Color to paint desk?

Anna B
by Anna B
I have a small late 1940's desk with drawers on either side. (sorry, no pics). I got it a thrift store so it needs re-finishing or painting. The room is rather casual with a dark gold modern sofa, hunter green recliner, gold, hunter green and berry patterned side chair. The walls are a creamy honey beige. Oh, the rug is a floral light sage green with mustard, rust,teal and dark green large flowers. I think I want to paint the desk, but I want to put a pop of color into the otherwise sedately colored room. Shout out your first reaction!

  • Its hard to tell without seeing the room but gold metallic would definitely give it some vavoom.

    how about painting it the berry color with a hint of the cream and or gold as accent colors? or ream with the betty color as the accent?

    I painted mine dark purple. There's nothing else in the room that color, but it's the same intensity as some of the red in the nearby artwork, so I thought it would mesh well. I don't like matchy-poo.
