How to decorate a lilac room?

Question

im allowed to redo my room, but i cant change the room color, which is lilac. what type of furniture should i use? what colors go best with lilac?(i like darker colors)

Answer 1

Best bet is go to the paint or hardware store and pick out some paint samples you like.  They're free and you don't have to buy the paint.  Put these up by your walls at different times of the day to see how they look with the lilac.  Then go from there.

As for type of furniture, that depends on your taste and budget.

If you're Goth blood red and black accents with lilac are cool.

If you like the ocean or water, adding blues and greens will give the lilac room a beaching feel.

Play with what you like and experiment with free stuff before you spend any money.

Answer 2

Black is always a good color choice, and I'm imagining that blacks, grays and whites would look good with the walls. And on the color wheel, although not a dark color, yellow is opposite lavender, so if you use both, the colors will really pop.

Also, don't get furniture just because you like it. Make sure it fits in your room logically (not literally, but obviously literally, too). You don't want a monstrosity of a dresser or chair that's going to take up your whole room.
