Hey! This is a photo of the, "Pink Indoor Trellis Moroccan Area Rug". I am wondering if anyone can help find the perfect pink paint color to go with this rug. I am going crazy with the amount of shades of pink I have to choose from 🤣 Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Pink walls with that rug is IMO a bad idea a nice white wall would be the perfect choice

Gorgeous white by Sherwin Williams is my FAVORITE pink. Just used it in my daughters room, she’s 1 and I’m obsessed.

Hi Annette Galloway- So sorry about your flood! Your room is lovely and a beautiful rug will enhance its look. $2000 is a lot of money and for that amount you should be getting a quality hand made Oriental rug that you have seen in person. These days you can get a great deal on a hand knotted Persian rug and you can get one in the size you need and the colors you want- ivory, tan, beige, brown, blues, etc for the money you want to spend. I would suggest first educating yourself on Oriental carpets, the types and how they are made and what the marks of quality are. Then go to a bunch of stores and be very polite and ask lots of questions. Say you are in the market but first you need to educate yourself before you buy anything because this is a big purchase for you. Don’t even bring your credit card so you won’t be tempted. Take a few months at least to learn in your mind and educate your eye and your hand. Then you can be ready to spend. If you have a very trustworthy friend who grew up in a culture with these carpets that you can take with you when you go shopping that is great, if not you can go by yourself. Good luck and happy shopping! Be sure to get a pad for under the carpet too.

Need ideas for exterior paint to go with pink brick on ranch house

Dark gray or medium gray for the stucco above the brick - yes. Paint garage door to match the stucco color you ultimately choose. Paint your front door an accent color. Choose your accent color after you have painted the stucco and garage door. Your green front door might even work as is depending upon the stucco color you select. I like how these colors work with the brick on the insp pic below. Shutters - no. Remove them. You don't need them. Here is a brief article why they won't ever work on those windows https://www.lifeofanarchitect.com/residential-architecture-101-shutters/ Landscaping would really help with your curb appeal. It makes a huge difference on how your home is presented to the world.

Hi, Jill, it’s hard to say without knowing how the rest of your house is decorated, what style(s) you like best, if you like patterns, want other colors, etc. Just based on your pictures here, a couple of ideas. These are not to scale, but just to give an idea and see if you like these looks or are wanting something completely different: https://www.potterybarn.com/products/pb-classic-tapered-metal-linear-chandelier/?pkey=cchandeliers https://www.cb2.com/indira-faded-red-rug/f18105 https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-faded-persian/Olive/200KSRS09A-P.html https://www.westelm.com/products/sculptural-glass-canned-5-light-chandelier-champagne-36-w3633/?pkey=c

From this Canadian website, https://thepaintpeople.com/painting-101/top-10-benjamin-moore-light-neutrals/ They mention "It was hard to decide between the two very similar brown-gray neutrals, 2111-60 Barren Plain and 2108-60 Abalone, so I’ve decided to mention both. They’re both comprised of violet/pink undertones, which is intensified under cool light (ie: daylight) and all but disappears under warm lighting, (ie: warm pot lights). These colours are rooted in a brown base colour that leaves the impression of a warm gray, but typically remaining light and neutral!" There is also Classic Gray – LRV: 74.74, Pale Oak – LRV: 69.89, Dreamy Cloud - LRV:76 meaning it will reflect quite a bit of light back into a room. In an intensely lit room with direct sunlight, it will fade out quite a bit but will regain its colour once the sun shifts.

Thank you, Jacklyn and Houssaon. I've got a question for you Houssaon. What are the names of all those pinks?

I think a very pale pink would be stunning. My faves are First Light and Pink Bliss. Scroll down to see them.

Get the BM or SW colour matching app on your phone and see what it comes up with in daylight in your actual space. Alternatively, bring the rug into any paint store for a more accurate match.

I think if you have crisp white curtains and bedding, pink on the walls would not be too much. Camel is another color that surprisingly goes well with pink.

I am a bit distrustful of the color accuracy of manufacturer photos, so I'm not sure how helpful any recommendations we make will be. It may narrow your starting field, but if the photo color is off you may find yourself at square one again.

My paint strategy is just to grab a lot of swatches to start with, lighter to darker, warmer to cooler, and more saturated to less saturated. For you, it sounds like your first cut will be how it looks with the rug (which I assume you have in hand or will have in hand when the time comes). You should be able to immediately narrow the field substantially. Then tape the passing colors to the wall and eliminate the ones you like least, making evaluations at different times of day and moving the swatches from wall to wall. When are down to a manageable number of colors you can look at larger samples (paint your own on foam board or use Samplize).

When you sample paint colors, use a foam core board. Much easier to narrow down and move to various walls to check the color.

Oh my gosh, was looking at bedroom photos and saw this and recalled your rug.. if you are not fixated on matchy pink walls, try this mauve will make your rug pop even more

The shade of mauve on that wall behind the cabinet or the one on the ceiling depending on how much light there is in that bedroom.

If you truly desire pink walls, Dunn Edwards has a 'Translucent Silk' color. The product or color number is, #DE5147, and is a very light pink. However, if you'd like to try lighter walls to break up some of the pink in your space, I suggest 2 additional colors: Lace Veil (#DE6372 which is a lighter gray), AND Whisper (#DEW340).

Thank you everyone! I do believe a different color would be better for the pink rug, but my little one wants everything pink 🤣
