It won't be as shiny looking as opposed to painting them white. That way I can focus on accent colors. But then again, I'm into a rustic look. But your kitchen is gorgeous, regardless of what you end up doing! sera_87 on "How would you paint a room like this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-paint-a-room-like-this#post-693211 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 21:56:01 +0000 sera_87 693211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'd do one colour with an accent wall behind the couch. I'd also do something with the cabinets (paint? New hardware?) but that's so totally personal (aka personally not a fan of wood coloured cabinets ;)) tequiero21 on "How would you paint a room like this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-paint-a-room-like-this#post-693179 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 21:34:54 +0000 tequiero21 693179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i'd do one color and accent wall in the living room...opposite the oven!

Not sure how much try cost, but I was planning on looking into it. I'm thinking one neutral color, a backsplash and then pops of color in the living room like a rug or some wall hangings.

I'm very minimalist and I love the bright white of Scandinavian style homes. Yours would look great white because of the warmth the wood already brings to the room.

We painted all the walls with a dark beige. yellowbird on "How would you paint a room like this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-paint-a-room-like-this#post-692951 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:57:59 +0000 yellowbird 692951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @tysonja: ooh! I love the pops of color in that house! @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: great suggestions. I'm terrible with things like this. What color would go with all the wood colors? I can't picture anything that would look nice!! tysonja on "How would you paint a room like this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-paint-a-room-like-this#post-692943 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:51:52 +0000 tysonja 692943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ you pictures reminded me of this house (that i love!): <a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2013/03/house-crashing-sisterly-digs/" rel="nofollow">http://www.younghouselove.com/2013/03/house-crashing-sisterly-digs/</a> i like the clean, bright look :). i vote for a fresh coat of bright white, and decorate away, or a light grey colour. nice house!! :) Cole on "How would you paint a room like this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-paint-a-room-like-this#post-692940 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:51:15 +0000 Cole 692940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Personally, I would paint it all one color with maybe an accent wall. On the other hand, my parents have a similar situation, a clean delineation on one side and then on the other it is basically all one wall and they simply switched colors and made sure they had a very nicely painted line. I thought my mom was nuts but sure enough it worked for them!

A single color in the space will be fine. I think it looks like so much white because the appliances, doors, and window trims are all white. Once you add color the "too much" look will dissappear. I would stay away from yellow or golden hued colors since your floors, cabinets, and tables are in the warm honey family.

We also stained our cabinets (similar colour to yours) a dark brown, so all together, it totally changed the look of the space. I don't think the one colour looks monotone - I think it gives it a sort of cohesiveness. (We've got one accent wall in the kitchen, which does break things up a bit). yellowbird on "How would you paint a room like this?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-paint-a-room-like-this#post-692888 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:28:14 +0000 yellowbird 692888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The kitchen and living room are all connected. It's so white and bland, but I'm afraid if we would paint all one color it would still look like too much of one thing and all washed out. Maybe the color wouldn't be so much if there were other decorations? [attach=1925/13/mkran2.600x400.image.jpg] [attach=1925/13/mkran3.600x400.image.jpg] [attach=1925/13/mkran5.600x400.image.jpg]
