I recently bought new couches, they are houseplant/palm green, I have no idea what color to paint my walls.?

Question

My furniture is cherrywood with black accents. They couches look great with the furniture but I have no idea what color to paint the walls or what color scheme to decorate with to match with the couches... I wasn't thinking along those lines when I bought them because I just loved the color and didn't think about how difficult it would be a design around them. Please help!!!

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 a very pale yellow like "crisp linen" (# 6378) would look lovely.

Answer 2

I would go with neutrals - cream, tan, beige.

Answer 3

I would do a tan that goes with the green

Answer 4

light colors always make a room lighter, maybe a beige or taupe. I would accent the furniture with art that mirrors the new furniture.

Answer 5

earthy tones are nice, maybe a a light brownish green color
