Decorating

You would want a light brown or beige it all depends on what room it is and what colors you like. I have burgundy ones and they look awesome. If you wore dark brown pants, what color top/shirt would you wear?... Hope this helps....

I would do white for a very clean, fresh look. I would add in some black accents or accessories to balance it out. It will look great!

Make sure the fixtures are not too dated, or it will all look a little tired.

Think chic, classic London or NYC vintage apartment.

You divide it up into regular shapes: rectangles, triangles, semicircles. Then use the formulae for these shapes and add the results together.

If you cannot do that - because the shape is just too irregular, draw a scaled version of the shape on a board of uniform thickness. Cut the shape out and find its mass (or weight). Also, draw a square foot on the board to the same scale and get its mass. The square footage of the room is the ratio of the masses (or weights).

You could also draw a scaled version of the room on a grid representing a unit area. Count the number of squares that are at least half inside the sketched room. Ignore all squares that are less than half inside. The number of squares inside multiplied by the square footage of each square will give the approximate area of the room. The finer the grid, the more accurate the result (but it will also be harder work).

Lavender curtains would go best.

Black is a good colour to compliment gold. Alternatively, for something a bit different, try blue.

Any and all shades of brown will work well, I would suggest a dark brown (chocolate).

Greens also look great with gold.

Many Eastern decorating schemes use pinks and oranges with gold to wonderful effect.

Square footage requires two measures of a rectangular room. There is only one measure given.

Several factors influence cabinetry color such as the floor color, window and door trim and "adjacency" - which means that the selections made for the kitchen need to be compatible with and provide a pleasing "flow" to adjacent rooms. White cabinetry always looks fresh and clean. Having the upper cabinets white and painting the base cabinets black is also a very good look. With a few exceptions, painting the cabinets any other colors runs the risk of looking cheap or "home made". If the cabinets can be stained, Using a deep cherry stain will look very rich with the yellow. Lighter stains like honey oak will do nothing to compliment the tile.

In decorating, lines are used in many ways. Lines guide the eye to focal points. Lines are also used to create designs within a space. Another way lines are used is to give the appearance of a higher ceiling or longer room depending on whether the lines are vertical or horizontal.

If all of your trim, including the shutters are green, you can:

1) pick a different shade of the green, to keep the colour scheme.

2) use a different shade of the yellow, also to keep the colour scheme going.

3) pick a white, which goes with very nearly everything.

4) paint it blue, it will look nice and still stand out as different

5) if the house is paid for, you could go with the old tradition of painting the door red, in celebration.

The height artwork is placed on the wall is determined more by the use of the room and the people who frequent it than by the size of the wall.

In most rooms the artwork should be hung at approximately eye level (for were you are most likely to be viewing it - standing, sitting, reclining).

If for example you are hanging artwork in an entrance area or hallway, the paintings should be higher (because you will be viewing them standing) than if you are hanging them in a dinning area or living room (where you spend most of your time seated).

In stairways the artwork should be hung in a progressively elevated manner (like the stairs). This gives the viewer more comfort and ease of viewing.

If you are doing a large display of many different sized paintings it is best to pick one or two "anchor" pieces and hang them at the optimum height, then make a pleasing grouping with the other pieces at varying heights to keep the viewer's eye moving through out the display.

There are some people who like to hang one or a small grouping of paintings over the sofa in the living room, and this works well as long as they are not hung so high as to make your neck ache to look at them, nor so low, they are easily bumped by the heads or arms of people sitting on the sofa.

Single pieces hung over mantles should have ample room beneath them so that items set on the mantle do not obstruct the subject of the painting.

In bedrooms, many people hang artwork over the head of their beds, the height of the headboard will determine the placement of the artwork... however if the headboard is especially tal you may want to choose a longish horizontal piece of a collection on smaller pieces that can be arranged in a horizontal manner.

One of my favourite placement for a painting was in my grandmother's bedroom, she had a small petite-point piece in an ornate frame hung at shoulder level (when seated) next to her favourite reading chair. I have often borrowed that placement when trying to create a "personal space".

Assuming the room is 9 ft by 13 ft (the question does not say so), the area would be 9*13 = 117 square feet

I think using the new neutrals such as taupe, grey, mid-tones in tans, toned down mustard shades...all of these provide a sophisticated and rich backdrop for the furnishings. Save the bold or bright colors for accents.

Orange, pink, and purple is a rather unusual combination of colors. Whether or not they go together really depends on the shade.

Purple and pink are seen together quite often, and provided the shade of purple is more of a true purple, and the pink is a lighter pink, they will look fine together. Pink and orange will clash sometimes, but a light colored pink will look good with a neon orange color. Orange and purple are not typically seen together, but there is nothing wrong with mixing the colors together.

So, provided you use a true shade of purple, a light shade of pink, and a neon orange, those colors will go good with each other.

Black, red, blue, green, yellow...there's thousands of colours that could get you to a matching point with pink & grey.

It can. Burt be careful of the "bluish" part of the grey. It might make the room look "bedroomy." Better to have a grey that goes more to taupe - which is an excellent color to compliment soft yellow.

If the curtains and the drape are in the same colours, or contains the same patterns - yes, they match.

The oldest and easiest way I know of is to light the candle and let the wax drip into the bottom of the holder and then set the candle in a straight position into the warm wax. You can also use floral clay or any similar material in place of the wax.

Depends on what kind of black it is. Is it glossy or matte, is it very dark or light black...

Also depends on how big the room is in comparison to the size of the furniture.

Black is a classically neutral colour. It looks great with any colour you can think of.

If you are looking for inspiration for the colour to paint your room, look to your wardrobe. The colours you like and wear are colours that make you feel good and express your personality. What better colours for your personal environment than the ones you already gravitate to.

Colour is powerful. Colour can lift our mood so selecting the right shade of a colour for a room is vital. Pastel pink is trending this year. If you are creating a soft look dried flowers are so beautiful in any room. For a bed room you could use a duck egg blue chair against a light pink wall. If you want to make bold features you could do it by adding bold tones in bright colour textiles, cushions or rugs. Over sized flower arrangements can also add decadence next to strong bold curtains etc and can dress up a room.

A large feather is best, but fine longer haired brushes also work. To make good lines it is best to slowly roll your veining tool between your fingers as you jerk and wiggle your arm across the surface. I often look away for a couple inches so that the lines don't look too controlled.
