I've heard some people recommend that you pick a color, paint the room, and decorate later. Is this good idea?

Answer 1

yes- I did it that way...worked out beautifully

Answer 2

If you consider that paint is a lot cheaper than new furniture I think it is better to find the furniture you like first and then pick the color out which will compliment it. It helps if you have an idea of what style or design you want to live in and then go from there.

Answer 3

Paint is available in thousands, if not millions, of colors. Therefore it only makes sense to decide on major room elements (furniture, fabrics, rugs) before you decide on the final shade of paint. Go ahead and collect paint chips and even narrow your preferences, but wait to buy the paint until you are sure it will go with everything else you've chosen. After all, you don't want to paint the walls a lovely sage green then find fabric for the room that includes sea green, not sage.

Answer 4

I don't think that is a good idea. Paint is considered an accessory and is easy to change when you get tired of it. Your furniture should be bought in a neutral color as it is more expensive and should last a long time. With neutral colored furniture, you will have a wide variety a paint color choices.When you want a change, you can easily change your paint color and your room will look completely different .

Answer 5

For the partitions i could bypass with a delicate colour of gray. Do a white trim around the doorways/abode windows. on your chair, do a black leather-based chaise or a chair & ottoman in a print (black simply by fact the main significant colour, perhaps a pink floral print on it). attempt meditated end tables & a crystal chandelier. Do a huge replicate on the wall & your poster. perhaps throw in different framed black & whites you have. Use black or silver frames.

Answer 6

i think it is, because you can always change your decorations as you go along. because if you buy the decorations and after you opaint your decorations dont match, or you decide to change the theme, your pretty much stuck with what you have. so thats my opinion. hope it works

Answer 7

I read that you pick your furniture first..then the least promininentor blending clolor inyour furniture willbe our wall color. that way evrything gets tied in together.

Answer 8

not really, unless you have colours that you already like together in mind.
i am always matching to fabric and wood work in my work as a painter and speciality finish artist.

Answer 9

What ever works for you
