If there is a better community to ask, I’d be happy to post there. I am looking for ideas for a color to paint my living room, based on my accent colors.

It might be hard to tell from the photo, but the walls are a light grey. And I’m going for a farmhouse/country feel.

Thanks!

    Farmhouse is all about texture. What is your favorite color? Get a muted version of it. For instance if your favorite color is blue, try a color like needlepoint navy from Sherwin Williams. Or if it is red, try rosedust or toile red.

    Since you have entirely neutral woodwork, floor, ceiling, and furniture any color is going to stand out…even if muted.

    Recommended more than color: texture. Plaster techniques, shiplap (overdone a bit thanks to Chip and Joanna), cedar boards, wallpaper, etc. will add more to your farmhouse desires. Farmhouses are rustic so having the perfect trim, carpet, etc could handle something to contrast it.

    Just some suggestions! Make sure to post once you decide on a change :)
