Which paint to use in decorating- your opinion?

8/9/2011


I've been thinking of re-painting in the Fall, I have 17th Century Queen Anne Furniture
with Chinese objects, etc. I found a chart with colors from that era, my living room rug
is Chinese with burgundy border. I wanted to do one wall in color probably the wall behind
the fireplace. The kitchen is white now, the bedroom white with a Chinese screen, burgundy
drapes, bed comforter in burgundy with tan, pillows to match. What is your opinion ?

Cheers..Joe

Hard to say without pictures. You also have to decide if you want the walls to be a background for the colorful rugs and furniture (in which case, beige is best), or if you want them to complement/contrast with them. If the latter, use a color wheel to guide you.

Joe,

You are the one who has to look at it.
As you wish.

An off white is neutral too.
