A. Well I am sixteen and I am re doing my room too. Well we just moved to a new house and I will be decorating it. So I googled Modern Bedrooms and a lot of the pictures online show dark color rooms like gray walls or dark blue walls ect. i wanted something more warm. but not too summery. so i found a perfect picture of a modern room light brown walls with dark brown furniture it all doesnt have to be brown. i like white and blue so i might add that to just mix it up. google modern bedrooms and see if you like my room idea. it all depends on your style my sister is going to leave her room mostlly white. white walls white bed covers etc. weird to me but whatever your style is i guess.
Master bedroom furniture is traditional dark brown (new), what color can I paint walls?
Q. Bedroom furniture consits of King size bed, two night stands and nine draw dresser. Considering to have 50" TV over dresser, sitting area and include small kitchenette.
A. Hi!
Brown is a neutral color, so basically, you can paint any color under the rainbow with it... it all depends on what you like. There are a few things to remember though, and I have a few suggestions... Hope this helps:
To have complete color harmony in any room, you need to have 3 colors: 1 dominant color (usually the walls), 1 medium color (usually the trim, molding, ceiling, furniture, etc.) and 1 accent color (usually decorative accents such as cushions, vases, throws, etc.). You can use the same color as your funiture as you do on an accent wall or all the walls... it depends on lots of things like your lighting, but we'll get to that later.
In decorating, black and white are not considered colors. White is the absence of all color. That's why you can match it with any color under the rainbow. Black is the mixture of all colors. That's why it too, can be mixed with any color under the rainbow. It's not necessary to have any white in a room, but it is very important that you have at least one black item: a vase, a picture frame, a throw rug, a cushion, a curtain rod, a lamp, etc.... you get the idea). The black will ground ALL of your colors together. So don't forget to add something black in your room.
What color of brown is your furniture: Black-brown (as in very dark espresso coffee), dark chocolate brown, etc. Since you didn't say, here are some color schemes that work with different types of brown furniture. The way to use them is for the 1st color = dominant 2nd color = medium and 3rd color = accent. Of course, you can use them in any other way you like, thought the ones listed here are best together in just this way. (after, you'll get some links to some nice color inspiration).

This part would have been easier if you would have given us the style of furniture you have, but the pics should help for color inspiration... I hope you enjoy this, because I certainly enjoyed doing the research for this. I LOVE doing this !!!! :)

So... hope that was fun...
The best and most trusted way to find the color for any room, is to take an accessory or decorative item that will be going into that room: the duvet cover, the curtains, a painting, a rug, blinds, shutters, upholstered furniture, a lamp... you get the idea). Choose the item with passion. Make it something that you ABSOLUTELY LOVE, perhaps it was handed down by your great-grandmother or a cherished item you worked hard for. Or make it something that just SCREAMED out your name when you were shopping, so you knew you had to have it! Choose your color pattern from that item. And take it from there.
Keep in mind too, that color is an amazing thing! There's psychology behind color - it can make you have wonderful, relaxing dreams... or it can keep you from falling asleep, especially if you're already a wound-up 6 year old little boy! It can make you feel warm and comfortable, or hot and stifled. It can make you feel nice, fresh and cool - or it can make you feel like parts of you are going to freeze off. Color can be your friend or your enemy. And really, the earth can "shed some light" on us to help decide every color scheme. Here's how:
What direction does your room face - North, South, East or West? It makes a difference. If you've got the sun pounding down on your bedroom window, you'll want to stay away from warm colors, such as reds, yellows, oranges, etc. They'll make you feel too hot. Opt for cooler colors, such as blues, turquoise, cool creams... think mediterranean beach style here. In a room facing North, that doesn't get much light, you'll opt more for warmer colors and brighter colors: yellow, bright pinks, golden hues. Here's a most interesting link about how color affects us psychologicallly:

That's all I guess... Hope I helped you choose your color ;-)
You're always welcome to email and I'd enjoy knowing what color scheme you chose...!

How can I decorate a white apartment?
Q. I have a white wall and ceiling apartment but I have a hard time finding things to decorate it with. My couch is like a gray color and I have some pillows that are brown with blue and green decorations. What can I put up on those white walls to bring out some color? Also, my room is also white and my bed setting is wood. What kind of comforter should I get that would bring some color into the room?
A. For your bedroom I'd try to get a color that would really pop against the white walls and wood in your furniture. Depending on your style you could do primary colors like red or blue, which would go great for accent pieces (i.e. pillows, lamps, curtains) to make your room vibrant. Or you could do a monogramatic look w/one specific color and do different shades/tints of it, like cobalt blue, gray blue, baby blue, etc. It could create some depth in your room.
For your living room I'd try to do the same thing. Being as you're in an apartment you may have restrictions on painting, so I'd try to incorporate color through other ways like rugs, artwork, etc. I got some of my best ideas from this website, http://blog.forrent.com/category/apartment-decorating-tips
Hope this helps!
