I want to paint our living room and kitchen, the couch is sage green. What colors will look best?

Answer 1

get yourself a colour wheel....found in art shops....they have a slide so that you can compare both complimentary shades and contrasting colours I have found this quite a valuable tool when choosing colours for just about anything and have done it for years

Answer 2

Look at shades of neutral colors, like cream or beige shades, or other neutral colors of ur liking. It should list if it is a neutral color or not, then u can take some neutral samples home to put against ur couch.

Matt said the same colors lol, my best luck has been with satin paints, for kitchens and baths, maybe a little more expensive but well worth it when u go to wipe something off.
I've had semi-gloss paint still get pasty when u try to wipe a stain or splatter off the wall.
You could go cheaper for the living room, (like flat paint) and invest more for the kitchen for easier clean up.
How much u want to spend also depends on how long u will be staying there, or if u own it.

My couch is sage green, and my walls in the family room/kitchen combination is a very pale green, called parsnip. Using a dark barn red and mustard makes a very nice color combination. My carpet is also sage green, with lots of oak trim. If you would like to see how it looks, check out my picturetrail

It is in the album under valances - there are raised swags on either side of the fireplace. The walls are a pale green.

I have used a salmon orange in my sitting room that has a green suite due to my curtains being a burnt orange colour and it looks good it really depends what colour your curtains are as paint can pick up either the compliments of the curtains or the sofas depending on what you want. In the kitchen I have oak cabinets and have my walls painted a sun yellow which really lifts the room and makes it nice and bright even on the wet day which we get a lot of here in ireland

Answer 5

depends on the flooring and drapes, are they also greem or neutral,neutralbeige/cream will allow a strong contrasting colour such as aubergine or chocolate tones.on a wall or 2...
gold or oatmeal hues go well on walls where flooring and drapes are bolder
I my self have cranberry and oatmeal sounds delicious !
If you scatter a few green foliage plants in with any of these combinations it will look great

Answer 6

Light beige (flat) in the living room and cream (semi gloss) in the kitchen. Think that will look
classy.
