You have the makings of a great urban loft space! If you want to draw on the colours in your paint treatment (stripes) in the foyer, then I think you have to eliminate orange as accent colour in kitchen (tile or paint). I don't think it will do much for the cabinet colour and vice/versa. Blue or grey or a mixture of both would work as tiles. Try and then find a co-ordinating area rug for under the dining room table to tie it all together. Hope this helps. Good luck from Montreal!

Update- still working....adjoining floors were refinished and hardwood in hallway installed. Still have wheel and glass end table project to complete and looking for some color accessories for coffee table, maybe another lamp etc. Tried swapping the brown and green chair as suggested, but the brown one is too large in scale and looked wrong by the window. The best place visually is where it is until it wears out and I can replace. :-). Rug under sofa is okay and pulls the colors form the sofa in a quiet way - if the right rug shows up - I will replace. Working on some additional throw pillows of smaller size that pull in the border of the curtains. Adjoining red wall dining/morning room - the art will be lowered - it is hung from a previous higher cabinet that was there before. Will start putting some current things in storage and add color and detail as things are found. Thanks to all of you I probably cut the time to do this down by 80%! Having the critical friend eye to suggest or contribute was very helpful and still is! Thank you again.

Yes I do.. It was just nice to compare the two colours by looking at the advice colour on the left hand side of the page..that way you can compare the colours when you bring the colour on the page. (Hope that makes sense)

Are you sure that the photo is Light Mist? I looked at Hardie samples with our builder and Light Mist appeared much lighter than this...but of course it's always difficult to tell from outdoor pictures! I was trying to achieve something similar to Light Mist and chose SW Aloof Gray as the Light Mist seemed a little too blue for me. But Aloof Gray is a lighter than this photo. SW Light French Gray seems like a close match. Have you tried to plug this photo into the SW color analyzer? Good luck!
