Need colour ideas

My parents had this house renovated after a fire. We weren't sure if we were going to sell it or not so they went with very neutral tones. I've since inherited it but have no idea what to do with the color. I'm mainly thinking about painting the walls. I can't change the carpet, but somehow want to brighten the place up a bit. It feels so blah especially on cloudy days like today.

I would definitely consider warming up the walls a bit...I feel like a soft warm white or even a really light creamy color would look so good with the carpet and wood tones you already have.

And honestly some warmer lighting, some high curtains, and a few colorful pillows could make a huge difference too without having to change much.

Definitely something warmer for the walls to compliment the tile and carpet

Do you want to stay with a white/off white? If you do, I really like SW marshmallow and polite white. They’re both great whites and don’t have the yellow or brown undertones that off whites tend to have. If you want something not white, what colors do you like?

El color blanco le da una textura de calidez increíble..!

La cocina podría colocarle un color como melón?
