Greys to go with cream and brown

I know it's not a true grey I'm looking for but I have a dark brown and cream house from when we decorated 12 yrs ago !
I can afford to do everything at once so thought a quick paint job throughout ( desperately needed) might have an impact as we save up.

So firstly I have a bedroom with dark brown bed and furniture , silver grey curtains and need a paint colour . I was thinking of keeping it neutral but could go with blue .

Them we have a white suite in our ensuite and light wood floor and cream stone looking tiles with bits of grey in . I would say they are on tne pink side of cream rather than the yellow side .
Would you do 2 different colours or the same.


Secondly I have a dark wood kitchen with cream stone tops and cream stone tiles can I paint tne walls anything other than cream ? Also this runs into the dining room through large arch so agsin same colour or different ?

Thanks for reading

Tbh. With so many different colours I would go for all neutral paint in the house. Maybe not magnolia but along the same lines. That way everything will flow.

I wouldn't do grey as it will make a mess of the place. If you fancy an update, gold accessories are very trendy at the mo and would look fantastic with brown and cream. I also think burnt orange on accessories would look good.

In terms of wall paint, I've got a fab colour in my living room- it's completely greige- literally half way between cream, brown and grey. Or you could do a muddy brown or another earthy tone - they look fab with brown. I've attached a couple examples of the internet.

Hi JoJo yes those are perfect , especially the middle one I have come to the same conclusion myself after a weekend of colour swatches and paint samples. Do you remember what colour you have

I'm not entirely sure. We definitely used Little Green paints and they were either Slaked Lime, French Grey, Portland Stone or Rolling Fog (they all come in light, medium and dark versions I think). Not sure which one exactly as we used different ones in different rooms but they now look quite samey Confused
