Wall color for dining room

13 years ago
I've ordered some upholstered dining room chairs that have a green, light blue and gold in them although overall they are somewhat neutral. The art on the walls is quite bright so I don't want to detract from that but believe I need a color. Any thoughts?

    Could you share pics of the artwork and let us know what colors are in the carpet? (looks mauve and blue on my screen)?

    How about a Wedgewood type blue for the wall color?

    I agree with Darzy's choice because it will complement to your chairs but I may suggest light blue or turquoise.

    I would suggest taking a color that is in your room and using it on your wall.. light blue would match the rug but there are a million blues. . Is there a prominent color in your artwork? My suggestion is to use the Color911 app to nail down the exact color. I created this app for help with color. One of he may features is to take a photograph and pull the colors out of it. If you photograph our rug you can get the right blue to match. Just enlarge the color and when you go to the paint store they can match it. It's a great tool that way. It's a really pretty room, I think the blue might have an open and airy feel which would look great.

    The davenport tan is too close to the carpet color. Kensington blue may work. Thanks

    I don't think I would use the orange, brown and green picture in this particular room. If you use the back ground color that's on your rug (is it a taupe?) as your wall color, your artwork will really pop. Or... select a blue from your fabric. MUST take to paint store for exact blue. Blues are tricky!

    here are the chips for your art. Choose a color that is close to a similar color in all of them, then they will coordinate

    In this case, it could be neutral ground, fragile beauty, or unique gray

    From your description I would do something like BM Rushing River. The only thing I am wondering about i the trim around the windows.....Is it white and not coming across that way in your picture? The baseboards look crisp white and the window trim looks very off wihite?

    Who makes SW paint?

    Trim was a different color but want to switch it back to white.

    SW is short for Sherwin-Williams

    A creamy white or decorators white would be a good choice.

    What about restoration Hardware's Silver Sage? It's a blue/green/grey. It looks fab with golds and the oranges and rusts in your artwork
