Living Room

7 år siden

Well, here it goes. I just purchased my first home and am looking for some color scheme advice. Below is pictures of the living room. I was thinking something like a light grey. However, the issue I seem to run into has do do with the wood trim and the shadow boxes. I am not sure how to go about selecting a color scheme that would work with the wood floor. Any ideas are much appreciated.

One last thing, although I love gray walls, I would do yours in a warm beige to compliment your green couches. Earth tones like green, brown, wheat and rust look great together. think Fall in New England.

Sofa i pangfarve - go eller no go?
Q
Kommentarer (6)
Det ser rigtig godt ud på billeder, men så stort et møbel i pangfarve vil man højst sandsynligt hurtigt blive træt af og en sofa er ikke et billigt møbel, så man vil ikke bare kunne skifte den ud. Jeg ville gå efter neutrale farver, når det kommer til møbler som man skal have længe og istedet gøre brug af farverige billeder eller pyntegenstande til at pifte rummet op med :)

Hvilken af disse to lamper skal jeg vælge til min nye lejlighed?
Q
Kommentarer (7)
I de gamle dage var alle (gløde)lamper varme (bogstaveligt og lysmæssigt). I dag LED-teknologien giver mulighed for både at regulere farvetemperatur og lysstyrke og dermed skabe smukt stemningslys til enhver situation: varmt lys giver hygge, kold lys aktiverer og giver energi. Til det "varme hjem" vil jeg anbefale en kobberlampe der "varmer" selv når lampen ikke er tænd. Tjek marinov.dk - locus bipes kobber, håber I kan lide det :-)

Duftlys - go eller no go?

Det sidste år har jeg virkelig skruet ned for brug af stearinlys. Jeg har mine glaslysestager stående - for hyggens skyld, og fordi jeg godt kan lide lysets genskær i glasset. Men jeg har virkelig tænkt over den enorme forurening, brændende stearinlys indebærer. Alle disse sodpartikler, som fylder og forurener vores hjem, og som vi indånder. Man siger: jo større væge, jo mere sod og forurening. Derfor er fyrfadslys dem, der forurener "mindst". Faktisk synes jeg, det nemt bliver kvalmsk med duftlys. Hvis jeg ønsker at fylde mine stuer med en eller anden duft, bruger jeg æterisk olie (økologisk) - i en holder, som opvarmer olien, uden den bliver overvarm (=negativ effekt). De der holdere, som sættes over et lys, og som opvarmer olien, gør den faktisk toksisk. For dig, som kan fransk, er her linket til den i porcelæn, som ikke overopheder olien: Fransk porcelænsopvarmer til olie Du kan også bestille den online her: Amazon UK - Docteur Valnets porcelænsopvarmer til olie I serien fra Docteur Valnet findes et væld af æteriske økologiske olier, som også kan bruges i madlavningen. De kan bestilles online via amazon, medmindre du lige kommer forbi Frankrig. Især Odarome er et hit i mit hjem. Den renser luften og forfrisker rummene.

Even though it's a dark stain? So you would recommend moving the faux wainscoting. I am looking at Network Grey. Or do you think darker? what color would you paint the fireplace?

If you're going to paint the walls light gray I would recommend Gray Owl Benjamin Moore. It's a true gray and very light. It works well with any color palette. Network gray has blue undertones and will make the room appear blue depending on the light in your room. I would paint the fireplace a charcoal gray. Good luck!

Agree with wildcat blue! It will look more modern not to mention easier to paint the whole wall. Paint the crown the dark charcoal like the fireplace. However, if that fireplace doesn't really put out heat I'd take it out as well. Paint those pipes the same as the wall. Why are the there anyway?

you could paint all the trim white. thats what i would do. if you prefer not to, then paint the walls gray. its the closest neutral color that wont look bad with dark stained wood.

paint the wainscoting white or a darker gray color.

it depends on if you want it to look like every other gray modern looking house or if you want something quirky and unique or whatever. knowing that, that would help

Let's do this the easy way. The first thing to choose is an area rug. One that picks up the color of your existing furniture but adds more colors. Your space will look larger if you use an area rug that all the furniture sits on. The rug is your color anchor.

Th next step is matching the wall and trim color to the rug. In the top example we used two tones of soft yellow. Lighter above the chair rail, darker below, the off white tint of the same yellow on the trim, fireplace and ceiling. Add a bit of your wall color to your ceiling paint to take out the blue tint. Or paint the ceiling another color. It is the 5th wall. Make it easy, choose your rug first. www.CompanyC.com is a great place to start.

I think the brown looks great with gray. I would paint the walls. Leave the floors and the trim alone.

Remove all the trim boxes below the chair rail....paint everything a soft white upper and lower including the fireplace it will give it a fresh modern feel.....add a rug to ground the space...if you give us a floor plan...just draw it out on paper we can help with furniture placement....will you be keeping all the furniture? What color is the sofas? Grey?

I agree with the above advice in that leave all the trim but paint it and the walls a light paint hue and just do eveyrting the same color....I even think you can paint out the stained wood trim but that is up to you; either way works.

Please sell the love seat or put it in your office, bedroom etc.....ditto the cocktail table. Acutally invest in an afternoon at Pottery Barn for some inspiration and they have free design advice, room arrangement etc. Add a pair of chairs with some interet in them, matching somewhat or contrast. Then accessorize what you have along the lines of Pottery Barn; they do a nice neutral masculine look that is comfortable and welcoming.

Like this maybe? Paint, lights, lamps, rug, strong design throw pillows, prints....all of this can be found at IKEA if you are doing budget but Pottery Barn lasts forever and is timeless.
