My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

The correct yellow

9 years ago

Trying to find the correct yellow/tan for a lg rectangular room that includes the kitchen and family room, w little natural lighting and poor lighting. Cabinets are off white w brown pulled through them, Mediterranean look. Floors are a medium oak.

    Great choice if you go for yellow since that color reflects light almost as much as white and gives you a warmer tone. I would try to grayish shade, something that doesn't scream yellow. That way, it will play well with the brown on the floor. =)
