One option would be to paint the trim in the same color as the walls but in a different sheen. it will look close but will provide a little contrast.

I yave seen that done with off whites..do you think it would work with the natural tan?

The trim is Toque white...its an odd white. it has pink undertones. i was looking at a softer white...maybe alabaster?

A rug under the table and brighter light bulbs will make a much bigger difference.

Unfortunately i dont have room for a rug, i do plan on changing all our light bulbs

I am considering natural tan and had my husband paint one wall ( I have sampled SW Cnvas ttan, Assesible beige, Assesible beige lighttened by 25 percent, Benjamin Moore Natural Linen, BM Manchester Tan, BM Pale Oak and many more). The picture is below. I

For trim I would go with Alabaster or Westhighland ( it is coordinating colors for Natural Tan)

I am using natural tan now i painted trim a Benjamin Moore color Monterey White it looks really good with it its not a bright white but not as dark an off white as the swatches appear We love it!

A modern solution would be to paint the trim the same Color as the walls but in a glossy finish , certainly no less than semi gloss . Also to give the dining room a little light and bright , would you consider changing out the dark artwork there and replace instead with either a grouping in light Mats and thin frames of lighter colored pieces or even black and white photographs ? Manchester tan by Benjamin moore is an excellent tan , but it does have a khaki look to it in late afternoon light so works best with rooms which get lots of natural light . If your room has a low ceiling keep the ceiling in a white or lighter shade even if you go with a dark tan on the walls . Also , the crown molding might be better in the semi gloss you put on the baseboard and not in the white paint of the ceiling . I would also consider a larger centre light in the living room , wrought iron would be nice .

This is not what you asked for but looking at the dining room area, you have the problem of the double French doors which are nice coming into that room . Would you consider creating an eating nook under the art wall with a built in bench against the wall in faux leather , a table and then maybe just two chairs facing the built in beach ? Sort of like a booth that you would see in a nicer restaurant. This would isolate the eating area from the doors a little and give you more room . I think your kitchen is lovely and I would paint the walls in about the same shade as the kitchen cupboards so that the room doesn’t look choppy . A nice creamy white rather than a tan. Then you can continue the black and white theme into the eating area with the black and white photograph art on the far wall and new over head lighting .
