What color can I combine with Green Granite?
Comments (6)The simple answer to your question is red,orange,violet and their variants. If you are serious about the secrets behind coordinating colors and you are willing to work at it the best advice I can offer follows. Contrary to what 99% of armchair decorators say about beige being neutral and therefore will work with any color combonation,,,,,WRONG! Beige is the single most mis-understood and difficult to work with color there is. The key to beige lie's in what is known as "undertone". Only a small % people possess the ability to detect undertones,the rest of us kust do some simple tests in order to know what a piticular beige's undertone is. With all that innocent looking beige in your bath,I highly recommend you take time to research "undertone in beige color"....See MoreWhat color can i combinations...?
Comments (1)satillo tiles generally go with a variety of colors, but you get yourself a rug and then design your room around that. you see you can not change out the saltillo whenever you change your decor, so it really should not count. here are some rooms that use those colors....See MoreWhat color combination of curtains go well with these dark cabinets
Comments (11)I'm so happy I could help you gs r. I would say your best bet for budget friendly custom draperies would be to find a local seamstress that works out of her home. Check Craigslist under services/creative. Make sure they share examples of their work with close ups. Not everyone that advertises really knows what they are doing. If you can see their work in person first, that's even better. If you find panels you like retail, a good seamstress would be able alter them to be one wide panel. I've done that before with lined panels. It's saves a lot of time and time is money so that could be very budget friendly. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. Not sure they allow private messages here, but I'd be happy to help. I've sewn since I was a wee child and started sewing things for my own bedroom when I was teen. My specialty is for the home....See MoreWrong stain colors or what is wrong here?
Comments (22)you have many, many wood tones. the cabs aren't bad in the last pic (the other pics it looks a little pinkish?) But the wood table, those wood chairs, the rattan and black,,,it's a bit much You also have a lot of patterned rugs. I like the colors, but think maybe this one under the table (I'd seriously look for a diff table) is a bit much. I like your console. try adding some elements on it that works w/the dining table. I'd look for some a bit diff, or refinish that current wood one. try some diff chairs w/it. Cant see if you have a table light or not new hardware is an option. something a little less bulky. I don't mind the black pendants because you do have the black windows. The stools really don't fit the style. Try a black stool w/a metal finish. Gold or silver is fine, depending on your pref. Furniture in the other room? pick something that matches the cabinet style this lighter wood table and solid rug color works a bit better or if you like a dark charcoal option: if you want more of an organic feel, try these options. and yes to potted green plants! If you liek the mcm vibe, you need some art and decor on that console by the stairs. style the console, hang some cool art on that wall off to the side. or, you could hang a mirror on that wall (art elsewhere) and style the console w/neutral elements...See Morechispa
