Question
I have rustic dark teak dining table & carved teak chairs with tufted silk cushions. Cushion colors are solid muted jewel colors. 2 purple/2 sagey green & 2 merlot.A sisal rug under table with sage green border. In living room there is a carved indonesian teak buffet table that has muted green, purple & red accents & a giant armoire dark teak with some carving on door. Sofa is neutral cream soft "burlap" texture. Solid Colored throw pillows of rusty orange/armygreen/muted red. Basically I feel like there is a lot of color & texture in furnishings. I need wall colors (& ceiling--only 8 ft) to tie everything together & emphasize the world furnishings. sort of morocco meets thailand & india. Ideas? I love greens/purples.
Answer
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. 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: http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/ I think "gale force" (# 7605) might be a good choice. You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website: http://www.roomvues.com/ You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
