Answer 1

Neutral tones are especially practical in the world of decoration because their neutrally means they can easily be teamed up with other colors. Warm colors make a room seem smaller and more homey, a place where we can retreat to unwind.

There are many techniques for increasing the expressiveness of the walls and for making your home a place where you feel at ease. Many neutral tones are associated with natural materials, stone, earth, wood, straw, sand or with artificial materials such as metal, glass, and concrete.

Here are ten household helpful hints for choosing colors and wall covering fabrics to decorate your home:

1. White and neutral tones are an ideal backdrop to make a work of art or tapestry stand out.

2. Neutral tones should be applied when a space is overloaded architecturally, or when we want something to fade into the background.

3. Neutral tones age well so they can be used where you do not redecorate, or touch up, very often; or if our intention is to specifically create an aged effect.

4. Variations on neutral tones are ideal for small rooms.

5. White and neutral tones are a great way of combining different decorative styles as they act as a neutral transition zone between one style and the other.

6. Gray metal or gray concrete, two neutral tones, are especially apt for creating modern ambience with a cutting edge feel.

7. Textured neutral tones, like limestone or temperate paint, are perfect for creating rustic effects.

8. Neutral tones fabrics, carpets, curtains, or tapestries are a great help when decorating because they go well with al the colors.

9. If you want a room steeped in neutral tones to be livelier, you can introduce a few dramatic color touches dark colors, even black, are a good solution.

10. A neutral tone is perfect for painting a wall or doors that you want to be inconspicuous.

Answer 2

Hunter Green Carpet

Answer 3

Since hunter green is a darker color, you want walls that will be a lighter color. Hunter green is also a woodsy, earthy color and therefore you should probably go with paints that are more neutral or earth tones. Here are some shades I would try:

- White
- Light - Med. Beige
- Light - Med. Brown
- Light - Med. Grey

Or possibly if you really like green:
- Light - Olive Green

For a rich deep color you could use maroon, but you risk the Christmas colored room association.

The yellow and green combination I think can sometimes work for the outside of a house with green shudders and a green roof and yellow siding, but x-nay on inside. I think the two contrast too much to use together inside a house.

My favorite combo would be a nice beige or brown with the carpeting followed by grey or white as runner-ups.

Hunter green is a strong color, so you certainly want to stay away from any thing bold or dark, unless you want a library effect, which can be very attractive, but that doesn't sound like the look you want. You didn't say what color your existing furniture is, or what woodtones...dark, light, natural? My guess is that you want a traditional look, and a good choice would be in beiges that have gold and yellow undertones. If you look at paint chips at the store, you will notice the variation of white/beige,yellow tints. To make it easier, bring a swatch of fabric, or a pillow from your sofa and chairs. Try to find the lightest tone in the fabric, if it's a print. If solid, ask the clerk if he can tell you what undertones are in the swatch. Try to choose a color that doesn't clash, but blends harmoniously with the light shade. Another way to tone down the green, place a large area rug to ground the conversation area, i.e. sofa, loveseat, chairs, coffee table. Pull the furniture away from the walls far enough that you can stand behind each piece. Place the furniture in a pleasing arrangement, so that the front legs of all the pieces set on the rug. Think, conversation...people should be able to talk to the person across from them. Place the coffee table 18 inches from the front of the sofa. The rug can be any color pulled from your upholstered furniture, or a modern pattern, if your furniture is a solid color or a tiny pattern. Hope that helps.

Answer 6

Hunter Green carpet is a bit dated. If you want a fresh, more modern look, find a nice neutral room-sized rug, or if you have vinyl or wood floors under the carpet, do away with it.

Next find a fabric, a throw pillow, a wall hanging or piect of art tht has all of the colors that you are drawn to and use it as your pallet. Pick the lightest for the walls, another for the trim and the third (you can add a fourth) as accent colors with, say, drapes and throw pillows. This is a designers trick and it works!

Good Luck.

Answer 7

A warm butter yellow or you could keep the walls white and add a chair rail painting it the same shade hunter green and either do a wall paper underneath or paint some hunter green and white symetrical stripes. My mom has carpet the same color and she added a hunter green chair rail and painted white above and stenciled an ivy pattern below, you could also use an ivy wall paper. It looked real good when she was done.

Answer 8

I also think cream is a good color but you could go with some wall paper with some kind of print that has the color in it . Something that will go with the rest of your house. Maybe you could Put the cream color on and then sponge on some hunter green paint in a random pattern on the walls. It will look great and it is easy to do.

Answer 9

Choose a lighter green, perhaps a 'sea green' that has lots of 'white' in it ... or choose a pale yellow color. I like the hunter green carpet and the 'sea green' walls, though ... but if you do use the 'same' color, just lighter, then you'll need to choose a good 'contrasting' color to 'brighten up' the whole room ... a nice 'medium red' would work, or a 'pattern' with pink and burgundy would also be good.

Answer 10

Yellow or cream might be best - be sure to get paint chip samples and look at them in the room at different times of the day to see what you like best, whatever color you choose. I have hunter green carpets myself and I like a light yellow shade. I also like pink, but I wouldn't recommend that for your purposes.
