Any ideas please, i am totally frustrated and confused!?

Question

There are two things i need good ideas with. I have been thinking of painting just the one wall in my living room. it is a blank canvas at the moment with nuteral colour on the walls. my sofa is burgundy, and i have a large abstract picture with burgundy and reds in it. problem is, i have just had two rooms knocked into one, so i have two chimney b*****s on the same wall. one has a fire surround with a gas fire and the other one has been converted from a real coal fire, and then plastered into a square which is quitw low to the floor. what colour can i put onto this one wall? and do i paint straight across or just paint the 2 chimney breast? The old coal fire hole has been made into a feature fireplace(or hole in the wall) with pebbles and a tall vase, but i was thinking of putting logs in there for a change or something just for show that is different. any ideas please? would be very much appreciated. thank you in advance.

Answer 1

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think "cut the mustard" (# 6384) would coordinate beautifully with the burgundy. From your description, I would paint the whole wall.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

Answer 2

go with black

Answer 3

If the room is small it is best to go with light color's to make the room look bigger, if it is a girl's room go with light pastel pink's and yellow's if it is a boy's room go with light blue's and green's if it is for the rest of the inside of the house dinning room, kitchen bathroom's, livingroom ect... use a off shade white if you have hardwood floor's go with a light sand and do not put stain it will darken the wood use a clear coat resin to help maintain the wood's natural beauty.
