decoenthusiaste I think the right gray would be awesome, but I would leave one solid wall in the yellow as an accent wall. Paint all the ones that have openings gray.

Manon Floreat I think a neutral wall color is just the thing you need for the peacock palette of colors you mention. Take a look at some of the greys that have a bit more brown in theme (aka taupe). A few that come to mind are Mega Greige by SW;




Rockport Grey by BM

Shenandoah Taupe BM

Becky Kennedy We are putting shelves in our garage. Can you show me pictures of garage storage ideas?

designideas4me Check out the discussion section . There was a recent conversation about garage organization and lots of ideas.

Jayme Hobbs I agree with Manon/ too dark will not look right with those blue/peacock chairs...You could incorporate an area rug ..A sisal or one that ties in the two colors (gray & peacock), but is not too busy! You can add in the other colors u like in throw pillows that have multiple colors in a pattern.

ruthyo I think that you would like the gray

kah416 Hi! Gray walls would be lovely...and a white and gray striped or soft jute area rug in the middle :)

Sweta Agrawal hiii grey is cool for background.......and some thing in white would be great over that for emphashis.........

olldbobbi Something like this? I'm not sure where you plan to put your peacock colors - accents, furniture, accessories. There was an entire ideabook dedicated to working with peacock, maybe you'll find it helpful.

Ideabook: Saturated Color: Peacock Blues

www.etsy.com/shop/NewJerseyAccents I think you should start by looking at some fabrics that will help you bridge the gap between your furniture and your desired wall color. Maybe, something like this:

Gabberts Design Studio Grey would be a great option for your room, the yellow is too much, and accenting in blues/greens would be gorgeous.

Authentic Hardwoods Hello
I think grey would look great. We use it in contemporary and modern applications all the time
Good Luck

Natalie Hi---this is the hue of gray I think perfect for your space and will coordinate great with the peacock colors you desire... Good Luck!

johnandbrett Gray is trendy. It is also boring and dull. Gold goes nicely with peacock colors.

Amber Russell Whoa, thanks for all the feedback you guys, very helpful! I love all the ideas you guys have. What's your thoughts on painting ceiling?

Natalie Love the idea of a painted ceiling. The photos I've attached have it painted and it looks great!

Amber Russell I took a few more pics today for different views of the room, wondering what to do with the wall that goes into the kitchen as well

Universal Stretch Ceilings We would like to suggest you to create an accent wall. You can print anything on a huge piece of canvas!

Amber Russell Ok I've definitely got a lot of deciding buying and doing haha thanks everyone I will post after pictures

Natalie Hi---I see red accents and orange and yellow walls. Commit to one color (gray) for your entire living room, stairwell, and shared kitchen wall. Paint out the orange to a green or blue (peacock) hue and add accessories with the peacock colors in your living room and kitchen... Good Luck! NOTE---the gray color in the background of the photo with the various bottles is almost EXACTLY the color of gray I proposed for you---it will give you an idea of how these colors work together... :)

Amber Russell Thanks I have a post on my kitchen somewhere I have to god I was thinking restoration Hardware's bay laurel color for the walls in the kitchen

kah416 Hi amber!! Ooh! I just had a vision for your wall going into your kitchen! What about wainscoting on the bottom, and then an accent color that ties in with the living room color (or just the same color as the living room) and then a row of large picture frames above the wainscoting? I will add pictures of the wainscoting and then some nice colors I found :)

kah416 Here's a few more colors I found...just incase you haven't decided on one yet :)

Amber Russell I have to go find it * sorry don't know what happened there

Amber Russell Natalie, thank you I like the ideas. And I REALLY love that lamp you posted.

Amber Russell kah416, I really like the idea of this I have no idea how to do that though.

Natalie Bay Laurel---Perfect!

kah416 Amber, you can buy wainscoting, or beadboard, at Menards, or lowes, Home Depot...it's easy to put up. And not expensive. Hubby would probably come in handy for putting it up :)

Manon Floreat Hi, Amber. I was looking at eye candy on Etsy, found these pillows and thought of you. Here's the artist's site if you're interested:

designideas4me How about elmo red.. lol...................and keep elmo in the room.

Joanna Zygo You have grey sofa & armchairs, when choosing the new color for your walls try to also create some contrast. If you decide to go for monochrome palette, then use different shades of the same color to add some contrast by that. With children in mind however it is good to add some color. Colorful accessories like those gorgeous pillows above from Manon Floreat post will make it look great...

Joanna Zygo Manon Floreat, these are gorgeous pillows..! Thanks for posting the link, lots of inspiration.

Amber Russell Manon, love those pillows thanks.
And my couch and chairs are all green not gray.

Amber Russell Also, Manon, you posted a photo of a bedroom earlier in the discussion. The walls gray and pillows and rug all colors I had in mind for living room. It's perfect. Is the Rockport the name of that gray or Shenandoah ?
