You're welcome! =) I think a shade of grey will be a great addition to the room. The red one in the photo doesn't really suit it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! angelinavick@ymail.com

If you want to highlight the staircase wall then your could use earthy colours such as a yellow ochre! The wall could be enhanced even more by using suitable frames and making a good collage composition for all the photos that you have (I can see many lying on the dining table). This colour would match well with wooden furnitures

Thank you Sum Architects.....will follow your suggestion and put pictures of room (before & after) on Houzz to share the results.

Hi Sonia, the flooring does look good. For the walls, apart from off white, you could also go in for grey, the cool undertones. That will really enhance the overall look of the room and the beautiful flooring. Even darker shades of grey or olive green would enhance the look, if you are comfortable with slightly darker palette.
