I am a rookie, just bought this house n still can't figure out what kind of color is the wood, and most of all, what color should I put on d wall, or should I just paint the wood white?

Tks

    Greige seems to be the new rage. It's a mixture of gray and beige. Here's a board I pulled off Pinterest. Also if you like cheap and simple surprisingly Wal-Mart has a new line of premixed colors by Glidden. Takes the guess work right out of it. They were the only place open when I had a 6am bright idea and the quality and color were great. I ended up painting using gray with white trim, l had an oak wood floor and it turned out fabulous. I was skeptical that it was a cool color rather than a the typical beige, yellow, browns but it really pulled together nice.

      I would always go for white normally, but seems like you have a lot of light, so you could paint one wall another color!

      Paint the walls beige/cream color, but leave the ceiling and all the trimmings white

      Thank u guys, The floor tiles are those old style small white with a bit dirty grey, I do want to paint all the trims n doors white and then put some colors on the wall. But I am overwhelmed by how many walls are there, need to come out with a series of colors to distinguish different function of the rooms, but still same theme, any suggestions? Ps, we do get a lot of lights here.

      Your kitchen/eating area not only has light, but also different wall and ceiling planes. If you like a modern vibe why not try experimenting with different greys that have a brown undertone? Then accessorize with color. The tile grout can be altered.

      Color is tricky and you have a lot of brown which is why I suggest a warm undertone. Try Sherwin Williams Curio Gray SW 0024. I suggest obtaining a 4 x 4 large, smooth white board-like material and paint it; then you can see the color in different areas at different times of the day. Much less expensive than painting and covering over samples on the wall!

      Oh-one more thing! Caution on having another manufacturer "match" paint color. They all have their own color line based on their formulas so color match can be close - or not. I also suggest flat finishes because touch ups are easy. Good luck and let us know how it goes!!

      thanks guys, for the suggestions, I also went to home depot today, got dizzy by all those colors from different manufactures.... too confusing..... I think I will go with the grey/beige look alike for the main theme in the house, and paint the brown window frames and trims white/cream white.... you guys think okay? any idea how much would it cost to hire a painter?

      i don't know Behr paint, but I hear it is a wonderful product. I went to H D last week and pick up this great sample: 480 e 1,2,3. Beautiful blue/green which may work with the dark wood.

      Your house has lots of beautiful natural stained wood trim. Why do you want to paint it? Instead, why not go with neutral wall color that complements the wood stain and add color accessories to personalize each room?

      Looks like Oak trim and wood work - I'd try to keep the oak or replace it through the whole house with a white - we did this in a 80s house we had. It's not an expensive project and looks alot nicer - kitchen walls: the safest option would be to do with a warm earth tone creme or something with just a little yelllow. Or you can bring the green in from outside. We went with a pine green paint on the wall where our door was and over our cabinets on an adjoining wall in our last house - we had pines in the back - it looked really good, but we did repaint it to a neutral prior to selling - not everyone feels green. (if you plan on replacing the trim - find the area with the least amount of room -window casing to wall or door- and make sure you buy molding that is the same size as your current molding or will fit that space) We went with a standard colonial and it was the same size as the plain old cheap oak 80s molding that needed an update.

      I love the wood trim. There was an article recently on Houzz about which colors work well with wood trim with several good examples. We chose a green (Valspar "Grandma's Linen") for our kitchen and love it. The wood looks great with it and it has really changed the appearance of the room by having the right shade on the walls. Good luck but I would love to see you keep the wood trim instead of painting it white.

      After some serious consideration, I think I will go for 3 stages, 1st: paint the whole house first without paint over the trim, baseboard and the door; 2nd, if that doesn't look good, I will paint over them; 3rd, if that also doesn't work, i think i will replace the whole baseboard. Can anyone give me some idea on how much would it cost to paint a 2300sft house? tks a lot
