I would start with painting the blue walla a white with blue, but not too cool, undertones to work with the floor and not contrast too much with the oak. Eventually you may want to invest in painting or replacing the oak OR the floors.

Instead of painting everything else, I would paint the floor. Many here have done it with success, including myself. It is a pretty simple process and not much different than painting walls. Also, paint is very cheap.

I would like to see those floors 1 yr later. IMO the only way to paint tile is too use actual epoxy paint and it is really stinky and needs to be done in well ventilated space where you are not living. Klenk makes the paint very limited colors and a huge job to . I think mabe look for a vinyl tile type stuff and lay it over top until you can afford to get the floor done .I would look at loose lay vinyl flooring and hope it stands up for as lone as you need it. Or just honestly work with it until neew floor is in the budget .Use the same color for all the walls and wait.This is a good info as to what I suggested but really I would save any money you might spend and wait,

Loose lay can be installed over any hard floor surface and long as it is smooth, sturdy, and dust-free. Note that when installing over tiles that grout lines may need to be filled in order to provide an even surface

Paint everything white: the wood trim, doors, the walls, the cabinets (if you want to). Then later when you can afford to replace the tile with hardwood, you can add color to the walls.

I would paint all the dark blue walls the same color as the rest of the walls. I'm not sure I would have chosen Classic Gray as it can look slightly blue in some light, but I understand you were between a rock and hard place with those floors and the wood trim. CG may actually have been the best choice. Then go with the recommendation to cover up as much surface area as possible with rugs. I don't see the point in putting different flooring on top of what's there if you will eventually replace it with wood. If you want the wood trim later (after the floors are changed) don't paint it, but if there's nothing about it you like, paint it now. The kitchen cabinets can stay wood. If you think it will be a long time before you will do a kitchen remodel and you can't stand the wood cabinets then paint them now. If you DIY the cabinets, do your research before doing it. You can't just slap up a coat of wall paint on them and get lasting results.

Patricia I am sure epoxy floors are great but there are multiple ways to accomplish things. I painted my bathroom floors 7 years ago. The only difference in that time is they have yellowed, which I knew going in because I coated them with polyurethane.

Have you tried cleaning the grout, might lighten it a bit. Also you could do the peel and stick vinyl tiles, these work pretty well and hold up until you an afford the actual replacement.

Since BM Classic Gray has already just been painted throughout, I would also paint the remaining blue walls in the same colour as white would now look odd.

Stainless steel appliances would look nice as well as black accents throughout the room. Replace the cabinet knobs and faucet with black ones. I suggest you replace the light above the sink with a black pendant as well as your pendant above the table which is too small and should hang lower. A nice jute/sisal area rug would look better than the gray one you have which brings out the gray in the floor. Roman shades in your windows would dress them up more than what looks like horizontal blinds. If you have room, a nice bench tree coat rack would look make things look tidy at the bottom of the stairs. Here's the look...

Those blue walls are making the gray walls look even bluer. First thing is to paint over all the blue. Then reassess.

I like the pictures above of the off-white walls the best.

Your tile is blue with like a tannish color to go with the oak cabinets and trim I have the same tile my sunroom and if you lay down a black or the tan color rug that will help and that has dark grout I take it my grout is blue to match my tile but that looks good with your stainless steel

Paint the blue walls not the floors! As everyone has suggested, get rugs: a runner; a new dining area rug with no blue in it but some gold touches. Embrace the wood trim, which warms up the cool floor.

Rug palettes should have minimal blue with touches of gold and rust and possibly a tiny bit of gray.

If you ever get around to painting walls again, read this or other articles about paints that work with wood trim. A much warmer wall color would've helped coordinated the warm wood trim and floors:

I would stain the grout so it blends with the tiles. Then, rugs - and paint the blue the same as the rest of the walls.

Omg you guys are awesome! Yes I already painted all the walls including the dark blue all BM Classic Grey. I was going to use BM Pale Oak but it seemed that CG was lighter. So am stuck with it at this point. ;-). I am looking to paint the grout to blend. I found this online and the tile looks the same as mine. Unfortunately it does not give the grout color…

@ lisedv: is the dining pendant woven black or natural? Curious, would you consider nickel instead of black for knobs, and faucets?

For the grout, I would say it's a gray similar to the ones below:

The above pendant is brass in a black finish. There are other similar styles you can choose from:

As for the pulls, I think you'll ge more of an impact with black which stands out more with the colour of the wood, see photo below to see the difference:

Sorry I misunderstood, it's nickel versus black but still have the same opinion, I would opt for the black:

I have seen people mention painting the grout before- I am curious. Do you really just apply to exisiting or do you need to remove or treat the existing darker grout?

I've been toying with that myself. I also have been contemplating having it professionally steam cleaned or whatever they do but would love to find an easy and effective solution.

I do agree in the mockups, with the less contrasting grout it looks much nicer. Those grays look like they would work well.

Any updates?
