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 MoreNeed help with living room carpet choice!
Comments (6)I have a similar paint in my LR--BM Georgian Green. Five years ago we changed our light tan carpet for Shaw Anso Nylon in Move On Up in the color Willowbrook. It's kind of a toast color with dark green and other color flecks. The room faces north and though it's darker than the previous carpet, I really like how it grounds the room and makes it feel cozy. It works great with the paint and furniture which is toast, brick red, and black. It's also very soft, as soft as Smartstrand, but I trusted nylon's wearability more than I did SS, a newer product. It never shows dirt. There are photos of it on the internet....See MoreHelp picking out furniture and carpet for my living room
Comments (7)No, I don't think it would be a sea of beige at all. You really don't want every single thing to pop out with color. I can see that in your choices so far! I think it's a great idea to make a neutral background, and have your large, expensive items be neutral in general, and make the less expensive, more easily changeable items have the color you like. The beige doesn't jump out when you look at the photos. What jumps out is huge brown items. So, think about getting a lighter neutral (not quite so matchy matchy) chair. Maybe a tan color, or an upholstered fabric piece. Because I have kids, I always pick out a very sturdy, very cleanable material like a high-quality chenille, that has 2 colors in it (if you look closely). Or a subtle pattern--which would make any spills easier to clean. For color, you can add a cozy and attractive throw. Pick out a rug! You can check out esalerugs. Or rugsusa, or one of my favorites, overstock, because you can read reviews to see if the photos represent the actual rug, and the shipping is free. Or go visit World Market or Pier 1 online. Returns can be easily brought back to the store. Or Pottery Barn, with a coupon or on sale; you can sometimes get a bargain. I found these 2 on overstock. These are 9 X 12. I think the first one was $300+ and the second one was $600+. Be sure to buy a big enough rug. You want the front feet of the furniture (at least) on the rug, and the rug pretty much centered in that room....See Moreliving room layout help- front door opens into living room
Comments (2)My living room layout is very similar! I had my couch horizontal in front of your window creating a entryway, maybe put a console table behind the couch....See Morejill302
