Suggestions??
A light gray would look great with your rug. It will also be a good basis for giving your room a more "grown-up" look.
Reply:hi ella! i think you should paint the room a yellow. There are many types and you can go from very light (almost white) to blow your head away yellow/orange. i think purple and yellow go very well. If i was you i would pick something in the middle of the 2. I dont like blow your head away, but a color that's almost white is very boaring. Good luck!!!! tt me if u need help!!!!!

Well, the best color I think is a light green, a bluish green to pick up the rug.


These colors are close on the color wheel, and if you look up the color wheel, you'll see it well-recommended.


Now, the traditional color to go with purple is yellow, but I find it has a very sickeneing effect in the long run. If you ever read Sylvia Plath's "The Yellow Wallpaper"... well, Depression Central.


Now that was fiction, but add my experience: Yellow dining room walls with huge windows and lots of green reflected off the grass outside=


Nauseating!


So, green is my guess.


Further, you want three levels of color in your room.


The lightest for the walls usually works best, the dark color could be your carpet but it seems you carpet will be the medium color value, and the darkest can be your accents (like dark furniture, or comforter and curtains.)


The floor you usually want darker than the walls and even the rest fo the room, so that it feels grounded. Otherwise, the room can seem to float, and some people are uncomfortable.


So, I'm with you on that.
Reply:a very pale green or yellow would work with your rug and keep it light and fresh. if you paint the walls green, for instance, use small amounts of yellow along with lilac as an accent...or vice-a-versa.


hope this helps :)
Reply:White. Add color in your pictures and other decor. Too much purple will get boring after a while.
Reply:If you like brown and want tsomething bold , trendy and chic ,there are some great browns with purple undertones that woudl look awesome. You just need somehting to tie the two colours togehter like bedding or pillows. Try the brown with lilac and a nice crisp white.
Reply:If you have a very light room, try a darker color. be sure to use a deep tint primer (grey) if you do. paint store have free home dec advisers.
