For a wall color take a look at Collingwood by Benjamin Moore. I chose it for our small, windowless bathroom that has light green flooring and brass light fixtures that I think are close in color to yours. I’m very pleased with how it turned out, and I chose it because it said it was a gray with greenish undertones, so I think it would complement your bench.

Looks like "pebble" is pale gray in the Cambria Quartz Swanbridge

Look at the palette in the last photo you posted for inspiration. For a windowless space, and to better coordinate with the jade bench, I would use warm whites, beiges, and taupes, and green - not gray. You could paint the walls a warm white and use a very soft jade color on the cabinets.

Or paint the walls a soft green with white cabinets. Green is a fresh, calming neutral. Try SW Liveable Green.

That bench is stunning, DK Haas! What a beautiful starting point. (Your kitchen is gorgeous darbuka.)

Tartanmeup- Thank you I bought it 20-years ago from a lovely Korean lady.'s small furniture boutique. My spouse isn't so keen on this piece, sadly. So, I greatly appreciate your compliment. Using this piece in this room, is both a help and a hindrance as I attempt to find coordinaitng colors.

CaliDesign,. Thank you for the suggestions, as I love those neutrals.

I need opinions.... DH is impatient for wall and cabinet paint color selections without comparing them to countertop or backsplash. He says paint color first, then make the other choices,and I say a plan is needed first. As I said, I prefer light colored neutrals, like the inspiration room! including the marble look Quartz with antique brass hardware that will work woth the bench, whereas DH says nickel hardware. He says the bench colors are not important and I say the colors must be considered. So, he said SW Sea Salt for the walls, which is a shade lighter than SW Comfort Gray a close match to the bench.

I hesitate re: Sea Salt because I really don't want a nursery look. Every SeaSalt room I see has white cabinets, which look nursery to me. He leans to coastal and nickel, whereas I lean to neutral contemporary with antique brass, bronze

---WOULD SW Sea Salt reduce the contrast in the room and make the space feel larger?

Sea Salt Example:

Would white cabinets and antique brass hardware like these look okay?

Have you tried capturing the colours of the bench with a SW or BM app like ColorSnap? That could be a good starting point. I'm not familiar with Sea Salt beyond this forum but I've never thought 'nursery' when I've seen it paired with white.

BM Woodland White is a very light version of BM Antique Jade, which would give you color without the blue in Sea Salt. It would be beautiful with white cabinets and antique brass. I think Sea Salt would look great also though.

Today, I've been searching for a ceiling light fixture. The room will have can lights, but DH says a chandelier or other light is possible too. I've always thought of the light as the jewelry for a room, but would that be overkill when using this carved bench?

Ive looked at clover, scallop, wood bead, laser cut brass, chinoiserie, orb, lantern, lotus, birdcage, lantern, drum?

My head hurts. I value your insights and other suggestions

These are all lovely. My favourites are 1, 2, 3 and 5. A pretty chandelier with your bench is a necessity, imo, not overkill. :) What did your pretty blue and white inspo room have for lighting?

Tartanmeuup- Thank you for your input! Those were my favs too

I hadn't even thought to look at the original inspiration room-until now.

The De Gournay wallpaper is the star in this room to be sure. I hadn't even noticed the lighting, but I tracked the teardrop light to Villa Verde lighting in UK. I'm pretty sure thst I need a light that has more oomph. My room has everything along one wall. The bench will sit alone on the opposite wall, with a mirror above it maybe .

Oh Gosh! I love this room! My bench has a similar vibe, but lacks the grand impact of beautiful DeGournay.

Pretty hardware! That DeGournay is something else. Certainly makes the inspiration room. You had found something similar, no? Did you get any samples? Perhaps you could get something that could could be framed, in a colourway that harmonizes with your bench? I'm thinking of that instead of a mirror but perhaps you do need a mirror in the space. ETA: I came across this article yesterday and thought of you. Not suggesting you get speakers in the room, just thought you'd appreciate the research. :)

OMG! What a coincidence! Thank you for sending this link.

A few weeks ago, a neighbor had a marimba band playing in their backyard mid-morning. Ordinarily, my doggies would bark incessantly at hearing the human voices. However, while the music played, they sat on the shady grass and faced the direction of the music with interest- heads cocking to the side. However, the doggies barked at the crotchety old man yelling at the neighbors to be quiet. After all, it was only 10:30 A.M.

Haha. That must have been cool to see and hear. There's still so much we don't know about our furry friends. Always makes me smile to come across research like that.
