Blue

I am redecorating my bedroom, but I already have a mauve (real light burgundy) carpet, my bedroom was done in various colors of purple. Now I want to change the decor and bedding. What other colors go with this carpet color besides neutrals?

Answer
Hiâ¥

I love matching colors and putting things together and I'd love to help.

First of all, mauve is a beautiful color. It's true that purple goes best with mauve, but there are other colors that match just as well.

I know you don't want neutral colors, but white and black go really with this color. White makes the color seem lighter and gives a carefree and happy-go-lucky look to the room, while black seems more mature and sophisticated. Both of them rock my socks!

Green and mauve: number one combination. At least, for me.

Go to this website:

I don't know what shade of mauve you have, but I'm thinking number 4160 Grass Green Dark is just a rich, beautiful color that will go really well with mauve.

A bright, lime green would also be nice, but you could also use lots of different shades of green and red to give some variety to the room.

If you go with the green, use some white to compliment the colors. White trimming on the wall, white bedsheet, white frames and artwork. In the end, you'll have a really nice, well color schemed bedroom.

If you don't want to go with green, I still have other combinations for you, so don't worry!

Mauve will look nice with a bit of orange, perhaps in this shade:

Look at the bottle of bright orange.

Wow. It just looks so bright and wonderful that it would really lift the spirits of anyone who walks into the room.

Compliment the orange and mauve room with light shades of grey/gray (however you spell it). Orange, mauve, gray.

Sigh. Wonderful :)

Pink and mauve: also really cute. Though some shades will just make you feel like throwing up, others really work.

Scroll down on this website until you get to the pink and mauve color swatches.

When I saw them, I was like WOW! Forbidden colors really DO work when someone puts their mind to it.

My fave ones are: Quiet and Comfort and Plum Splat.

Plan your room along these lines if you want a sort of girly look.

If you're going for a bright look, yellow. I'd say yellow would be the second best choice.

(After green, of course. But I think I'm a bit biased because green is my fave color :P)

Yellow, mauve and a bit of flowery, primrose pink.

Use a lot of bright yellow, but if you want to tone it down a bit, use a pale, bananaish color.

Use pink here and there to add some more color to the room.

I'm all out of color schemes here, but I hope I helped. If you need more help, just email me at: aquastar_noor@hotmail.com

Good luck!

All those lurking interior designers. Any ideas on how to do a City styled room?

Anastacia

I want to do a room design in sort of a city scape. But I don't know where to start. All I have right now is a massive grey room. Does anyone have ideas on how to do a city-esque room? Or can you provide links? I've been searching around, and I haven't found anything good, except for a red phone booth idea for the door.

Thanks for the help!
I'm looking for either New York or London. A very grungy city design to be more specific.
