Check out Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams. It's a lovely light blue/gray/green. It's hard to see from the pictures if you have some green in the rug. Good luck!

If nothing else then Kilim Beige. This is not the way to choose a color. I would ask for more time.

Kilim Beige is very versatile and will work with your furnishings. Do you open your shutters? I would not close them until nighttime. Overhead lighting is too harsh anyway.....so just use plenty of lamps.

Accessible beige or kilim beige

Look for a warm off-white slightly lighter than your carpet color.

Not sure why so many people are against overhead lighting. It is in all kitchens, isn't it? We have always had ceiling fans with lights in our living room, family room and music room as well as exercise room. Would not be without it! When we go to a relative's home with no overhead lighting, it is miserably dark with just lamp lighting in the evening. So, consider it. Especially thru the winter months, overhead lighting helps keep the depressing early darkness at bay. Then paint the room a light beige. You can't go wrong with that.

agree with divinemrsm. We had a long family room that had five full height windows and still felt dark with no overhead lighting. Rather than tear up the entire ceiling I mounted two semi-flush fixtures (one at each end) and the difference in light was dramatic. By doing two semi-flush instead of multiple cans, the electrician was able to snake the wire along joists and not tear up the ceiling. No drywall repair required.

With that said, we have accessible beige in one room and it is a nice color.

The problem with having just overhead lighting is that it's very unflattering... casts weird shadows on people & objects & art in the room. Even in my kitchen I have under cabinet lighting, pendants in addition to recessed ceiling lights. Kitchen lighting is more task oriented whereas lighting in other rooms. ( other than baths) is more for creating a relaxing, attractive ambience. All my lighting in my house is on "dimmers". ( except for the baths where as much lighting as possible needed the older I get :). )

Bailey, lighting is a personal choice. We don't seem to notice unflattering shadows from the overhead lighting. In the kitchen we most often use the overhead can lights altho there is additional lighting over the sink, table and island that we call on according to need. Our can lights have a dimmer which I absolutely can't stand, so I never use! Ha ha. So we all have our own preferences.
