Paint color for living room -- open floor plan
-
Julie on Jun 28, 2015May we see a pic of the "open floor plan" to include the kitchen/dining area leading into the living room? It will help suggest the color as you don't want too many colors in an open floor plan as you want a visual flow of color. Thanks!Helpful Reply

Ellen DeVilbiss on Jun 28, 2015There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Your golden yellow is very intense and lovely as an accent wall or two. I would go with a much less intense yellow or a warm antique white even. Keepin it warm without the bold intensity will keep it unified, but not overwhelming.Helpful Reply

Lynda Burgess Langston on Jun 28, 2015A warm beige would work well with the yellows. I have the same that same gold in my living room with a brick red accent wall and a warm beige in my hall. Looks great!Helpful Reply

Millie on Jun 28, 2015I would go with the gray as has been suggested. Cream draperies in living room and dining room (if there is a window), recover the sofa pillows in cream with red &/or black trim. Change out the green lamp, or spray paint it black.Helpful Reply

XXXXXXX on Jun 28, 2015In maintaining continuity with the open concept, it would be recommended to continue with a "much" lighter gold hue into the living space as that of a pastel. Or, you can consider going with plain white living room walls while pulling in the gold of the dining/kitchen with gold accents pieces as of pillows, vases, candles, etc..Helpful Reply

Ltt834476 on Jun 28, 2015I have used that same mustard yellow and paired it with purple, and then with forest green, and with a brick/ rust color. Looking at your pillows on your couch and your green decor, the rust would really look nice in that room ans especially with that yellow. And will compliment all your decor in the kitchen. Are those apples? A light yellow would do anything for the living room but give it a boring look. The same with gray. You need color in that room. A reddish rust color would be beautiful! Take my word on that one. I learned these colors from a wallpaper/ color designer. I was' t sure at first, but I took all her advise. I got nothing but compliments. Sold my house for $260,000 on the first day, before it got on the Market.Helpful Reply

Ltt834476 on Jun 28, 2015My advice, if still not sure. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot. Look at the color samples. Grab your mustard yellow and put it next to the light yellow, then the gray, and then the reddish/rust color. And if none of those make you happy, keep matching until your happy.Helpful Reply

Cheryl B on Jun 29, 2015I love what you have done and I too recently painted my kitchen, living room and a dining room using close to the same colors. The living room is in a very light tan. My house has a spicy look to it and I love it. I weaved in a California poppy (red) color through out.Helpful Reply
