Wall color to complement taupe couch?
Comments (28)I think I've almost got a color narrowed down. I found a really nice grey that is almost right, so I'm going to try to get a darker sample and see if it will be as fantastic as I'm hoping it will be. However, I've hit another problem. As I look at my fireplace (which I hope to strip back down to its natural brick), I've realized that the proportions are really throwing me off. The mantle seems too small considering the size of the fireplace. Am I crazy in thinking so? Something has to be done with the mantle anyway, since it's not even attached to the fireplace. We can pull it right off, which seems a bit dangerous since there's also an outlet built into it. I like the look of this sort of fireplace, with the pretty white wood against the dark brick. They even have dark walls, which helps me to visualize what mine could look like. But given the shape of mine, I can't really see a way to achieve that look. Any ideas on how I might? The bits of brick that stick out at the top, as well as the fact that my brick doesn't extend to the ceiling, has me thinking I won't be able to just attach boards. Maybe I should just make the mantle a bit thicker? From the floor to the top of the brick is 52 3/4" and the width is 55 1/2", if that helps....See MoreLiving room and game room paint colors!!

Comments (10)Accent walls are fine as long as the change in paint color has a special purpose. They are not fine when paint is thrown up on wall, willy nilly, with no thought to actual design. I like one behind a headboard; when a t v in on a wall and you want the t v to disappear (black, for instance), in a modern home, calling attention to an angled wall, to use as a backdrop for art, and if you are trying to make a room look wider or shorter. And your ceiling is a wall…love a haint blue on ceilings....See Morecomplementary wall colors
Comments (1)You have chosen two saturated Historic darker colors and, IMO, you need continue that look. Low light rooms I tend to treat as North light, so red Is one of the best choices for your dining room. I don’t mean a bright red…more clay red to coordinate with tan and moss....See MoreTheresa Janssen
