I have beige colored sofas and I need to paint my house. Can anyone suggest the best colors to go with them? Also what color curtains will go with them? My living room size is 290 square feet.

Thanks,
Sharath from India

I live in a mission style home. The living room and dining rooms are next to each other. Each room has dark brown beams and the hardwood floors matches the beams. What colors should I paint these rooms? The chairs in the love seats in the living room and chairs in the dining room are off white. The dining room table is art deco and a dark wood. What color should I paint the wall?

You can use any color you like, even neutrals, so long as you go either a shade lighter or darker than your couch color. Then use an area rug, pillows, accessories and/or a throw over the back of the couch to layer in accent color. Or go bold with color on the walls. Try to think of the feel you hope to achieve in the room and theme it to a setting. For instance, if you want a relaxing, soothing beach feeling, think sand, rocks, shells, water, sky, trees, palms, fruity drinks and little umbrellas and all the colors associated. Then look at a color wheel and decide what type of scheme you want to go with. See this website - it explains it a lot better than I can!! (You may have to copy and paste the link)

Boy are you lucky! You can choose any color to use with those sofas.

I'd probably use a light heather (greyed) green for the walls. But you will need to pick a color from your carpet or window treatments. Choose your fav and go with it.

Blue and tan is VERY popular in the interior design world right now. You can choose a light shade of blue and use bright blue or teal accents.

One of my favorite combos is brown and red. My daughter had a dress in these colors when she was a little girl and I was taken with it. Feel up to red walls?

In my clothing, I often wear lavender or fushia with beige. Various purples and beiges go well together. It seems the purplish shades add a little feminity to beige... Be sure to add bright accents in the purple family.

Have fun and enjoy!
