We Just moved into our house a few months ago and i want to paint my walls. Right now there is three sides, one side is wood which i like but the other two is wall paper. the wallpaper is pink flowers... thats what i hate! The other side of the room is open too the dinning room but has a fireplace breaking it up a little. so nothing needs to be done over there. Now we have a forest green couch set and the capret is a little bit lighter but very close to the couch color. I dont want white or beige walls i want it warmer look in the room but i know green will more then likly make it too green. i Dont know what eles to put up on the walls. there is more colors in our couch, there is a light brown which acts well with the wood sided wall and green and red. several shades of red and green in the pillows but the couch itself is all green. If anyone has n e ideas please give your input! thanks!

with the colors you describe, I would go with a yellow. There are many shades. I would go with a light creamy yellow. It would look great with the greens. Yellow and browns go together and believe it or not, red and yellow look fantastic together. Peel that paper off before you paint those walls. Good Luck

A soft parchement color like a creamy yellow/gold color would really set off the autumn colors of your funishings. Im not a Yellow or a Gold person, but I do love this color. I have lots of autumn color in my home and I used this in my hallway The color I used was called Calm Air # 300E-2 made by Behr paint. it is a warm color. It looks good with the brown wood furnishing and green that I have in my hallway. Although it was a little darker than I wanted and I had Lowes color match it and make it a little bit lighter. Good Luck finding the right color.

I'm with the first guy (or gal), I think a nice mocha would work well. My advice is to get as many samples of colors as you can from a place like home depot or lowes (even places like wal-mart have the color sample cards) and hold them up against the walls you want to paint until you feel inspired. You may find that the most expensive brand of paint has the color you like the most - happens to me all the time - but usually the store can match any color (or close to) in a less expensive brand.

I like the idea of a mocha or cappuccino color, just remember to use a primer and to tint it if you are going for a dark shade. Sometimes white bleeds through. It took my SIL 4-5 coats of red paint to get their wall from looking two toned.

Sounds like my family room. I painted three walls a sunflower color and the fourth a candy apple red. I swear when you are painting you are going to feel like your in a high school cafeteria but when it's all done, it looks like an Ethan Allen ad.

Try a soft mocha maybe.
