Q. I want to redo my room, right now i have lime green walls and wood furniture. i was planning on keeping one wall green and paint the rest blue ( the color is called "south seas"), spray painting my wood furniture white, and decorating with colors like purple, pink other shades of blue and a little bit of black, mabye a little yellow. i have no idea if this will turn out good or not. if you think this will look terrible say so or if you have other ideas, say what ever you want.
A. For the color in your room think three ... and 'white' is NOT a color. I'd go with either purple, pink, or yellow, but not a combination. You can use some black, but I'd go with a 'medium to dark wood brown' for that 'South Seas Island' look. Yes, you can use another color, but not as heavily ... think of the blue and green as your 'background' with the brown and other color as the 'trees and flowers' and then have just tiny bits of a last color for 'accent' and your room will look amazing. My husband is a fine artist, and we do this 'color matching' all the time to show his art pieces off ... and that is difficult, since his best pieces are basically done in pencil. I mean have you any idea how difficult it is to 'decorate' when the 'artwork' is basically grey and white? Have fun, find a good 'theme' and remember that 'less is more' in everything. Put all but a few bits of 'clutter' into boxes and change the clutter every month or two to keep your room looking fresh and alive and you'll have a room you truly want to 'come home to' ...
What color should I paint my room? (and if anyone has decorating tips)?
Q. I'm thinking of repainting my room (which is currently a very light, almost bathroom-y sea-foam green).
My room is very small so I can't paint it anything too dark (but on the flip-side, I don't like bright/light colors like pinks or yellows and whites are too plain).
I like greys and purples but I'm worried that the color will make the room seem too small.
Can anyone offer any advice or potential color ideas?

A. Aww, it's a shame you don't like your current color. If done right, that would be a very pretty color for a bedroom. If you go with dark purple, it is likely it will make the room feel cave-like and smaller. If you're not concerned about that, go for it. But if you are, you could do a light gray on the walls and use the dark purple as accents around the room. That way, you get the two colors you love. You could also stencil some kind of design on a main focal wall in the dark purple.
What color should I design the other room incase my family stays there?
Q. What's are some ideas on designing some empty rooms in the house? What should he make it into since it's?
not occupied?
suppose only one bedroom is being occupied right now which has a zen theme
and one room was made into an exercise room

A. For a guest room:
First, decide what color you would like to paint it (unless you want the color it is). Don't do pink or purple because that is a girl's color, and as you are probably expecting not just girls in that room, make sure it's a color that any one of your guests would like. Obviously don't paint it black, or even gray. Guys might like one of those colors, but girls won't! Also, try not to paint it too bright. Although some guests might like bright colors, some might find it weird. So try to stay away from bright yellow, orange, or red. That pretty much brings it down to the basic guest room colors: light blue, tan, maybe light green, white, any thing along that line would do. And decorating it is important. You want the room to look elegant, yet homey at the same time. Don't add too much furniture, but enough for the guest/guests. Please remember that you want make sure that YOU are happy with the room. Make sure that it will please most people, but make sure that you like the room. If you don't and pay all of this money for furniture, you go through painting it and all of that, and you end up NOT liking it... well, that would be like a huge waste. So, make sure you are happy with it (although don't base everything just on your taste) and that others are happy with it, and that you have fun!!!
For other room ideas:
A sewing room (if you sew), An attic type room where you just store all of your stuff, A craft area (if you craft), A play room for kids (if you have kids, but it sounds like you don't), Just another lounge type area with maybe a futon for guests, a nice tv and bookcase, And pretty much whatever fits your need.
Have fun and don't stress about it!!!
