Pulling a Bedroom Together with Black Furniture and Blue Carpet
Question
I am moving into a new apartment and the bedroom already has blue carpet. My bedroom furniture is a dark wood with black marble table tops and the headboard is black marble. How can I pull all these things together? What would be the best color for the walls?
Answer
Try playing around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the “painted” rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours. Try checking out these links: http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/ I think a light gray like “worldly gray” (# 7043) would combine the blue & black really well. You could also add an area rug like one of these: http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Calyx_Area_Rug/210/ http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Celestial_Area_Rug/310/ http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Zebra_Area_Rug/210/ You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website: http://www.roomvues.com/ You can get color suggestions & they’ll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
