Question

What paint color and carpet color would best go with this living room set, http://www.roomstogo.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=showRoom&roo_id=2691

Answer 1

I personally would go with any light pastel color.

Answer 2

It depends on how bold you want to be. If it were me and I had the green light to do what I wanted. I may go for a pearly white, something with shine to it. But if you wanted to go dark the an antique brush bronze effect might be nice, of course the combination of both paint treatments can work together with the dark on the bottom, pearly on top, separated by a chair railing of course. Then you can always match the colors of the couch to the paint in a high gloss, because the couch looks shiny, then add a deep red to the mix and use the 3 or four colors to make a very unique paint treatment. As for the carpet stay neutral, light or dark depends on the paint treatment you go with, unless the same deep red would look good.You might even find a carpet tat can pull all the element together for you! When I want to paint, I go to the store and leave with all the paint color papers that attract my attention, when I get home I tape them to the wall to see which one grows on me! Good Luck!

OMG! That is beautiful! I've never seen anything like that. Awsome choice. But as it has been said, u've picked neutral colors so u could put about anything w/ it. I noticed the rug in the pix has greens & maroon which would really nice.

I agree that u should either do a med to dkr carpet or hardwood floors or even titles in a med to deep color.

Depending on the size of u'r room, u could get away w/ doing maroon along w/ tans or dk green if u 'r going for earthy tones. Even rust, or navy, .. soft blues w/ tan. ... Keep creme in there as part of u'r accents colors if u go w/ darker on the walls.

R u going more for a modern/contemporary or something w/ sophistication? If it's more a little upscale, I would do stripes on the wall BUT w/ one color. U do the color u would choice. Say maroon. Then after it has dried, then tape for stripes whatever distance apart. Then paint ever other stripe w/ acrylic varnish in a semi-gloss & the base paint would b satin. That would really look rich. Or u could faux on of the walls or 2 of them. Tone on Tone w/ Golds & browns or Maroon & tans..

If it would b contemp/modern feel.. go w/ navy/maroon & tan on different walls.

Paint the walls that u c when u walk into the room the PUNCH color or whatever u want to have POP out.

I love that couch.. Have fun! That is goreous... send me a pix when u'r done

Answer 4

Really, anything. You've picked out a very neutral living room set, so almost any color would add to it. Since it is in browns and very natural looking, hard wood flooring (if possible) would look great, but also just a similar neutral carpet color would work nice too. I think a nice olive green or red would look great, but that's my personal taste. Good luck. I like the start you have.

Answer 5

You have picked a neutral living room, so the possibilities are really endless... So, it will come down to your favorite colors, your room size and orientation, and the feeling you need for the room... for example: my favorite are orange and blue which is a complementary color scheme, and I like warm atmospheres, so i would choose light dull Orange for the paint specially if my room is small, then i would use a rug with colors from my scheme: brown, beige, orange, blue with the right shade and degree... for the accessories i would use bolder and darker shades of these colors...
I didn't give colors, I just gave you ideas and advice on how to use your favorite color to reach the mood you want...!

I hope it was helpful! have fun with it all...!

Answer 10

i does not subject with regard to the poster colour. classic patterned fabric with colours of wealthy reds or burgundy, some deep golds and bronze and additionally deep olive or moss vegetables seem extremely advantageous with the mild yellow and lighter wood. provides a splash heat temperature and drama.
