I have painted my walls, but I would like to paint the opposite walls another color beside brown. Any suggestions

I have an area rug that has the same light brown in it as the walls, chocolate, and tan. With those colors in mind what color could I paint the other walls.

The use of color is also something very personal. It stimulates our senses, power our mood, and helps create a particular ambiance. How we respond to an individual color depends on our nature, extroverts tend to feel happy with bold colors, while introverts prefer more passive colors.

Through using specific combinations of color, combined with a careful consideration of simple color schemes is often the most effective.

Try not to use more than one or two principal colors in a room, as well as a contrasting or balancing tone. The best way to choose a background color for the room is to trial with a palette of different shades and tones, in combination with the color and textures of the furniture and materials. Remember the general color schemes of a home have to be in agreement. The walls define the space in a room, while the colors, to a large degree, define the mood.

Colored light, furnishing materials, and structural proportions, we can create a home that is welcoming, helpful, and comfortable. Walls are similar to background music: each color tone is like a musical note can create a pleasant-sounding harmony while others grate with each other.

The color with which we surround ourselves will without doubt have an effect on us, and so it is important to feel comfortable with our choice. A discussion with a professional color consultant can help to decide individual needs and select appropriate color.

Colors can be divided into three main groups: those that stimulate and uplift, those that relax and calm, and those that provide harmony or balance. So, having taken a number of things into thought when decorating a room, such as the size of the space, the amount of light, the function if the room, and the style and mood we wish to create, we finally, and most importantly, need to consider the needs of the people who use it.

I would suggest not painting the walls anything but cream or tan. You can use light blue as an accent. Believe me brown and blue go. Don't paint those other wall another bright color. You will hate it!!

Think autumn leaf colors - burnt orange, pumpkin, old gold, deep mustard. Keep it in a similar family and make sure there's some contrast. Depending on the size of the room, you also might want to go with sandalwood.

I love brown and have 2 brown rooms myself. You can do white, gold, green...or the more trendy and modern combinations with brown are pastel colors such as light pink and light blue.

I would say chocolate or tan so it is all in line with the rug.
Or you could go with grey or cream, that's always nice.
If you want to be daring, go with red. It goes with brown but it's out there.
Or you can revert to neutral white.

Aqua or any blue green combination. It brightens the whole room. Add bright yellow accents to really liven it up.

A lighter brown with spunged white in side looks really neat.
