Foyer…

If you can deal with the grey walls, it would be easier to not have to paint. And there are good suggestions above. If you paint, you could do a blue in the LR and white in the kitchen.

Thanks all! We do have to paint unfortunately. You can’t see it in these photos, but there were a bunch of touch-up’s done to put the house on the market (these are the seller’s photos) and it’s very obvious when you’re in person. I’m thinking my issue might be all I can see is gray - because the sellers had all gray furniture in addition to the gray walls and countertops. Maybe if I can go a little cooler on the gray and then use colors in our furniture and decor it would work. I really appreciate the last photo too - because I love deep Navy colors with those warm browns (I know, I don’t like beige but I do love a wood-tone walnut brown).

Maybe wait til you move in with your own furniture. That way you can determine if the gray is too gray. It could be a nice neutral with different furnishings and textiles.

Your foyer didn't post...you need to wait for the photo to undim before hitting submit.

Since you like blue, you might consider going with a grayed-down blue/green. Something like Sherwin Williams Sea Salt, or Benjamin Moore Glass Slipper. Still very neutral but a little more color and warmth than gray. Because if you don't like yellow tones, it's going to be really hard to find a cream that you are ok with. (Spoken as someone who has tried and tried and tried for the sake a DH that loves yellow creams). But agree with others that you should do this after you put your furniture in, and find the right rug.

Leave the wall the current neutral color. It doesn't appear to be gray but more like Balboa Mist which is a great backdrop for a room.

Add blue with the items you place inside the room.

I like the Classic Grey BeverlyFLADeziner posted. Pearl River is a close match

to this photo in the Benjamin Moore color app.

• We need to see your stuff in the space for sure. IMO the best money spent would be to replace the carpet with matching hardwood for a nice simple backdrop for all the other things. I love this color cut 50% for a hint of colr that works with everything i have even out near it .It is BM not SW and I choose often for clients who have to choose wall color for builders who insist on apinting befor flooring THis is only a must if you have to paint before move in but for me the flooring first.

I can see the ease of doing one color for all of it, but personally I like to have more than one paint color - even in an open floor plan. This does depend on where walls start and stop. You never want to split a color on a continuous wall - only at corners.

Here are some pics:

You could also do a feature wall of blue as well just to break it all up.

Whatever you decide, make sure to get a small sample jar, paint it out on a poster board and hang it around different areas during different times of day. That way you won't be surprised by the undertones that may come out form the sunlight.

Good luck! Looks like a nice house!

You might consider just accessorizing more and adding more blue in the kitchen and blue in the living room area. You can do this with art, lamps, rugs, pillows, a blue tea pot, blue window treatments, etc. Please take a moment to look at two different designs of ours and how we have integrated certain colors in both the living room, kitchen, and dining room areas.
