Does anyone have any thoughts about what color to paint the walls. I have to picture windows in the room with navy blues walls. The area rug that I have picked out has blues, creams, yellow, black, dark orange, red, and a little green. The room is also very small and has my dining area connected with no specific color except the same drapes. I think on the walls I would like a neutral color but I do not know what. Does any one have any thought?

It has been blue for about 5 years now or I would pick blue. I am just sick of it.

I made a mistake the curtains are navy blue and the walls are a light blue. I love green but do not think that it will work with the curtains. I would like a neutral color but am not sure what.

I have a new microfiber couch, loveseat, big chair set like you descibe. Ours is light cream colored, too. Our living room was a chocolate brown and looked like a cave and with the new furniture it looked really bad. We painted it yellow with paint we got from Home Depot. It looks great. You would be surprised how lighter colors make the room look bigger and makes you feel happier, seriously.

Paint the walls the green color. If it is too dark, do it in the same color but a lighter shade.Then use the brighter colors in the rug for the art and some throw pillows and decorative items.You could use the same color in the dining room and even do it a shade darker.Green is a soothing color and will help the room look larger. Yellow would be too pale with the cream couch.If you keep the wtwo tooms the same color it will help to look like more space. If you use diff colors it will look chopped up and smaller.You don't mention what color or style your drapes are so it is hard to say for sure what color to paint with!Have fun!!

Painting the room in any dark color will make the room feel even smaller...I suggest some light color, but add some color to the sofas with some nicely colored throws and pillows that also go with your area rug.

I have the same color of microfiber couch, chair and loveseat. I am wanting to paint my walls a neutral brownish, like mocha type color, like an earthy color. I think it will look good.

the same color as your couch, or maybe a cream or yellow, that navy blue would be very enclosing. maybe a nice warm gold instead of yellow, to give it more depth. sort of a caramel shade

green is the easiest color for the human eye to see. it is also very relaxing to have around you and there are dozens of shades to choose from.but whatever color you end up going with i would recommend it be a light shade if your space is small.
