what colour scheme?

Question

im decorating, have a blue settee and carpet what colour would go best ie on the walls, curtain colours etc was thinking of a light beige or cream but not sure now!

Answer 1

your choice would work very nice cream always looks well with blue have fun

Answer 2

I always like cream on the walls, it makes the room lighter and it's neutral so it's easy to decorate with. The curtains might be nice in a cream tweed with flecks of blue and taupe, here they would be called "drapes" and that type of fabric is readily available. If you can't get that, try some type of subtle floral with mostly cream and a darker blue with taupe or green. Then you can have accent pillows on the settee that match the curtain colors.

Answer 3

Try 3 walls with Apricot white and a light beige on the other. All soft colours and very smart looking. I am an interior decorator. Ceiling must be matt white.

Answer 4

blue(candy blue well any light blue) and brown goes lovely so do the walls beige with some nice brown and blue prints and touches of brown vases candles ect i think brown curtains would be nice as u dont want the curtains the same colour as the walls or couch good luck

Answer 5

cream or beige is the best choice, but later on you may get bored because both are relaxing colours. maybe you should add some spicing-up details to room. like little light orange ornaments on curtains. if you use turquoise, then you should go with brown tones like dark beige etc.

Answer 6

Cream would be good. If the blue is light choose a slightly darker cream but if the blue is dark choose a lighter cream.
I find beige sometimes looks "dirty" depending on the other colors it is with.

Answer 7

if it's dark blue, then cream will be perfect
light blue>>> some light oranges would fit or may be white for curtains or that color between dark beige and orange

i suggest hot colors

Answer 8

I think you should stay in the beige family. In my opinion, blue and beige looks fabulous together. If you want to go darker try creamy mocha. Good Luck!

Answer 9

if you want the colors that will go together, and want a bright theme, go with oragne. But if you want it to be pretty but not out of the ordinary, then I would go with a cream. a creamy pale yellow. not yellow, more like cream but yellow cased. But that's what I'd do. I've seen those colors together and they look great! Ivory crema would look very good. Best of luck to you!

Answer 10

Answer 11

i think beige or cream would look great, or depending on the blue, chocolate might go well with it. good luck
