Answer 1

If you're going to get the pillows that are on the couch, you should definitely paint the room a color that's in the pillows.  I'm not sure but I think I saw a light yellow on the pillow.  Light yellow is a great wall color [it's the color of my walls right now].  If you don't want yellow just try another color from the pillow.  Lighter is better!  The darker it is, the darker your room will be.

Answer 2

when re-decorating home, bedroom or any other room, always try to choose colors according to feng shui. in this case you will activate powers of 5 elements (water, earth, metal, wood and fire) and support all your lucky "areas" - this will attract love, romance, wealth, money, prosperity, luck etc etc

Answer 5

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 dark gray like "night owl" (# 7060) might look terrific.

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 6

pistachio green!

Answer 7

i love your sofa very much so I chose this colour to go with your sofa and the black furniture , you could add lamps that are brushed chrome to complete the look

Answer 8

I think a light, soft dove gray would be pretty.  You don't want it too dark, since the couch and furniture are dark.   White crown molding would be beautiful too
