Wall Paint Color for a Room w/ A Lot of Oak
6 years ago
Hi Houzz community, seeking suggestions on wall/ceiling color for my dining room w/ a lot of oak (see pic). It currently look really dated, i personally would prefer a more refreshing feel, at least make it a bit more transitional/contemporary...
...
The dining room is facing north and east, so the light is about average.
The floor currently is carpet but will be natural red oak to match the rest of the house...
I'm leaning towards a gray color but there are too many shades!
Thank you!
