It's not what you think you are, but what you think you are NOT that holds you back.

White will bring out their luster, and make your room feel larger.

 

I would paint the room in the beige family and leave the trim. But a good way is to take a arm cover to a paint store and someone will help you match your color best blend.  

 

white????  the trim is white an the room is big,  didn't you read my question? it said 10 ft. high ceilings, very lg. walls, all white trim, etc, etc,,,white is not a color nor is it in style...

 

i should have mentioned that the color is a beige now...it looks to bland against my brown furniture...i want something that makes my furniture pop

My daughter painted her living room, dining room and stairway with a Sherwin-Williams paint with the name "Latte."  I liked it so much I painted our bedroom that color.  It's rich light brown that would go well with your mossy green kitchen walls.  I know, because we have moss green curtains in our bedroom and they go very well together.  Some of our bedroom furniture is pine, and some maple, and they both go well with the Latte walls.
