Need advice on painting running walls into other rooms?

I want to paint the kitchen one color but do not have any walls or breaks that stop to have a different color into hallways or the office.


How do I do this?





Please look at pictures and tell me how to do this without adding molding to separate them.





Example: I want the office room maybe a dark green, and the kitchen egg shell white, and the hallway a different color.

After looking at your pictures, my best advice to you would be to paint in colors that are complementary to each other since you can see into one room from the other through those archways. The dark green and eggshell (or some other color of offwhite or taupe) would work well together. To make the transition between rooms paint each room in the desired color right up the the edges of the archways and doorways using painter's tape to make it a clean line. Then paint the inside of the archways with the lighter color to make the transition. In my opinion, this makes the transition much more appealing to the eye than using the darker color in the archway or a moulding. My friend and I did this in the transition between her living room and kitchen which are very open to each other with a half wall in between. Her living room is a dark brown and her kitchen is a light beige. It came out very well. Best of luck with your project!Need advice on painting running walls into other rooms?
Jennifer is right and with your arches it will look quite nice. You could coordinate your hall with a nice matching color that will go with both the kitchen and the office room. The prettiest dark green I have seen (I put it in my bedroom) is called Rosemary - its by Behr which Home Depot carries. This is such a saturated color that you can match alot with it. Look at the color card the Rosemary comes on and consider the lightest of those colors for the kitchen and the middle of those colors for the hallway. Good transitions all and quite attractive with your archways. Lots of work but well worth it.
If you go to your local home depo. they have color swatch books just for this. Make sure that your colors are complementary.
