Pictures???

Post pictures to show us what it all looks like - as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. ;)

You'll have to post some pics for us to provide worthwhile help.

Kitchen is not fully finished yet

I decided to bar stools color choice was a big mistake , but the whole room feels off. I'm open to changing any color accents or wall color even though it was just painted

The orange is basically only a few pillows and curtains, right? That would be the simplest/cheapest thing to replace. If you like the blue-gray of the barstools, bring that color into living room you can eliminate the orange and go for a different color scheme or incorporate the orange and gray by using patterns.

Thats a good idea, never thought of it that way. What color curtains would you suggest ?

I agree that the orange needs to go...the sofa is thelargest cream item in the room so you need something to counter balance it......the grey blue would work beautiuflly as would beige if you like monochromatic.

Nice balance of cream grey white and black for drama and interest

addition of blue as accent color to cream and white

Addition of white caramel and black to add conrast

So yes you need contrast both high and low and medium in the room to give it interest.

I like the pic that simstress and think it's easily achievable. Start by replacing the rug with a grey one with subtle print. Replace the curtains and throw pillows as well. Ex.

If you're keeping the barstools, look for a rug that contains a mix of greys including blue/grey.

Id change the wall color. The white cabinets doesn't look great against the cream walls.

And read this article about using cream and white together http://www.mariakillam.com/whiteandcream/

Thanks for all your input guys, I'm even more lost now. This is the dining space which I hate as well. I would like to replace both rugs and get new curtains and decor.

Would this rug look good in any locations to try to incorporate the kitchen colors ?

If the colors were reversed, it would be a good fit for your living room. You need a darker rug to balance the room. Start by removing the rugs in both spaces. Are you keeping the barstools? Can you post a wider pic of the living area that includes the wall to the right of the fireplace?

Your rug is too small for the DR and the mirror looks all wrong for the room. Here is an alternate option.

The rug below from West Elm would work with your barstools. I agree the mirror should be moved. I would eliminate the rug in the dining area for now and focus on the living room rug.https://www.westelm.com/products/allover-geo-rug-t2189/?pkey=crugs-flooring%7C4294963735&sku=713227&group=1

If you're not planning on changing your sofa anytime soon I would start with the pillows. Bring in a blend of orange and grey pillows to bring the gray back into the space. It's all about balance. Vice versa if you like the orange then bring in some orange accents into the kitchen; Like a bowl of oranges. Now you have balance and a nice flow that blends. Do the same when adding a rug and window treatments. Keep in mind the accent color you're doing with your neutrals and it will all tie in.

Hope this helps!

A comment on drapes/curtains, don't be skimpy on the fullness of the side panels, especially if they are made from a thin material. Don't tie them back. The rod should be higher and a bit wider than your present installation, (orange ones) so that the wall edge of the window is fully covered.

I don't think you failed miserably, you just need to make a few adjustments and additions.

Wall next to fireplace is bare as of now I did just purchase a console table to go underneath the wall art

That's the wall art that I love and not sure if it will go with anything if I switch things around .

That blue /grey combo looks really good with the island but if I did that how do I go about the dining room ? Thanks for all the input everyone

Is the paint job new? What's the colour called? It looks different in every photo

Paint was just finished two days ago ....it's called patience ....turned out my cream than I expected

You need to make your base scheme look as if you planned it.

Add throw pillows on that sofa, along with art to bring in some blue. as the fourth color.

Patience

These ready made drapes from RH Perennial line are one of the best buys. Hung properly, they look custom.

The above colors combine warm and cool greys,, should work for you.

Well, well…I guess James Kort didn’t like our suggestions. Moved on to greener pastures?
