What shade of wood goes with chocolate brown walls?

Question

I want to use the color scheme chocolate brown/ivory/turquoise in my bedroom and was thinking of painting the walls chocolate brown and leaving the trim white. What color of furniture would look best and what color do I paint the vaulted ceiling. I want it warm and cozy, not dark and boxed in.

Answer 1

The ceiling could be creme or off white or the usual ceiling white. I'd probably go with a natural finish furniture like blonde or just a clear finish over any Oak furniture.

That allows a flow of natural, plus shows wood grains, and compliments the chocolate walls. I'd go really light on the Turq. other than in accents.

Great choices so far though in color combinations.

Great color scheme!! As far as wood furniture you will find out that most wood tones are very versatile with any color. I personally like the natural cherry or red oak. I painted my bedroom brown (sueded leather from Lowe's Signature Series), we have mission furniture so it has warm cherry stain. Used a lot of old trunks and candles to accessorize. We have red bedding with Ralph Lauren Leopard duvet paired with it. The wall color is so versatile that I have considered switching out the bedding for chocolate and turquoise scheme. As far as the ceiling, check our Lowe's decorative paint, give it some pizazz up there! You'll want to go lighter then the walls though.

I recommend Deep Reds and Purples. If your not a fan of those and color as long as its not too bright. You are already in the earth tones. I say use a few throw pillows in these colors and that should be all the color you need besides the window treatment. I have a brown couch and beigh walls. I just painted one accent wall a deep red and I am so pleased with the outcome. It looks rich and mature. Designer!!

Golden Oak

Answer 5

cream colored furniture. Also, if you paint the walls chocolate it will look boxy unless you use a light colored chair rail to break up the look. Leave the ceiling white or creamy, it makes the room look bigger. Use turquoise as an accent like tiebacks in curtains, a throw rug, pillows, etc.

Chocolate brown walls?

OMG, you are NOT serious, are you?

Dark colors make rooms look small, dark, and dingy. I'd suggest a light shade of the same color pallet and try the darker for the trim or accents.

Lemme guess....you have pink carpet and pea green furniture, right?
