The Perfect Paint

Paint Idea

Mahadir  from Sarawak asks...

Hi, My living room is painted white and my furniture is black. The problem is that I want to create a new look by doing something with the walls. The space is room is only 350 × 500 sq ft so the only design that I can configure is having a sofa at the front wall, another at the left wall and the chair in front of both leaned a bit to the left. I thought of doing one wall striped colors but the chair is striped black and silver and I think it will make the room look like a zebra.

Please advise,
Thanks,
A. Mahadir

The black and white theme is classic, and your options are endless for adding wall colour. I suggest you choose an accent colour – use it with cushions and accessories – then repeat this colour as paint on one focal wall you wish to accent.
