Vintage Avocado Green Carpet and Wall Paint Color Choices
Comments (8)For a while I rented a condo unit that had similar carpet throughout (and matching green tile in the bathrooms). If a large element that you can't change isn't to your taste, the key is to avoid both playing to it and playing against it. Specifically, do not use a wall color that is a direct or near complement complement of green: that is, not red (or pink) and preferably not orange or purple, either, because all of those will make the green stand out instead of recede. I have deliberately used green carpet with pale yellow walls, but it was a grass green, not avocado. In this case, I would prefer a greenish khaki (not taupe - too pink!) or beige, which will somewhat blend with it. And not too light; the color has to be strong enough to withstand the green light that the floor will reflect. BTW, if the element that you can't change is a pattern rather than a solid, using more of the color that stands out too much is a way to tone it down. The same rented condo had bathroom cabinets clad in laminate in a violent gold pattern (this was against the expanse of avocado green tile), and I found that using a gold shower curtain and towels calmed it, because it made gold a background color rather than the foreground....See MorePaint color suggestion for ugly carpeting please
Comments (2)Try to find some bedding with that color -- even a small touch of it will help! On a neutral-colored bed -- even a small rectangle of fabric on an accent pillow will "move" that intense shade of color around the room! And look for a very inexpensive artwork with a bit of the jade color -- maybe even frame a bit of wallpaper or wrapping paper? Choosing a wall color of the same intensity -- like the plum might make the room feel very dark -- so be sure to add lots of lamps if you choose that color for your walls.

Comments (17)so we are buying a new bed. I'm thinking a cream tufted headboard and white bedding. Would agreeable grey or worldly gray or repose gray work with that? Or should I try a different color scheme?...See More- 2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoJ G thanked Celery. Visualization, Rendering images
