My carpet I would love to replace with a brick red, has burgundy and a touch of rust to it brings out the yellow tones of our logs in the living room. Do you think this would work?

I think pure white or creams would make the room look elegant. Try using golds as an accent color.

In regards to the toddlers room - go wild i say... paint it vibrant bright colours - one colour for each wall he/she will just love it!!!

Hello-

My girlfriend bought a house in Seattle. The seller obviously had no sense of style....Blue House, blue drapes, blue countertops, light blue wall paint, (brand new) mid-tone blue carpets. BLUE OVERLOAD! I am a graphic designer and real estate investor...this is definitely not my color scheme. What color wall color/trim should I use to get rid of this blue hidious overload?

Thank you.

I have dark green carpet and want to know what color to paint the wall to not make the room look so horrible. Our furniture is a dark beige color with dark end tables.

i have burgundy carpet all throughout my house. I want to paint the interior walls one color. what's a good general color? beige?

Editor's Note: I'd recommend an ivory or cream color.

I personally love to see a khaki colored wall with that kink of a color I think that it makes the flooring pop. If you want more boldness on your wall such as I would paint a bold strip of burgundy or a dark blue from the ceiling to the floor or I also agree with the purple it would look great as a stipe maybe. Then if you wanted even more drama what about outlining your bold stripe with a silver or gold thin strip? WHat ever you do do what you love you are the one who has to look at it all the time. Good luck and happy painting

Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have a dark hunter green carpets in my livingroom & bedroom, what colors are good for the walls. I was thinking more of a wine/burgundy. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

A cousin of mine has burgundy carpet all through her house & in her daughters room, she went with pretty colors of pinks, lavenders & sage. The walls are light pink & a sage green chair rail stripe along the wall. Then she added small accents of burgundy in some silk flowers in cute colorful vases..She also took a plain burgundy pillow & attached pink flowers all over it!! Then added pretty lavender floral pillows in girly designs..She then did a cute floor rug to match the bedding & brighten up the carpet..The curtains are sheers pinks & lavenders..the valance is a solid pink w/silk flowers attached! She gets compliments from all who see the room..it's very pretty!!!

For I boy I would go w/a khaki colored wall & accent w/navy blue & deep brick reds, would actually look really good w/some of the sporty motif!! Many have burgundy as the main color!!

I think medium or pale pink walls for girls or light grey for boys. Then use different shades of pink for pillows, spreads, etc. for girls or black, burgundy and grey for boys.

I would definitely keep it light and bright. Start with white walls. Add a navy or beige 12" strip about chair rail height, all around the room. Then stencil cars, trucks, road signs, etc., around this strip (for boys), or flowers, little animals, etc. (for girls). Be creative! You can hang pictures of family members above the stip, or start a theme of some kind. Have fun!

Dark green and Cream Colors. I have a room like that. I placed a dark green on the bottom, a chair rail that is painted Burgundy and cream on top. I also painted one of the walls all dark green (no chair rail). Maybe you could do that with the wall that the bed goes on. It looks soooooooooo nice.

Be bold! I think dark purple and deep golds and oranges work great with burgundy. You could go for a sort of Indian or Morrocan motif. Nowadays almost anything goes with wall colors. Choose some great paintings or wall hangings that integrate all the colors you use. Have fun!

A friend has burgundy carpet in her son's room, and they painted the walls a beige color with white trim. It looked really good.
