play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something 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 a purple like "beguiling mauve" (# 6269) would look terrific. And you wouldn't necessarily have to change your carpet. Some greens & purples look great together.

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.

I'm actually painting my room Dark purple too! we have the paint but i just have to clean my room. ( like that will ever happen) but i'm doing a dark gray trim cuz my dad wouldn't let me do black like i wanted too. ( and i wanted to paint my ceiling but idk if that will happen)

Purple with a white trim actually sounds good but you should just come up with another color that will match with purple and white to create a color sceem.

maybe gray? or you could jst do the carpet white like the trim?

idk it's your room, do what you will love. =)

Answer 4

Go for an Aubergine/Eggplant color and it will look FABULOUS with the crisp white trim

Don't be afraid to use dark colors, they can be warm and holmy in a way that 80's beige simply couldn't, regardless of the square footage.

A pale green would work nicely with with any of the 4 colors you are considering. I would however think about brightening the area rug to a rich emerald green or maybe a sharp and tangy raspberry color rug!

have fun!

You could alternatively paint the room a bright turquoise or aquamarine...i would only recomment teal if you have a lot of warm wood tones, it wouldn't necissarily work if you had any metal/iron/aluminumn/steel/black in the room...teal can often times look very masculine especially if it's in a muted tone...

A midnight blue would look just as nice as the Aubergine, the only caviot is that you would need to brighten the room with strongly colored accesories such as bright red blown glass; or something that mimics the look. Otherwise it'll look too nautical, but hey, if that's your thing go for it!

Lavander in my opinion ought to be left to the nursery of laundery room, it never does a room justice, NEVER...periwinkle however that could work :)

Answer 5

Green can go with certain purples but i think maybe a white carpet or laminate floors.

Answer 6

A really dark purple will make the room dark...how dark or light do you want to go? Do a light lavender or purple with white orsilver accents. Even a light green accent will work. Go to the paint store and look at swatches. As for the floor, beige carpet would do.

Answer 7

well, my room has red walls, (its kinda dark red) and when a light hit it, it looks kinda orange-ish

and i have off white carpet.  i think it looks good =D

but out of those choices, i would pick the darkish purple with the white trim and get white or off white carpet.

good luck =D

Answer 8

If you are going to paint your walls dark purple then I would suggest a white rug to go in your room.  You will need white curtains also to lighten up your room.  If you choose to go with a lighter purple or lighter shade of blue on your walls, a rug of the same color but darker shade will look very nice.  My recommendation to you would be, choose a lighter color for your walls and use the darker/brighter colors for your comforter, curtains, and accessories etc.  Good luck and happy summer!

Answer 9

i think teal and white are the best. but do stripes of colors or something purple+another. you can have more then one color you know.

Answer 10

dark purple would be good but i wouldnt do white trim...maybe black trim or a lighter purple trim...as for the carpet you could get a big rug to cover it up if it dosent look good with the room color...wish i could re do my room! i still have flowereee wallpaper from the family before [puke green wall on the other side! yuck!]
