What color should I paint my livingroom/diningroom? What color fabric should I use on diningroom chairs?

Question

Kitchen is medium blue (white cabinets). Livingroom has a rug that has blues, gold, tans, rusty/wine colors in the design.

Answer 1

For the paint color, check out Sherwin Williams, "Compatible Cream"(it's more exciting than it sounds). When picking a color to work with the blue you have, try to determine what tone your blue is. Example "warm or cool"

Answer 2

A light creamy yellow. This will accent the blues and pop with the wine colors. For the fabric, go with a blue & white fabric or either burgandy wine. Burgandy really pops with yellow. I have my kitchen painted yellow w/white cabinet and use red as an accent. The dining room is another shade of yellow. The wallpaper and border has a fruit design w/a brugandy background. Looks very rich and goes great.

Answer 3

For your kitchen chairs, I would go with blue and white stripes, or some design that ties the 2 colors together. For your living room, I would choose a reddish or rusty shade, maybe paint with design. For instance, pick out your paint, use a trash bag or grocery bag, crumple it up, dip in paint slightly, put on wall and rub in in circular motion, then in the same area dab the paint again with the bag, makes a leather like appearance, very sharp and beautiful! There are all kinds of colors and shades in reds/rusts. Can be very elegant! Good luck and have fun!

Answer 4

For more contemporary look, try chocolate colors with a white trim. Then you can choose a wide varity of materials for your chairs. Remember, the earth. The sky is blue and the Grass is green, The dirt is brown, and for some odd reason these colors always seem to work together. Hint Hint, go out side and look. Pick your favorite colors from the things in nature that inspire you. Foracleanhome.com

1] paint choices could be:[ depending on upholstery, curtains or drapes ]
rose
peach
pale gold [ like honey ]

Then add throw pillows in color[s] of walls, furniture, or rug.
2] Dining room chairs: since they need to hide some spills -
mid-range
color like wine,
rust,

tan
Or a print with jewel tones - ruby, emerald, topaz, sapphire

i think it is always good to go on with some light colors however nice cookie brown would do if you want any of your room to look big and bright paint it with light colors.in case of your dining room chaits it is better to have dark brown or black provided your room color is half white or a good light color hey!just get to have a contrast color it would do goood.
