Would this paint color work with light stained floors?

12 years ago

Michael, I love your designs! This is the look I want for my living room but my floors are a light stain, will the shaker beige work with that? Also, I wanted to try a neutral couch with a print chair, will a plain couch blend in with my walls? Thanks for the help!!

My recommendation is to try something other than Shaker Beige with light stained floors - you ultimately want some contrast; be it in the fabrics, floor stain, or other furnishings. Best of luck.

Michael Abrams Limited - Hi Michael - our house is currently all in Shaker Beige. Love it btw.

The only thing is I've found it rather dark in the hallways of our 2 story home. Our main level is all natural oak floors (yellow/orangey tone) as you mention in your post above. I like the Shake Beige with it myself but is there another lighter color you might suggest?

Here are the floors..
