Coordinating Paint Colors Shaker Beige/ Lenox Tan

10 years ago

Posted in "painting" but thought may get more responses here.

I am re-painting my home and have zoned in on BM Shaker Beige for the two story foyer ( which includes an upstairs living loft area) and a downstairs adjoining living room.

My dinning room is in a Laura Ashley burgundy ( which I still love so keeping the same).

The kitchen has three separate entry points ( dinning room, family room and back entryway/hallway). It also shares walls to another loft type area - so the dinning area in the kitchen is two stories with a lot of natural light. I think BM Lenox Tan will look good in the kitchen.

Left with choosing paint colors for the family room and a back hallway. Currently, both are in a Laura Ashley Gold 3. I still would like to keep the back hallway in a gold color and flexible about family room color. All of this area ( family room, kitchen and back hallway) is at the back of the house and run into each other.

In need of some gold color suggestions ( for back hallway) and maybe some greenish color suggestions for the family room. Taking into consideration that Lenox tan ( kitchen) sits right in the middle of these two areas.

One last thing - The family room has a huge fireplace ( red brick runs almost the span of an entire wall).


Thanks!

    My kitchen is Lenox tan and adjoining family room is shaker beige. I love both colors, so I would probably suggest continuing the Lenox tan into your family room. My kitchen has red cabinets and the Lenox tan looks great with them, so may work with your red brick.

    There's a lot of info there. Do you have any photos you can share? I think you'll get a lot more responses.

    You're talking about painting your foyer Shaker Beige which has a slight pink undertone. The burgundy paint would go well. I think Lenox would be fine for the kitchen, but then you're mentioning LA gold 3. I'm having a hard time picturing how this all flows together. It sounds like you have a lot of different colors and undertones going on.

    For a gold beige check out Shelburne Buff, Wilmington Tan. For yellow beige look at Monroe Bisque and Powell Buff.

    What type of greens were you looking for? Olive green? I like Olive Branch. For a sage look at BM Cheyenne Green.

    Thank you for all the input. I will be painting over the Laura Ashley gold in the back hallway, ( but was mentioning that I actually like that color- but just won't be the right tone go gold against the lenox tan). What I am leaning towards now is the shaker beige in the 2 story foyer ( which runs into an upstairs living loft area) and use same color in the downstairs formal living room as well. It will look nice with the burgundy dinning room.

    Instead of lenox tan in the kitchen - I am now leaning towards going a golden/light brownish color. I like sherwin Williams whole wheat ( and it would go well with the burgundy dinning area as well. Then, I could keep a golden color in back hallway- SW believable buff or BM monroe bisque).

    I would like to have a green color in the family room ( it's currently gold). The small square opening into the kitchen is going to be opened up to the ceiling and I will be adding a tall wainscot to the family room as well ( painted creamy white). All cabinetry will be replaced in the kitchen with a creamy white and will go to the ceiling.

    From my kitchen you can see the dinning room, family room and back hallway. The front foyer is not seen from the kitchen. Most of my home has greens, golds with some burgundy mixed in. However, for the front of the home ( 2 story foyer, loft area) wanted to go with more of a taupe ( as it shares walls with the upstairs loft/living area) and the upstairs bedrooms are off that loft area.

    All trim will be in BM mascarpone.

    Part of foyer runs into loft area

    Front hallway off living room and foyer

    Continuation Hallway off foyer

    Family Room ( opening will go up to ceiling). Also, thinking of putting tall wainscoting in this room painted in creamy white). Massive fireplace almost covers one entire wall.

    Kitchen ( cabinetry being replace with creamy white cabinets and will go up to ceiling. Appliances being replaced with stainless and lighting will be recessed). Flooring - debating lighter hardwood or tile.

    Back hallway ( off of kitchen). Flooring will be replaced with lighter hardwood or neutral tile
