We are moving into a new home and I want to paint. The color in the kitchen is this ugly bright southwestern orange. The dining room is a burgundy color and the living room is a sage green color. I would like to keep the burgundy and green but I want to paint the kitchen a light yellow color. Do I bring the yellow out of the kitchen and down the hallway to the other rooms.Will this color scheme work? The rooms are sectioned off by archways. I just want to know how to blend the colors from each room. Please help!!!
How do you blend the colors on the walls from room to room?
It sounds like the colors that you have chosen will all work well together - very Tuscan. Since you say that the kitchen is separated from the other rooms by an archway, then you do not have to paint the hall, too. You can leave the yellow in the kitchen.
Reply:Can you take some pictures to a good paint store and ask them? That's what I always do.
Reply:Leave the yellow kitchen at the archway will be perfect.
Reply:If the rooms are clearly separated, not an open concept, as long as you stay with similar tones (not one room Bright Orange, and another room country blue. Different colors in every room is fine. If you have an open concept you need to make sure that the colors flow so you don't have really big contrasts. My hallway is wood paneling on the bottom, which is painted white. My living room is sage green, to tie the hall and living room together I painted the top of the hall the same sage green, and then using a plastic bag, I scrunched a darker green over the sage. They look like very different colors but because of the base sage green it flows very nicely.
