Trying to pick a paint color for a livingroom that doesnt get much natural light. Furniture is chocolate brown and floors are natural hard wood color. Hoping to do a grey but open to other options. Bought this area rug but haven't received it yet.. Bottom picture is the room however not the rug or furniture (real estate photo)

HELP to pick colour for the Guest bedroom
Comments (7)I'd try to improve the lighting perhaps before you decide on a wall colour. Choose overhead shades and table lamps and ask the supplier if they can recommend what wattage bulbs to use in them. Then ask to try these out at home and see whether there's an improvement. When you get the lighting right for you, the choice of wall colour can start as you will then be able to see tester patches in the lighting you have decided on. P.S. We opted for a "cream box" approach in our bedroom with 3 walls in one shade and the feature wall in a deeper cream with a hessian style textured wallpaper. We have "warmed" the space with wine coloured heavy textured curtains and wine coloured sheets. It's always cheaper to change the bedding/accessories than it is to re-paint or re-paper!...See MoreNeed help picking wall colours to go with brick fireplace

Comments (9)Yes I agree with Lauz, the leather sofa is too harsh and leather doesn't promote good energy generally. Lauz maybe right that a very light beige would be too light. First have no hurry. Sofa picking is like finding a house, it takes time and the day you see the right one you will know. Your head spins right now so have a breath and take a weekend breather. Browse together - agree on what you dislike first so that gets rid of quite a lot. My friend Debbie has a room just like yours. Her sofa is a mixture of stripy green, golds and burgundy. It looks really good but I don't have a picture to show you. She also had copper colour blind with chocolate carpet it looks fab. A Velvet wine colour could fit in. I have a light grey velvet sofa and yes I had jeans marks on it but they do products that takes that off ( I took insurance for a year for scratches etc an they sent me the product which works wonders). I have a cat and I almost went for leather but I thought I only live the once and I will teach the cat. He tried it once and I clapped my hands really loud and it was the last time he did it. I don't regret it. Also I cover the bottom of my sofa with a beautiful throw to sit on and then I tidy it up and keep it on the arm. It is just a habit to take....See MoreNeed help picking a colour scheme
