Why paint only one color!!! Paint Graghics!!! All the renovations are in graphics!!! Clarence "Tulips" -
the brownish beige color for sure, the salmon color will look like too much.. Plus the color on the right is in the same color family . -
The one on the left reminds me of my grandmothers bedroom color and some old victorian bathrooms. I think the color on the right with other items within the room as accent colors would look better in the long run. You can switch out pictures and vases and totally chance the feel of the room quicker than repainting. -
A paler rose than the pink on the left, or a soft coal or peach, will make your guests look good! -
The colour on the right. Medium/light blue accents, Trims...bright white. -
My bedroom is painted in a light "Tea Green" which is beautiful with the wood and goes very with everything floral and landscapy, for a nature effect. -
I think you would very quickly 'tire' of the one on the left. Go with the "right" one - but - I would change it a little to something in that shade line but with a little added warmth & that would go better with all your furnishings. -
If you are set on these colors, feux paint and use the two colors together. In my opinion, the coral is too bright and the beige is too dull. -
Lotsa replies ~ ! My newest reply is "go with your gut feeling". What makes "you" feel good that blends with the rest of your home. -
Neither...try a nice sage green...very warm and inviting. -
Go for the coral......it will really warm up the room, but I would like to know if this room transitions into another room, what the color of the ajoining room is........ -
Both are very nice- the taupe with accents of the color on the left- add sage green as well? -
I like the taupe as well ...very classic. You could always use the mauve in the accents you put in the room -
I'm not a traditionalist. I was in charge of over 400 apartments and 350 homes. The apartments had to be some form of beige so I am burnt out on it. I had more fun with the homes. In dining rooms and kitchens I used food colors...which offers a wide variety of options. Instead of the taupe try using wheat or toast, accent it with a buttermilk color.Mauve was a big color in the 90's but has kind of faded into the background. Muted greens offers a very relaxed atmosphere ( think of ...» -
I usually choose colors by theme. I do perfer the coral color. -
I like the taupe color, the coral looks pink. -
Neither.....the taupe is nice but your sideboard fades away into it..how about something like a golden cork.....Ralph Lauren used to have a "whicker Rocker" that we had matched at Sherwin Williams...it's a gorgeous color...kind of a golden brown if that makes sense? -
Thank you all for your input. I like the color on the right called "shabby chic" but not for this room, I do no think it has the right feel for what I want to accomplish. However, I may use it in another room. My thought is to tone down the color on the left. My house has a very shabby chic feel to it and that is how I like it, even though it may seem outdated to some. My furniture in my living room, which is adjacent to this room, is in different shades of green, corals, golds, etc., so ...» -
Ahhhh......Love finalization !! and the fact that you've focused and are going with your "gut" ~~ Good Luck, Kathy! Post after pictures, if you have time.

I did the rose then alternate walls a lighter shade. If you were to paint the wall with the mirror rose then go a couple of shades lighter on the wall with the antique clock, it gives the room more dimension. -
Kathy, I'm with you on loving the shabby chic style. My house also has a shabby chic/cottage feel with lots of painted furniture. I love repurposing finds and giving them new life with paint. In my area, painted distressed furniture is very popular. I'm an interior designer and my advice to anyone is to "live with what you love". Let us know your decision and post a photo. -
Please post a photo when you are done..BTW, I love the credenza I just bought a cedar chest that is similar in time period and I can't wait to paint it!! -
how about stenciling the wall with the coral and cream? -
definitely NOT the peachy/clay color--the other color is really nice! -
please let us know which one you have picked. I still like the taupe. Good luch painting.
