Decorating

Eggplant, can be tricky. Not knowing the colour of your walls, window treatments, floor treatments or much else I am left with picking the neutrals.

Grey on the side of silver lends eggplant an elegant look.

Black is a safe as houses, and every room should have a bit of black in it.

I've seen eggplant and gold, and although it is not to my personal taste, it does have appeal.

I have also encountered it with a deep rich midnight blue, and the combination was outstanding.

Then there are some risk taker ideas.

Bright berry red can bring out the playful side.

Apple green is quite trendy now, and if used judiciously will be wonderful.

Turquoise has a lot of appeal and is easy to work with.

If all you are looking for is an accent, my suggestion is be brave, it's a small investment and can have a big impact.

Get a crow bar and you can easily lift it out. Then you can do whatever you want in the manhole. Also manhole covers scrap at a junk yard for about 10 bucks.

Mustard yellow and most intense pink look good together.

A very soft pastel pink would however be over powered by a mustard yellow.

If you are using the combination in clothing pieces, be sure to put the most flattering colour (to your skin tones) nearer your face.

If you are using this colour combination in decorating I would suggest bringing in a fair amount of a neutral colour to help balance out the look.

Palapa Kits can provide a Hawaiian feel to your house if that's what you're looking for. It gives your home that tropical ambience that is evident in Hawaiian households.

I would suggest you work with one of the many neutrals available. White, black, grey (or a combination of the colours) are all viable options and leave you able to use any other colour if and when you repaint. If your room has wood in it, you could also use any of the beige, brown and "stone" colours.

There are currently glass tiles available from many companies that feature "metallic" looks, check into these. You can find one with a pewter look that is in combination with translucent and opaque tiles in greys. The finished look will be very sharp with the red, and still leave you options for the future.

The "square footage" is usually called the "area".

A room that measures 3-ft long and 3-ft wide has

-- 9 square feet on the floor

-- 9 more square feet on the ceiling

-- more square feet on the walls, but in order to count those,

you have to know the height of the ceiling above the floor.

You can use 1) natural thatch roof materials such as water reeds and 2) synthetic thatch roof materials. I recommend the latter if you are planning to put up a long lasting, durable thatch roof.

Red is a very lucky color.

There are a lot of ways to use decorative molding to create interesting architectural features - like adding layered molding to create an interesting crown molding look. You can cut and make picture frames, trim the edges of tables, add thinner trim to cabinet doors to give them a custom look. You can create large rectangle shapes on a wall, paint them the same color as the wall to add texture and interest, or fill in the shapes with wallpaper. Tack trim wood to walls in abstract geometric patterns, or create a chevron pattern on a focal wall. Build a simple box the shape, size and height of a coffee or end table, then get an assortment of different trim styles and cover the sides of the box by stacking the pieces. Stain it all one color or stain every different molding style a different shade. Put a piece of glass on the top and you will have created a cool conversational piece.

Now you've got me thinking that these would be some fun projects. Thanks!

Yes, it will stick to most wall coverings.

Yes. It's cost effective and if you finish it correctly it looks as good as any wall inside your house!

Grey and magenta are a great combination on their own.

If you are accessorizing a room, I suggest additional tones of grey (some darker, some lighter) with accents of white or black.

If you are accessorizing an outfit, work with silver metallic jewelry and black shoes, stockings (if you are wearing a skirt/dress) belt and bag.

the answer is black

An accent wall should be a colour that already appears in your room, is dynamic enough to make a statement and one that you personally can live with.

Look at any large upholstered furniture, patterned drapes or accent pieces you are particularily fond of.

Which colour draws your eye, makes you feel good and has enough impact to do what is needed.

Once you have a colour you think might be right, go to you local paint retailer and get either a couple of the super large colour swatches (several brands now carry these) or a sample bottle (these usually cover a square foot or two), take them home and put them up on the wall.

Give yourself a day or so to be sure.

If you are satisfied, your next step is to paint.

If you are not, try the same colour but either darker or lighter. If that doesn't work, try another colour.

Remember, decorating is something you do to make your environment yours. Don't be talked into a look, style or colour you do not like.

After all you home should reflect you, not some designer that has never met you or been to your house.

Trust your instincts.

Education furniture includes a variety of items designed to facilitate learning environments, such as desks, chairs, tables, and storage units. It often features ergonomic designs to support comfort and productivity during long study hours. Additionally, it may include specialized pieces like collaborative workstations, interactive whiteboards, and flexible seating options to promote engagement and adaptability in classrooms. Overall, the furniture is tailored to meet the needs of students and educators in various educational settings.

Your options here are limited only by your imagination and the function of the room.

For a monochromatic look match the cream of the other three walls or the biscuit to make the window unobtrusive.

To give it drama use a solid statement color taken from some other aspect of the room, deep wine, midnight blue, warm rust are all great if there is any of the color elsewhere in the room.

To give the room a casual homey look use plaids, stripes or chevrons. Make sure at least one of the wall colors and one other color drawn from the room are in the pattern.

If the room is formal (dining room, formal living room etc.) try long drapes (floor to ceiling) in a cream damask or biscuit, jacquard vertical stripe.

Light blue, light pink, brown.

An eye ring or eye bolt is a metal bolt, where the unthreaded end is bent into a circle or ring. Normally used to secure rope or chain to a hard anchor.

An example would be the eye rings that secure a swing sets chains to the frame of the swingset. At the other end of the chains is the seat of the swing. The eye bolts attach the chain to the metal frame.

For a sophisticated look try a medium to dark tone of grey.

Brown and/or beige work well, and lend a decidedly masculine look to a room. Greens will also tend to a more masculine look, but are harder to live with.

A feminine feel can be achieved by using a light pinkish tone on the walls with lots of cream to keep it from getting to "little girlie."
