What color to paint rooms in home if cabinets, furniture, floors, etc. are all brown colored?

I want to add more color to my hallways, kitchen, living room, etc., but the problem is that i would like to avoid the color brown. The reason is cabinets in the kitchen, couches, dining tables are all brown or tan based, but I do have white tiles floors throughout the home that include brown 1/4 grout spacers. So, ideally i would like to use some green, purple, blue, pretty much any light color to make my house seem bigger.What color to paint rooms in home if cabinets, furniture, floors, etc. are all brown colored?
How about a pale blue, like ';Swimming'; by Sherwin Williams? It's a lovely bright blue that would look fantastic with all of your wood. Brown %26amp; blue is a really hot color combo right now. Check it out:

If you have any trim or need to paint the ceiling, ';extra white'; will add to the brightness factor. A bright area rug will help, too:

I also think some lime colored artwork would look really smashing against that blue wall color. I like “an orchid 1941” or “Peacock Be-bop II”:

My floors are brown wood and I have brown carpet. I prefer yellows and tan's . My bedroom is a sage green and I find it relaxing and restful. My kitchen is a lite butter yellow. My extra bedrooms are a tan color called carrington beige, looks classy. Choose colors you like, find a good ';paint store'; and they will usually help you choose colors, or you could hire an interior decorator to help with colors usually the charge will be under $100.00
With all that dark wood, I'd stick with paler pastel shades, but I don't think blue would be a good compliment to your wood tones.


I have pine floors in a medium stain finish, and while my home is always evolving, at this time I'm using buffy yellows and soft greens in varying intensities. It looks like springtime all year 'round :) I especially like one bedroom where I painted the background a pale yellow, then sponged stripes in a slightly deeper yellow...subtle, but beyond basic.
If you want to accentuate your furniture and cupboards. I would use oranges, yellows, reds, in light tone colours. I know it might sound tacky to you, however the colours are beautiful. greens are out! trust me all my furniture is dark , I have all the colours i have mentioned, makes the rooms warm and comfy looking. Beiges and whites are boring.it will give you that eclectic look-very nice.
a red living room can be fun. you can do it tri color like red, brown and medium sand
You can create a really nice ';spa'; modern feeling by going with a soft blue/green..it works great with chocolate and tans. you can use those three colors (browns/blue green/and crispy white) to pull together a really nice modern look. add a rug that has all three colors and put some white accessories and it should look great. Have fun!!

Well, it would be better if you will use light colors such as white, baby yellow because it will enhance your house.
