Choosing paint colors

12 years ago

Our main floor is all hardwood (Solid Red Oak Flooring, 5” Charcoal color, Handscraped and Distressed). The hallways are painted with Benjamin Moore OC-20, Pale Oak. Looking for paint color suggestions for the following main floor rooms. 1) Living & Dining rooms (attached), open concept Family Room & Kitchen. The kitchen cabinets color is based on Benjamin Moore CC 40, Cloud White. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!!!

Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. this does look good. of course the pale oak on the screen appears more grey than it actually does on our walls. i was thinking that we would paint the family room/kitchen with a different color than the living/dining rooms. are you suggesting they all be the same?

-- You might consider finding an "inspiration piece" before you get locked in to paint colors ie: an area rug, artwork, upholstery, etc. There are millions of paint colors available and it is much easier to coordinate a paint color with a color inspired by a pattern you like than vise versa.

Your flooring is lovely!

Can you attach a floor plan? Just reply here and click and attach to keep it in the same thread. Also, what do you have that will also become part of the plan. Furnishings, drapes, rugs, etc.

As Sandy pointed out, it can be helpful to design around your favorite piece.

I love the pale oak and cloud white. If you have crown molding you could do the accent with the cloud white and the walls with the pale oak!
