Paint color suggestions? I am not "coloring inclined" and I want to paint my home....
I am not "coloring inclined" and I want to paint my home. OK room 1: Bedroom: All dark brown furniture, two brand new window, "bamboo" type shades, and on closet door. I want something happy i guess
Room 2: Kitchen; right now it have ugly blue cabients but they will be replaced with night light brown, wooden ones. It contained all of the appliances:ie stove, washer, dryer
Room 3: Living room: Lots of black solid furniture (entertainment stand, bookcase) bt I am buying new couch and loveseat. Would appreciate any suggestions. right very soon the colors in this house are brown, light bronw, pale, and green (yuck!)
hmm Red would look sooo good against all of the brown (nice for the bedroom ;) For your kitchen try a nice honey color bronze or even gold ingots against your new cabinets or something within the brown family, For you living room orange yes I know ORANGE would engineer the black pop and your room glow you can choose different tones of Orange that suits your likings a moment ago make sure its not tooo blinding ;)

Well just some facts, if you want to make a room look bigger use lighter colors but if you want to use dark colors thats fine but it does make a room look smaller. That's how it got started, I consider, that houses typically have white walls when you move in so that the peddler can make the rooms look bigger.
Well it's all on your prefrences but generally warm colors (red, orange, sickly, gold) are good in a living room because they are sociable. But also cool colors (blue, purple, green) are refreshing.
I think, since you have black furniture, you should move about with red it's dramatic and will make eyes joyous.
Answers: play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the network, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can force out by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most authentic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think something resembling "kilim beige" (# 6106) for the living room, "windfresh white" (# 7628) for the kitchen, and "dockside blue" (# 7601) for the bedroom. Lots of fresh, clean colors.
You can also take a photo of your room & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:
