| Decorating Dilema OK I am VERY into decorating my house and having lots of color in my house also. And I am trying to figure out how to paint my livingroom. I dont want the whole living room painted. I just want to paint one wall burgundy. But I am not sure which wall to paint. I either want to paint the wall that the ET center is on, or the wall that the couch is on. I am kinda leaning towards the wall that the couch is on because I plan to paint the arch ways (just the inside of them) hunter green. SO I thought that painting the couch wall burgundy would really make the archways stand out..........BUT..............my mom thinks that I should paint the wall the ET center is on burgundy.........URRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG........ So, I am posting pics of walls that I am considering and asking for opinions. This is the ET center wall............ |

| No I plan to do one wall burgundy and leave the rest of them the light sand color that they are now. I feel that if I paint them all burgundy it will make my livingroom too dark and look small. |

| . one of my walls in the living room in burgandy. its acutally on the opposite of my couch. i also have a big wall unit on another wall... when you walk into my house the burgandy wall is on the right hand side.. also when you walk into your living room you want to have a focal point. and work around that. |

| That is why I am kinda leaning towards doing the wall that the couch is on. Im not sure though cause whenever I decide some one gets me thinking another thing. The trim on my front window is the burgundy color that I want to paint one wall. Ill see if I have a pic of it. |

| after looking at your pictures i would suggest painting the wall with the entertainment center burgundy. seeing as that's the smallest wall and it's at the "end" of the room. remember that dark colors make your room look smaller and that's why it's good to balance it out with a lighter color(not white). if your going to paint the door arch hunter green i would paint the reamaining walls a nice medium carmel color , it will balance the green and burgundy nice.

WOW you are right on with my thinking. That was my original idea, but I was going to go with a lighter medium carmel color. I hate white walls and even though they are a really light off white (fawn or sand or whatever they call it now) I still dont like it. | |
