I would like to do a bold feature wall in my 4x5mtr west facing family room but as the only wall without windows and doors is on the north wall I feel it may enclose the room to much (4x4). I am happy with the brown based yellow on the other walls as it blends well with the pine floor and timber archs. Maybe I could paint the ceiling and above the picture railing white to reflect light. suggestions welcome

I've finished a course in interior design and now I have registed a business name to do some work. I've put an ad in the local directoy and I'm now scared. I know all the basics to interior design but when I think about someone hiring me to decorate I get butterflies in my tummy. I don't want to look like an idiot or that I don't Know what I'm talking about. I want to know if anyone can give me advice on how to deal with my first client and what should I take with me when I turn up? They didn't teach me the business side of interior design only the talking to clients.

 i have forest green sofa i need help to pick a color for the walls it very hard to fine a good color

Hi there I have bought a Bright and bold sunflower yellow leather sofa, chair and oversized ottoman for my new living room. I also have blonde hardwood floors and wanted to buy an area rug for the room. Was just curious what color schemes I could go with the give me a contemporary look. I need a paint color for the wall and also a color scheme for my accessories.

I'm going for a clean look. I've recently purchased an ivory color couch, and accent chair with multiple strips through out (green, orange, cream, taupe)and a coffee table with 4 square pieces of smoked black glass on top. All three pieces have black legs. My carpet is olive green (looks nice with the accent chair). I now have black art, but no longer want it on my walls (looking for some abstracts with colors in my living room). However, what colors should the frames of these prints be? Black, light tan, cream? Also, I have two huge floor vases cream with a stone base (one taller than the other) which I'm using as my focal point, but thier in the corner just sitting there bland. How can I bring these out? I've just painted my walls a light beige. Help!!!fast

Hi Mardie
I would probably look at using a color similar, or a tone darker than the walls for the picture frames, and the vases, I would do a flower arrangement using the colors in your accent chair, you could make them a bit brighter if youwant.
Have fun.

I'm trying to completely finish at least 1 room in our home! I have a love for sunflowers, and I'm trying to come up with a color or colors (thinking of colorwashing the walls) that would compliment my sunflower decorations in the room. I was thinking of colorwashing in yellow, but not sure if that's too much yellow. Should I go with greens or beiges. I'm having a terrible time choosing colors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michelle, Did you ever make a decision with your color scheme regarding your yellow couch?

Hello world! I'm from Latvia, I now have a computer and Internet! It's so interesting here! But on some forums I see strange posts, they offer to buy some pills or something and they look very stupid. It is robots posting? I thought moderators should delete such posts. Maybe somebody will explain me what's going on? But at all it is very interesting to speak to all you people!
Kisses! :)

t depends on what's the basic color u r going to deal with , is any one ask himself the relation between light & pigment color systems or basics ? cause these two systems integrates with each other to produce a different color concepts also schemes . red TOSHIBA PA3451U-1BRS PABAS067,Battery For PA3383 TOSHIBA Satellite PA3383U-1BRS 12cells,TOSHIBA SATELLITE M65 BATTERY PA3431U-BRS PABAS068 is a basic light color , yellow is a basic pigment color - so its a complicated matter but we must understand color to be easy to deal with . otherwise using color at any space depends on many factors each space has its unique individuality in every part of , also - any opinion dealing with choosing colors its an individual one . it might be due to experience whict is common . but not due to update understanding of color acting , sience , influences , systems , combinations ......etc.
