Design Dilemma - Penny's House

Hi Beehive designers,

Okay here goes.  My foyer and hallway is painted in Waverly New England Yellow, in a semi-gloss finish I believe.  My kitchen is sage and can be seen from the living room.  What would be a nice complementary color to the Waverly New England Yellow and sage color?  I have brown microfiber sofas and two paintings that I love with various reds/poppies and greens framed with dark frames.  Any specific direction or suggestions with this is greatly appreciated.   

Thanks,

Penny

 

Hi Penny,

Glad you wrote!

I don't know if you want to have a deep or light color in the living room. I would suggest going in the khaki direction. The Waverly color palette has a nice one - WV38001. You can also try the following from Valspar's Ultra Premium Colors:
 

Lights:

                    
  Dakota Trail 6008-3B      Woodlawn Misty Morn 6008-3A

Mediums:
                                                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                    
  Prairie Dance 3006-10A  Cliveden Sandstone 3007-10B          Epic 6008-3C

In the living room I would definitely go with a warm neutral that will work with your sofa. I would head towards the greens because that will really make your painting pop. Do you have a rug? If so, consider the colors in that as well.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,
