Paint for Blue Carpet in Living Room/Dining Room/Hallway/Stairs
Comments (36)Take a look at SW Restrained Gold and Blonde. Those are nice honey golds without being too brassy. Glidden Water Chestnut is also nice with blue. As for the stone, it may work with a new paint color, but if not go neutral with it and let that be the accent wall. You don't want to have competing focal points. The carpet is such a striking color that you may not need an accent wall though. Perhaps just a nice large piece of art or some really dynamic fabric. I would definitely paint the woodwork and paint the adjoining dining area the same color. You can set a nice tablescape with colorful place settings for some pizzazz. And i would absolutely change the light fixture in there. There are lots of affordable options out there. I attached some fabric swatch ideas using restrained gold and blonde. Enjoy decorating your new place....See MoreCarpet - one color everywhere, or a different color in each room
Comments (26)We did all the same carpet upstairs as well, @Alison - which includes the small den as you come up stairs and two bedrooms, with a “virtual hallway” (also therefore carpeted as den is adjacent to it without a wall) that runs as a spine with den, guest bath (tiled), and laundry room (tiled) off sides, and bedroom at each end. We also have carpet on our stair treads. Like with the bedrooms, we prefer carpet on stairs for many personal reasons (over hardwood, runners, etc) @shari13 - me too! I got to do that for my childhood bedroom my parents built in basement when I was 11/12 - it was great fun and helped it feel like *my* room :) Especially after having nightmarish carpet in our prior home - the pattern reminded me of skulls! @palimpest - I agree that different carpet can look rather grand where it suits! Your carpet sounds amazing! I hope one day you post photos. We did pay a bit to upgrade ours but sounds no where near as luxurious as yours. I really don’t find carpet to be that much upkeep some portray it as. The choice of carpet matters, and I also don’t wear shoes in house, but I find I have to sweep (or vacuum) a hard floor - and chase dust bunnies, etc - no less often than vacuum carpet (I have a long haired cat and am long hair myself, our long hair don’t care if it falls on carpet or hardwood!) And I’d rather vaccum carpet than sweep to be honest (I will usually vacuum hard floors instead so I still end up vacuuming!)...See MoreLiving room color scheme- need inspiration!
Comments (39)The word here is INTENT Jinx, Beth has no intent but to help the op.. . When you post multiple threads on the very same topic, it is no different than a "dupe" . Your answers become confusing, you have to check all your posts ! Another reader, whether gen pop or Pro, has no clue there are two OTHER posts! If you started another because your thread was getting no more replies? All you have to do to revive it is post another COMMENT. On that same thread! I like, I don;t like, etc. Is there a law that prevents starting a new thread? Of course not, but it defeats your intent..........which is to get help. . Intent: Design involves intent. A point of view, and purpose. When an OP says: : "I cannot decide how I want to do my living room." they are simply saying'" I'm LOST" They are saying they haven't got a clear intent in style, color , feel.....anything. In this case, the op has a sofa and cocktail table. End story. Why blue curtains, and that rug? I don't know why. The op probably doesn't know either. Rather than police comments? Break down the process for the OP. Suggest a pecking order for the lost. Take DOWN the blue curtains. Please. The room is not yet ready for them. In any color. Find an 8 x 10 rug that acknowledges the sofa/sectional in some way. A bit of that tone in the rug. .......it has to be something you really like. Come back to THIS thread, and post what you found. YOU have to decide......and you must begin somewhere, You don't begin with paint. You don't begin with curtains. You give yourself a road map to follow. The rug you have relates to nothing in tone, it is too small. Start with a rug. Come back....See MoreGold shag carpeted living room, paint color?
Comments (19)If leaning towards a stained wood focal wall, I would not use reclaimed barnwood, or it could feel like a basement with dated shag. Suggest leaning more contemporary with the black leather couch you referenced and use light grey paint and black/grey/white when accessorizing. (Hard to tell the carpeting’s color, as it looks greenish, but you mentioned gold.) Down the road, if you change the flooring, you are not committed in a big way to gold. https://www.blueistyleblog.com/choosing-paint-colors-pick-the-right-gray/...See Moretorreykm
