Help with paint colors - 2 rooms, 3 colors?

Go with.. "paint one wall in each room the color of the other room?". i think you will need something to tie it all together. But as far as what color to paint where, you should base that on your own instinct. Certain colors will make you feel good so you should sit in the room and imagine what is comforting to you. Otherwise, whatever else you paint will drive you crazy and you don't want to have a do-over.

I think your color choices are great - and your original instinct is correct. Paint the wall that connects the two rooms the salmon color, the remaining walls in the dining room, gray and the remaining walls in the living room, taupe. You do not need to bring both colors into each room - it would be a bit overwhelming. Use the gray as an accent color in the living room and vice-versa. For example, a gray chair and throw pillows on your sofa (mixed with other colors as well), taupe on your dining room chair seats – you get the idea. Try to find ready-made drapes, or fabric for custom drapes, which incorporates both colors (or all three, if you can) and use the same treatment in both rooms. It sounds like it’s going to be spectacular!

I like the idea of using the predominant wall color in the adjacent room as an accent color.

But if I'm undertanding correctly, the dining room, which has 3 walls, would have a different color on each wall. I think that might be too much variety.

Since the rooms share a common wall color, then I think I would stick with painting all of the living room walls taupe & all of the dining room gray, but then you could bring in the colors of the other room through artwork & area rugs.

My $.02. Good luck.

::"Should I also paint one wall in each room the color of the other room?

Should I paint the living room fireplace wall the gray color"

Yes that sounds faboo and a gray fireplace sounds sophistacated. Good luck!!

Paint it all neutral and put any colours you like into your soft furnishings. Dark colours make the room appear alot smaller then what it really is.

A mix of hot and cold colours isn't going to work that well anyway. I thought feature walls were outdated already? Be brave OPEN up your rooms and be as bold as you like with your curtains, couch cover, cushsions, paintings, mirrors etc.

change the reddish salmon color,make that the continuity color either the gray or the taupe

White, beige and cyan. Dark colours attract negative "energy" to your house. That's why black especially should be avoided.
