BM Lenox Tan?

Hi I am going to have the main area of my house painted in a few weeks. The living room, dining room entry way and hallway are all open and connected.

I want a deep beige color, but dont want it to look peachy or gold. I have a lot of windows in this area.

I know this is a popular color. If you used Lenox Tax please share if you love or hate it!

Thanks

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

We have Lenox Tan in our office/den. I like it, but not sure for a whole open area... it definitely has a goldy/mustard tone to it. For a lighter version try Shaker Beige and for something with no yellow undertones (more gray) check out Smokey Taupe, my favorite!

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

Thanks! Your house is so nice! Smoky taupe looks great! Is it BM? I should buy the sample of that.

Browneyedgirl - Does the Lenox tax look gold/mustard in your house??


I am so scared b/c this is the second time in 2 years were are having the house painted so if I dont like it I will be stuck with it!!!

Thanks

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

lenox tan is a little goldish. my parents have it in their bathroom. its a pretty color.

we recently painted the upstairs of our high ranch BM sepia tan. the hallway, livingroom, and dining room are all connected and we wanted a warm tanish color too. check it out. the BM # is 1116

Thanks I will check that out. I have a high ranch too! It is an open floor plan and the entry way has that really high wall from the first floor to upstairs so there is a lot of wall space. I have to go back and get more samples now.

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

The colors look nice! Is that yellow in the kitchen? I have the same thing, very little wall space in the kitchen to paint. I was thinking a pale yellow as well to contract with dark cabinets.

Did you hang anything on the wall that going from the first to second floor? I am not sure it something will look out of place on that big wall.

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

I used it, it's fairly dark. Love it but better for an area with alot of light. To me, it does have a warm/goldish hue IMO.

its the same color, just different lighting.. so weird right?! ill take some better pictures for you tomorrow.

we didnt hang anything on that wall yet, FH is moving in this week and im not moving in this after the wedding (in July) so we can take our time with decor.

i was thinking a huge metal art piece on that wall. i think the wall definitely needs something!! its so big and bare!

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

I thought I wanted Lenox Tan but it looked golder than I wanted when I put it on the wall. We went with Brandon Beige which is definitely more taupey.

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

I have Lenox Tan in my living room and love it. But it is a very rich color and goldish. I was afraid it would be too dark for all over the house so I went with BM Bleeker Beige for ur hallways. I know BM Shaker Beige is more muted as well and that's on the same color palette as Lenox Tan.

Pics In My Album of both colors.

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

I'm debating the SAME EXACT thing right now.

I've got Smokey Taupe in the mix or Manchester Tan.

My current bedroom is Manchester Tan and I love it. The only concern I have is that it's "lighter" than the taupe I want. I'll have a fireplace that I want to paint white, so I want the color of the tan to pop out w/out drowning out the house.

I thought the Lexon Tan was gorgeous, just to dark for the entire livingroom/dining room etc....

I probably will do the Smokey Taupe for everything, and the kitchen Manchester tan for a small contrast.

Best of luck to you! Can't wait to see pics.

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

also look at BM Quincy Tan and Putnam Ivory we used both in my house and love both!

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

we have the manchester tan in the halls and main area of our house and I love it... lenox tan didnt look great with the lighting in our house...

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

If you look in my house album there is a picture of my LR that also shows a hallway. The LR is Shaker Beige and the hallway is Lenox Tan.

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

Thanks everyone! I have a few more weeks to decide so I'm going to buy some more samples. I will post my first pics soon!

I had the house painted when we first moved in and the color came out totally wrong so I am so nervous!! LOL If it comes out bad again I will be stuck with it!

Jen - I like the iron wall decor next to the door! How did you hang it? That wall is so high! I think I have the same dining room set as you. Is it Canadel from Fortunoff?

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

I have BM Bar Harbor Beige in my foyer, two story entry, and upstairs and dowsntairs hallways.

Love it!!

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

Re: BM Lenox Tan?

I love Canadel and get a lot of complements on it. I have 2 matching corner units for the dining room to match. I also found stools for the island that have the same exact back as the dining room set and they are birch as well. (not Canadel but another company in Canada) I never went in Tiffany furniture before. I will have to post pics soon but now the place is all covered in plastic.....
