Hello.





Hope you are fine.





How to Select the Best Paint Color for a Room:





Choosing a paint color can be a little tricky because lighting and shadows affect it dramatically. Here are some tips for getting the color just right.








Instructions:





Step 1





Study color schemes you admire in home-decorating magazines and tear out any particularly appealing examples. Take them with you when shopping for paint.





Step 2





Remember that color usually seems more intense on walls than it does on a sample card. When it doubt, go a shade or two lighter.





Step 3





Keep in mind that yellow and rosy tones give a room a warm feeling. Greens, blues and grays are cooler colors.





Step 4





Avoid snow-white except in ultramodern, minimalist environments, because it will seem too harsh, giving a sterile, operating-room effect. It's better to go with a white that contains a hint of peach, beige or pink.





Step 5





Save bold color schemes for rooms where you don't spend long stretches of time, such as bathrooms and dining rooms. You may tire of these schemes if they're in the home office, kitchen, family room or other rooms in which you stay for hours.





Step 6





Take fabric with you if you're matching it. If you don't have a swatch, grab a sofa cushion, bedspread or curtain panel, for example.





Step 7





Start small, buying just a quart or so of paint, and then painting a section of wall with a paintbrush or roller. Or test the color on a good-size (perhaps 3 feet square) plywood or wallboard scrap, or on a piece of cardboard; set it against the walls in the room as the light changes (including artificial light) and evaluate it for a few days.





Step 8





Test a two-tone scheme, such as wainscoting in one color and walls in another, by painting two boards or painting one board in both colors.





Step 9





Repeat the test, tinkering with more pink, less peach or whatever seems appropriate, in small cans of paint until you're satisfied. Yes, the cost for sampling various paints can add up, but it can prevent the disaster of applying, say, three gallons of the wrong color and being forced to repaint.








Hope this helps you . Thank you.
Deep orange or green would be nice! I painted my living room orange and i got so many compliments even though i'm normally not an orange fan.


It really warms a room up and makes it feel really warm and homey.


a green would look nice with the brown bed spread and curtains.


but in the end it is up to your own taste
Darker colors will make a room seem smaller....the color pastel Peach would be perfect...it not only blends well with brown but with teal as well...Or you could lean towards a Mauve or muted med. pink too.


Light walls would be a great accent to your dark furniture %26amp; bedding.

.This is just a suggestion..dark chocolate brown on the wall behind the bed or on any one wall and whitey cream colour on the other walls.!!....
i think you should go for a velvet or beige light brown color to match the dark colors it'll make it elegant and real pretty
A shade of purple/lavender would look good with the dark furniture and the brown fabrics.
I think that u should paint it a nice red brown
maybe a minty green color?
lighter brownnn!
