I had to choose a neutral colour for walls in the livingroom (well the only room since it's a small apartment) and I didn't want white or light grey so I chose beige. I just hate the fact beige is so light and kinda boring. What colors go with beige with the decorating, what colour sofa and paintings? I'm thinking about pinkyish flowers and ornaments but I can't make it all pinky even if I wanted to;) I want it to be really cute and not use too many colours.. What colours would be good with light pink, pink, beige and light brown (a hint darker than beige) laminte floors? 10 points for sure! Thank you :)
The problem if you go with more browns or beiges, is that it will not only look boring, but very Ikea, personally I think you should go for a far removed colour, by wither goingsophisticated with a deep oxblood or gun metal grey, or go outlandish with a pillarbox red or a candy purple; and all the colours would still fit nicely with the few splashes of pink, whilst still having a hint of masculine for your other half
deep purples and creams, earthy tones would also look great :)
I've used chocolates and brick tones. Mine looks great.
Try a soft buttery yellow (unless your room has north-facing windows, in which case, avoid yellows), or a light green (think plant green, not sea green). Apricot or peach are also options. If you use a blue wall colour, your room could become overwhelmingly blue - and while white has its place, from what you've described, I suspect that white will give your room a slightly industrial quality - not really what you're looking for! To coordinate your living and dining room, think texture instead of colour - use the same colour in both spaces with different textures (don't be intimidated, there are plenty of easy paint finishes out there that look great. . .your local paint shop can provide you with instructions). Alternatively, find a colour you like in your living room and use a related shade in your dining room (as a rule of thumb, go lighter in your living space and darker in your dining room). Finally, before you commit to a colour, get a sample can from your paint store, go home and paint a spot on the wall (about eighteen inches square) in a nice, visible spot. Live with the spot for a few days and see how it looks (remember to prime under and around it, if you currently have a dark or very different colour). If you don't love it now, you never will (and you'll have to pick a new colour) but at least you won't have to repaint the whole room! And don't panic if you don't get the first one right - even the pros make mistakes (and they spend years learning to visualise colour).
You okorder /. For the curtains or blinds, I would stay in the same color family as the walls. The reason for all the beige is to create a backdrop for the colors you want to add. Also keeping the walls, flooring and sofa neutral, you can easily change the whole look of the room whenever you like by just switching out the pillows and rug, and changing one or two pics in the room. Hope this helps.
