What color paint would look best with dark brown furniture in a home office?
November 19, 2009
We recently bought a home with "unique" taste. I am looking to renovate a bedroom that will become our home office. It used to be an 8 year old's bedroom with aqua blue walls and a dolphin border.
I am looking for a traditional/contemporary look- crown molding, big dark brown leather chair with ottoman, bookcase, and dark colored desk. There will be a lot of dark wood and dark leather in the room and I would like to pull up the carpet and lay very dark, thick wood flooring. Other than a tasteful colorful rug, what recommendations would you make for wall color, trim/crown molding finish and accent pieces?

I think that you should paint the room like a light brown or tan because this color goes really well with dark brown colors.
If you’re going for dark furniture, etc, go for light walls. Brown goes with so much – cream, beige, duck-egg blue. Perhaps when you have things in situ you could try some colour testers on the walls and see what you like?
If you really want a rich elegant look then I would paint the room or at least 1-2 walls a rich burgundy /maroon and the others a brown or tan that doesn’t clash with the color of the furniture’s wood.
Ooohhh very nice..love this idea..
anyway..I like a deep tuscan yellow something like a nicotine yellow (brownish, goldish kind of colour). I would accent with off white ceiling, trim, doors, recessed lighting, one great black iron ceiling fixture, one great tiffany desk lamp with deep red accents.
