painting walls?

Question

Going to paint my living room..My rug is baige.......So what colors are good to match the rug.......

Answer 1

Since the carpet is beige, you can use any color you like on the walls and it will be ok with the rug. I would concentrate more on the theme of the room. What type of furnishing do you have? Do you want the furnishings to blend or to pop? If you choose a color that is similar, the furnishings will blend in. If you choose a color that contrasts, the furnishings will stand out more. Remember dark colors will make a room seem smaller and light colors will make it seem bigger. Light colors (especially blues, greens and greys) often make a room feel cool and airy. While midtones or darker colors (such as golds, browns and reds) make a room feel warm and cozy. Paint chips are a great place to start but its sometimes hard to tell what to expect with such a tiny bit of color. One thing I like to do is find something that I like the color of (towel, sheet, blouse, pillow etc.) and look at it like a giant paint chip. Hope these ideas help.

Answer 2

you can't go wrong with any colors when working with beige carpet, but i would pick up color that would highlight other items in the room for example if you have a pillow on your couch you are fond of pick a color out of that, remember all of the walls don't have to be the same color.

Answer 3

Almost any color will go with beige. That's why they call it a neutral color.

Answer 4

blues and reds pick up that color well.
