New house

We just bought a house and have to do the whole paint and carpet thing. We went with a "portabello" beigeish carpet. Our furniture is two toned hazelnut with some dark brown on the arms and lower areas of the peice. What color would be good for the livingroom walls? Also, we have a pink dual vanity in the main bathroom... any suggestions to calm it down? Thanks!

Generally, interior decorators start planning the colors in a living room by developing a color scheme. There are several different types of color schemes based on how colors appear in a color wheel. Choosing living room colors based on one of these types of color schemes will help you choose colors that look good together rather than colors that clash.

Monochromatic color schemes are based on one color and use only lighter and darker variations of that base color. While monochrome color schemes may sound boring, they tend to be very harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

Contrast color schemes use two colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel. A contrast color scheme always provides both a warm and a cool color. Your choice of which is dominant will determine whether your room is "warm" or "cool."

Triadic color schemes use three colors that are equally distant from each other on the color wheel. Triadic schemes tend to be vibrant and high energy--imagine red, yellow and blue as the main colors in your room to get an idea of just how vibrant the scheme can be.

Soft-contrast color schemes use a base color and two contrast colors that are equally distant from the base color on the color wheel. They tend to be more relaxing than high-contrast color schemes.

Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Using analogous colors makes it easy to balance tones and colors and creates a harmonious palette.
