hello everyone,

6 years ago

we will be building a new house with mainly grey floors and walls which will be somewhat of farm style. Will cherry wood dining room furniture look okay. I have a beautiful china closet. table and chairs but not sure if it will look good. Trying to decide whether to sell and buy new grey furniture. Will the cherry clash with new grey cabinets , floors, walls. Thankyou for being there and helping. Stay safe and health. . If you can direct me where I can see pictures would really appreciate it as I am more of a visual person. Thank you again

    Sure you can use your cherrywood furniture. Gray is a neutral. Gray walls and floors plus gray furniture is way too much gray.

    It can work, but you will have to choose the grays carefully. Gray floors, gray walls, gray cabinets and gray furniture would be a lot of gray.


    Also, you might get more response if you try a different post title, one related to your question. I think you can change it for 60 minutes after you post.

    Are you set on gray? It seems a bit trendy to me and since the trend has been around for a while, I would prefer more neutral hard finishes for my house.

    Yes be careful that you don't overload on the gray. You can select gray features without painting your walls gray also.

    You said you "will be building". Does that mean you will be able to change from the gray floors? I am saying that for a couple of reasons. Gray floors aren't really the farm style you mentioned. Floors also dictate so much of everything else in house - the furniture, rugs, cabinetry, paint color. When you are pinned to gray floors, you will have to allow for them in every design choice you make. Easier would be a neutral wood color like natural oak. Goes with everything, won't go out of style. Would still go with your cherry furniture. And would align with the farm style look you are going for.

    Please don't do gray

    These popular home trends are predicted to go out of style in 2020

    From the article linked above -

    "The gray on gray on gray trend has got to go," one designer pleads, while many others chimed in that the all-gray or all-white look is too sterile and cold for an everyday living. In fact, the majority of designers agreed that we're going to see less cool grays and whites in 2020. "Gray will move into an accent position, and no longer be a main color," one said.

    What will replace it? "Warmer colors will be stronger than ever in the coming year," predicts our own major appliances and home design editor, Cindy Bailen, who says she finds all-gray rooms depressing. Both she and the Sherwin-Williams panel are hopeful for palettes that include beige, warmer neutrals, and greens (Behr's 2020 color of the year is a sage green shade).


    Designers also say there will be more of a focus on more playful decorating, when it comes to both colors and textures. One expert responded, "I feel like design trends are now leaning toward a mix/match style where just about anything goes together and where things should definitely NOT match!"

    Any help would be sooooooooo welcomed regarding what type of lighting for a modern farmhouse house plan. Will need light above island, light above dining room table which will be by the french doors going out to deck and one in entry way. Thank you in advance to everyone that takes the time to help in any way. Stay healthy everyone!!

    Based on one photo I would turn the island ninety degrees and make it larger. These are the plans from the builder, have you met with the cabinet salesperson yet?

    thank you so much. Have a furniture dilemma question. I will have cherry china closet with cherry table by french doors. I have not bought living room furniture which will be to the right as I walk into the front door. The wall to left as I walk in I would like to purchase a 60 inch buffet/server. Do not know if it should match the cherry furniture or do I match the new living room furniture which will be slate gray or black? Thank you. I really do appreciate being able to reach out to you more than you know!!!!
