Experience I began as a decorative painter/artist 15 years ago. My work has appeared in magazines from award winning designer show houses in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and Architectural Digest. Most recently I have spent the last 3 years creating, developing and patenting a numerical color selection system that takes the subjective nature out of color. Since it is numerically based, color can be chosen quickly and accurately. For the past year, I have conducted training seminars for the "Color with No Regrets" System to decorating professionals around the United States. My background in decorative painting/art, has given me real life experience of how color works but more importantly why it works based on sound color principles. I am also an authorized Aqua Finishing Solutions Distributor and a certified training instructor for the Society of Decorating Professionals.

Question Need help i have kitchen dinning room. cupboards are beech table and furniture are of similar colors what colorshould i do the walls help
Answer Hi Mary,
You have so many options. Since this is a lighter wood...I would use a cooler color such as Blue-Green or Green, but really it's so neutral that you could use almost everything. I would stay away from the pale peachy, pink and yellow tones. You could use stronger deeper tones of these colors such as terra-cotta...but the lighter ones won't look good with your cabinets and furniture. I hope this is helpful for you.
Let me know if you have any other questions or if one of these colors appeals to you. If so, let me know and I will send back a specific color name to narrow the focus a bit. I'm happy to help.
