When we moved into our new place, the walls of the living/dining/kitchen were painted a taupe-y tan color which is probably a great neutral choice, but it doesn't really work with our style. The below picture is how the bar looked when we first moved in against the original paint color.

And this is how it looks after we had the entire living/dining/kitchen painted in a light grey called Graylyn Crest from Ace:
While we love this color choice, we have been debating if it would make the bar set up look better if we painted the small wall it sits in front of a dark bold color. We originally considered a deep majestic navy blue, but we already have a lot of navy throughout those rooms in the form of a huge area rug and our curtains. So now we are leaning towards a deep hunter green or potentially a more bright saturated emerald like one of these options:
In the meantime, we have decided to set the bar up, have a few cocktails and live with the current light grey for a couple weeks while we figure out what would look best.
What do you think? Paint it a bold color or leave it as it?
