Living room - orange ceiling quandry...

I wanted a tile ceiling that I couldn't afford, so I used wallpaper and painted it with metallic paint.

The color is supposed to be copper but it really just looks orange.

That was 4 years ago and I'm ready for a change. I won't change the ceiling since it took 80 hours to complete but I'm stuck on what color to put on the walls.

There is dark brown trim and my furniture has shades of greens, tans, burgundy and oranges!!!!!

Help...

Orange inspiration...
by: Charlotte

Hi

Firstly, well done on getting so creative with your decorating...

If you don't want to change the ceiling color or the furniture you do have a slightly limited palette...

The obvious color choice would be stick with shades and tones within the palette of greens, tans, oranges and bugundy that you already have - this is a wide-ranging and harmonious scheme that encompasses many color options.

You could stretch this a bit more with expanding your color choices to red-violets, or blue-greens...

...or go for a complete contrast to all the orangey tones with a blue - this will give a very dynamic scheme.

Or you could stick to neutrals for walls, and let the ceiling and furniture do the talking - whites, creams, beiges or greys could all work well.

To keep your room feeling light and bright, lighter tones of any color will help - while dark tones and red-orange tones help to create a cozy feel.

Hope this helps you make your decorating choices.

Good luck with your room makeover

Best wishes

Charlotte
