Color scheme selection

Hello! I am trying to find colors that will match my furniture and kitchen cabinets. I have Mio Madison sofa with color named King grey-beige 5, and a very similar color bed. Kitchen is Ikea Veddinge Grey. Floors are fishbone oak. I want to select matching colors, but don't want to end up with cold gray everywhere. What I am considering are Sommarsnö and Tidlös as light color for kitchen and also hall maybe. Living room is not so big, so trying to find a bit light and cozy color, such as Space or Gentle Whisper. I can go darker on bedroom, but maybe on one wall behind bed with color like Natural Clay, and rest of the room is same as living room. I feel slight red undertone may go well with my sofa and bed, but have doubts about kitchen. I don't really enjoy blue or green on walls in general. Would also like to get recommendation for matching white color for doors and windows, and also ceiling if recommended other than plain white. Many thanks!

Hi,
I will be happy to help you, but if you have the opportunity to check and come back with what color code (ncs) your white details such as doors, windows, moldings have, if not all these details are to be painted, that would be great? It affects which other colors will be nice and how you will experience the end result. The easiest way to find out is to borrow color samples of the most common whites, S0500-N and S0502-Y, and see which of these comes closest to your white details. Then come back with this and I will help you further with a color plan.

Hello! Windows and doors are a bit old now, so I am planning to paint them anyway. Also, I removed old baseboards and will replace them with new ones, so I have opportunity to choose the matching white when I buy them. Thanks!

Hello again,
Thanks. When you want to color an entire home, it is usually best to start with the kitchen/living room. After that, it will be easier to find suitable colors for other rooms. It becomes easily overpowering otherwise.
Your kitchen doors have a grey-blue tone where the blue feature will be reinforced together with warmer tones such as beige, greige, green, yellow...etc.
So,if you don't want to reinforce the blue feature, then you avoid warmer tones.
Take a look at LADY 1622 Reflektion for the walls if you want a neutral tone.
Test paint on large pieces of paper that you can move around and see how the colors turn out in different places in the room, in different lights. Then come back with how you experienced 1622 Reflektion against the shutters in your light and we will continue with the other rooms.
For dull and beautiful walls, paint with LADY Pure Color, LADY Essence, New LADY Wonderwall or LADY Balance. Wooden details such as panels, moldings, windows, doors, frames, kitchen cabinets and furniture are painted with LADY Supreme Finish. It is available in the gloss grades Pure Matt, Silk Matt, Half Glossy and Super Glossy. The ceilings are painted with LADY Interior Finish if it is a wooden ceiling and with LADY Perfection if it is a smooth ceiling.

Hello again! I got big paper samples of 1622 Reflektion and 1928 Sommarsnö. I think Reflection suits very well with the cabinets, but I am curious if you have any recommendation that is slightly darker in tone, so I can compare how it looks. If I use Reflection for kitchen, I would probably use same color for the hallway. Then what would you recommend for the living room and bedroom? I have built in wardrobe in bedroom, which are painted with 9918 Klassisk Vit. I can keep them as it is, or paint them something else if it would create a better harmony in bedroom. Thanks in advance!

Hi
If you chose a darker tone than LADY 1622 Reflektion it has to be more like the greblue on the cabinets not to make the cabinets look more bluish.
Please not that allmost all colours tend to look slightly darker when painted on a bigger surface.
Do you have a picture of your sofa?

Hello! Then Reflektion suits me better in the kitchen instead using a greyblue color. I uploaded few photos of sofa. Bed has a very similar color as well. Thank you!

Hi
Thank you:)
If you chose LADY 1622 Reflektion in the kitchen, please have a look at LADY 20054 Silky Pink to the livingroom, LADY 4622 Plommon to the bedroom and LADY 20218 Healing Lavender in the hallway. Paint all white details lik ceiling, windows, doors and woodwork in LADY 9918 Klassisk Vit.
Test the colours before using.

Hello! I felt those colors will be too dark for my small apartment, also a bit too purple for me :) What do you think about Reflektion in Kitchen, Reflektion or Tudor in Hallway, Tudor in Living Room and maybe Gleam or Earthy Yellow in Bedroom? Would these still work with 9918 white? Thanks!

Hi again,
LADY 1622 Reflektion usually works with LADY 0552 Tudor but you need to test them in your light.
Yellow colours will make Tudor and sometimes Reflektion look slightly pink so I wouldn't chose a yellow colour in the bedroom.
What other colors do you like?

Hi
And, Tudor and Reflektion is best with white details in LADY 9918 Klassisk Vit.
