Thoughts?

    I wouldn't cross that blue and gray out yet! Blue is a nice color to go with pinky beige. Here is another decorators take, for your consideration.

    In spite of good effort, I have not mastered the embed photo feature on Houzz.

    Hahha is blue is back on the table? It's crazy how with the new rug the entryway grayish blue looks much better. Thoughts?

    I these colors would compliment your blue.

    Thanks londonvon, the first grey is similar to nursery grey. I noticed that changing it from cream to that color lightened up the whole room. This is another view from the one I posted earlier.

    Your son's nursery is amazing! You have a good sense of colors. Might you place the rug sample next to the blue/gray entry wall for us to see tones?

    Avamom, thx! It's the only room without the cream! My husband is fine with grey on the rest of the space but light grey...not sure how that will look.

    Which orange with the space and with this light grey?
  • 11 years ago

    Your baby is beautiful! How precious. He will love your space, it's truly wonderful!

    Two things: why not that orange shown as a single narrow ring in rug in your first post above? Second: BM Coventry Gray is a wonderful blue gray albeit there too, could you pick color close to rug blue? Also thought could you paint those vertical columns as in your inspiration photo.

    Actually, looking at your rug as well as out your window, it appears that orange color is more like terra cotta color. I know Benjamin Moore has a nice terra cotta as I used it in a north room and it was perfect.

    ooo the 1st orange is amazing n perfection. GET IT! :)
  • 11 years ago
    Thanks! He is loving it. Yes, I think that first orange will be the one I pick, with a lighter grey or cream. Hahha one color down, now to match it. Yes Avamom. I will paint column too and will check the suggested color out. Thanks!
