I have contemporary sofas (brown with beige on the upper part) and a big brown rug. I am going to paint my living room but I want to keep a contemporary style. What colors should I use?
How about a teal color? I have a medium shade teal in my living room w/ beige couches and dark brown leather ottoman, dark end tables and large dark entertainment center. I made my curtains out of beige table cloths, added a multi colored strip 4 ft off the floor using table runner(cut in half for 2 panels), then finished them off with a wide strip of teal. I hung them with drapery clip rings I found at home depot. I used a throw rug w/beige background and celadon green, light teal, dark teal , brown and burgundy interlaced circles. I can send picture later if you like.

I just bought a red couch and have a brown suede chair. I also just bought two olive green pillows for the couch. What would be a good color to paint my living room with my kitchen adjoining?

Sage would look great with your living room colors. Taupe in your adjoining kitchen would blend well. (05/19/2008)
Another option would be a mustardy yellow color, which I think would look good with the reds and greens in the living room and also look good in the kitchen. (05/20/2008)

Light cream would go great with red, brown and green! (05/21/2008)

Saddle-leather tan. Avoid the crayola look by having one of each of too many colors. The general principle is to have a main color, a second color which is a shade of the main color, such as brown and tan, and then an accent color totally different in small amounts, such as aqua. (05/22/2008)
