Full Question:

I have brown leather furniture, light wood floors, black coffee table and end table and accents, room is open to kitchen with wide opening and I have dark cherry hutch and dinette, stainless steel appliances, what color should I paint walls? I was thinking a light greyish blue would set off dark tones. Also have dark cabinets but thinking of painting them? please help, the cream walls are making me crazzzy!!!

My answer:LOL! You made me laugh! I can so RELATE to what you said - I’m not a white or cream wall color person myself!

You’re smart to think “light colors” though, with the darks you are working with (which I also have). And the GREYISH blue would be a “warm” color (versus a cool color), which would work well with your furnishings. The stainless that you have in the kitchen would work REALLY well, with that color.

I like the choice you are considering with what you’ve told me that you have.
