So I've been trying to frantically pick paint colours for our apartment because they are coming to carpet the place next weekend and we want to paint before that happens. I first picked a dark teal colour because I thought blues would work well with the brown carpet but it felt too safe, so now I'm back to my original colour choice: orange! I was too scared to do it, but now that I can see what it would look like in this photo I like it. It's a small wall, so I don't think it will be too scary.
I still like brown and think it will go with the orange.
I have a Florence, Italy photo I took on canvas which is a panoramic to put over the fireplace that has bright orange, greens and browns in it that I think will tie it all together.
Now it's just a matter of finding the right shade of orange! Any suggestions out there? Do you know of an orange that you've seen in person that looks like what I'm looking for??
I have a huge list of things to buy from Ikea but we'll have to start with only a few things, can't do it all at once! Once we have our new carpet we will buy a new bed for Aubrey, a couch and a dresser for our room. We will be without a few things, but I think we can manage for a little while. We are going to use our patio table and chairs inside as our dining set for the meantime!
PS. Any suggestions on what to do with the 2 sets of corner windows - window coverings etc?
Especially in the dining room where a curtain would be in the middle of the wall behind a hutch??
