When choosing paint, always pick the bottom color you love the most on the fan deck, then go up from there to the lightest hue. Remember the space...if there isn't much light, don't saturate the walls with color. For my space, there is already white wainscotting half way up the walls, but I get very little or limited natural light. So I want a warm color, but not a dark color. I want the room to feel open and airy.
With a large repeat like this one, it's hard to find a purpose for the fabric. Pillows just won't do. So, it will either be large panels or upholstery on my vintage rattan sofa. Mmmm...what to do? At $7.95 a yard and 58" wide, you can't beat the price. I'm thinking...panels. That will be about 3 and half yards of fabric for my windows. I want enough room for bottom and top when sewn to still reach the ground without actually touching the gound.
Great advice, and totally cute fabric! Your description of how to choose a paint color is easy to understand, even for a paint novice (or really know-nothing) like myself. I look forward to future updates on the office, and more pictures of course!
ReplyDeleteHey! I work in a log cabin. Can't do much with paint, but the floor needs a rug (to, as the Dude said, bring the whole room together). Any rug advice (the floor is varnished OSB plywood) on style & size?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
