What Color Furniture - Dark grey walls/oak wainscoting
Comments (15)I just painted the walls. I personally LOVE the color/look. I was originally going to paint the wainscoting as well, but I like it how it is. Ended up going with a charcoal sofa and love seat....See MoreWhat couch color compliments gray walls and dark hardwood floors?
Comments (8)Hard without knowing exact shades and your style and the whole concept you're going for, so totally agree with others-nothing will be as helpful as seeing your pics Without that crucial info-I can tell you so many colors your leather can be and work beautifully..whites/off whites, tan, blue, purple, green, pink..you see what's happening here? too many possibilities(and lascatx is right-generally speaking,you pay more if you want more "non-standard" color, not always but in most cases..not without exceptions though, and Macy's, with its limited choice, is indeed an exeption, somewhat. ) but many possibilities are nice to have too:) I personally love leather in colors..and find it much more versatile to use against different backgrounds/with many pallettes, than, say, something like black. (coming from someone who has more leather seating than she'd like to have lol..I've aubergine, off white, sunflower yellow, brick red..ready to switch some of these, at this point, frankly..I covered couple of armchairs as to have other textures, you know. they're obviously not situated in one room either..but one gets tired of leather after 20 years, even though of course it's immensely user friendly))) please post your pics if you want more specific advice/suggestions of stores, etc and whatever your style is-the lines is the most important thing (well and quality of course)..pleasing lines, good lines, whatever color you go for...See Moregrey couch with beige walls and one accent green wall
Comments (19)I appreciate all of the help and advice everyone!!! You really have no idea :). I decided to go with one of the area rugs Ellenoir17 suggested with blue green and grey in it. I think it will bring all my colors together very nicely and I’m definitely getting those white wooden blinds!! Thank you thank you again ladies!!! Now I know how helpful this app is and will probably ask more questions in the future!!! Special thank you to Ellenoir17 :)...See MoreGray walls with gray couch. What color area rug?
Comments (7)Hi Laura- I am not sure why you are showing us the bird pictures. Is it because you want us to see the shades of red you like? Are those the pictures you want on the wall? I too favor light curtains, especially as your room is painted that darker gray and the sofa is that same gray. If you want red as an accent color, you can add a vertical red band to the edge of the curtain panel. See below. You can buy a light-colored curtain and have a red band sewn on by the person who does your tailoring. As for art work above the sofa, the horizontal dimension should be 75% of the width of your sofa. You could get one piece that is that width, or get two pieces whose combined width including the separation between them adds up to that. If red is your accent, have some red in your art, and have some red in your throw pillows. But don't have them necessarily solid red. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. You can use a print or stripe or textural weave with red and gray (is gray the color of your sofa? or whatever the color of your sofas, that color plus red). I would not have the coffee and side tables from the same set, that is too matchy-matchy. If your end tables are round, then the coffee table can be square. If your coffee table is square, then your end tables should be round. In any event, you do not need or have room for end tables on both end of that sectional. The side near the door has no room or need for an end table, people at that end can use the coffee table. You can use a smaller end table at the end with the lounger, and please carefully measure that space (maybe move the sectional a bit closer to the door?) before you purchase an end table. Another thing to think about (and what do you think Houzzers?) since that far corner is so tight, instead of having that floor lamp there, what about a wall mounted sconce? You would get two, one for either end of the sofa. They come in many styles, and some even are adjustable to slide up and down. You could get one that is a plug-in so that you don't have to pay an electrician. You can also get a plug in hanging ceiling fixture. I love this contemporary fixture by Torre and Tagus which is pricey, but you probably can find a less expensive version that is plug in or can be converted to plug in. I can't tell how dark a gray your walls really are. I would favor a lighter shade of gray for the walls. If red is your accent color, then I would consider a red ottoman as shown in the photo above which is also shown with a sectional. You can have a lovely large wood tray to put on top for serving, and the ottoman can serve as extra seating, and you can even find an ottoman with storage inside. As for rugs, it depends what your tastes are. If you want to go contemporary, you can get a swirl design in red, black and white and gray. Or a handmade Oriental in either a Persian or nomadic style....See MoreRelated Professionals
