bamboo kitchen table
What color should I paint the inside of my house?

My wife and I are remodeling our house downstairs. We are getting medium to dark wood bamboo floors. Ubatuba granite counter tops (black with gold flecs). Our cabinets are being painted white.

Our downstairs consists of a kitchen, dining room, and living room. Each one being separate rooms but all connecting in a circle from one room to the next. The dining room and living room share a wall. The dinning room and kitchen have chair rails so there’s the possibility of painting above the chair rail one color and below the chair rail another color.

What do you think? Also, what kind (color) of a kitchen table should we get?

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the “painted” rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think “cloudburst” (# 6487) & “shoji white” (# 7042) might be a good choice.

You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & for $5 they’ll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
