Grab a color from an accent pillow on your couch if you have one and use it on an accent wall. That is what I did. Hope this helps..
PS. If you don't have a pillow, use something in the room that is colorful and bring it out.
Since you like purple I would use a very light shade of orchid. did love it.
I use light gray and purple accents with it. It really looks pretty.
I really don't think anyone can tell another person what color to choose. However, the only advice I ever give is how to choose a color you will love for a long time. Go to your closet and arrange all your clothes by color. What is the one color which dominates? This will be the color that your feel most comfortable surrounding yourself with on a regular basis. If it happens to be a very neutral color, then look to your second most chosen color and use that as accents in your art and accessories. It's a lot easier to change out your accessories than it is to paint the room. Be sure you let us know what you choose and how your chose it.
how about a drapery. you can take it down and change it whenever you like. even get previously loved ones at good will
Me too! I was discussing this with my sister yesterday and she suggested I do the walls and wood furniture white, then use color for lamps, pillows, and anything easily changed. I can see this working for me, since I tend toward colors that would be too much for the walls in the living room. My kitchen is green, I have bedrooms that are gray and yellow, my laundry room is blue. I'm not tired of any of them. My living room is tan, and I am very tired of it!!
Grey is the new beige. It is a neutral color and goes with everything, so you can change out décor and it will still flow.
your best option is to go through paint charts ,bring them into your home,from there buy samples and test in your own lighting.Paint is very personal and honestly know one can tell you what is right or wrong
Someone beat me to it but a nice warm gray, on the lighter side would work. It would work with almost anything. Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter as an example.
Paint your walls beige and buy cheap reproductions of art in brilliant colors to hang and display and switch out for other pieces. Also hit garage sales, ebay and thrift stores. Try Georgia O'Keeffe' "Oriental Poppies" or anything Gaugin for reds and oranges or Chagall's "Heart Over Head" for blues and greens and VanGogh's "Sunflowers" for yellows and oranges! Get cheap frames for cheap art posters. A painting (poster) can inspire a throw pillow or blanket color or design or theme. For example flower art can inspire a vase of silk flowers in bright red. A Gaughin poster can make you think of Polynesia and big and small plants. Art is not meant to coordinate with your sofa but to inspire and awaken your creativity! Have fun!
Wall paper that can just be pulled right off is a good bet. You don't use paste or anything like that. It's almost like contact paper.
