Have you consider a colour like "bone"? Love the colour of your floors and cabinets (I am partial to "any and all types of" wood). Looks as if you are going to have a beautiful home ...

Thank-you! In not considered "bone" but will research this. I have never painted a house before as we have rented and walls have been bare/neutral for way too long! I'm looking to feel "home" cozzy, modern...

Thank-you Jan! I was leaning towards gray tones, but nervous it would look off.

Honestly? Almost ANY paint is better than what is there : ) YIKES! Nice warmth is all you need

You have a lot of warm tones with cabinet and flooring. Greige might be a better option than gray

Have fun! Take home paint samples so you can see them with your lighting, and remember they'll look darker when you've covered the whole walls...

A warm gray is basically a "greige'...... but the direct and complimentary tone on the reddish tone of flooring and your cabinetry (and it's opposite on the color wheel) is green. Hence the greenish hue to the gray and the opposite of that red toned flooring and cabinetry.

All paint colors have a formula, and the formula can be tweaked with custom mixing. Isolate ANY chip on a color chip card, hold it alone and against white......too deep? Go up a shade, or have them cut it in half when they "shoot" the formula. You can always ADD pigments, and adjust.

In any scenario, you always want to give your eye the best chance to really "see" the color. Always isolate it. A mat board for testing,...... a little disposable brush, and test dry right there in the paint store. Leave a swath of white on the card.

Skip the big box stores, a good paint store is experienced and more patient. Don't go on home joe Saturday, and aim for the early afternoon on a weekday.

After that, its get brave an roll a WALL. Not the inky dinky sample swatches over orange paint. ...........you'll never get a sense of the color that way in YOUR room.

A light warm greige would look modern. See the sellers' rug in the photo? When your eye blends the two stripe colrs together, the result goes well with floor and cabinets. Or try this fashionable light yellow green wall paint, shown with cherry cabinets:

Got it Jen! I'll be working with a local paint store vs big box! This is all good food for thought.

Apple-pie, I like that yellow pallet idea too, Could work well in the open concept with a splash of colour in some artwork.

I think a gray tone would look very nice; it appears that your rug is in that tone and it looks great! No reason it wouldn't look good elsewhere.

Update! Paint has been chosen, we went with Collingwood by Benjamin moore for the entire house except for bedrooms. For Master, we chose tapestry beige also by BM
question is, what to do about that ceiling fan??? We won't use it as we have central AC. Just a regular dome, I feel will look lost.
Suggestions?

A statement chandelier would be a great option to replace the fan if you really do not plan on using it. What is the furniture style for the room?

furniture

what would you consider a statement chandelier?

Depends what you like!

oh! wow that does look beautiful. thanks for the suggestions!

Whoops! Sorry, I had not been on Houzz in a while. lynartist is spot on with what I meant by statement chandeliers and found some great ones. Any of those would look good with your furniture, since it has such clean lines. I really like the 3rd one.
