Need help with first floor paint colors

11 years ago

We are remodeling the first floor of our colonial home and need help with our paint colors. It is a traditional colonial with the formal living room and dining room in the front of the house and the kitchen and family room in the back. We painted two rooms colors that we like but we are not sure if they go well together. The family room and kitchen are Sherwin Williams Rare Gray (looks a little green) and the dining room is Sherwin Williams Online (the blueish color). These are the two colors that we are worried about going together. We also have Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray in the entry and formal living room. Any thoughts or recommendations would be very helpful! We are open to other paint color suggestions if you don't these all go well together (preferably to replace the dining room color and keep the others, since it would be less work ).

Thank you so much!

Love the colors you have selected so far. Very calming, which was my goal when choosing paint for our new house. Sage green, grey/griege, some blue. Check out my Stoney Creek ideabook for pictures....I think you are on the right track already, though.

If you will add something such as Artwork incorporating the green in the dining room it will work Beautifully. It doesn't need to match - just blend some of the colors together so that the rooms flow smoothly into one another. I would do the same in the kitchen but again, using Stunning Art with additional colors that keep your home interesting.

Thank you all for the comments! We are just worried about having too many colors on the first floor. Are three distinctively different colors okay?

It seems like they're not really three distinctive colors - they go together nicely. But I wouldn't add any more. Pick an accent color to use throughout. For example, I think a touch of navy might look nice in each room.

It's Beautiful and you have just the right amount of colors which flow nicely. Once you move in, hang pictures and place furniture, the rooms will flow well together and look much different.
