Color Schemes

The walls in our great room are a dark taupe and I am trying to incorporate black leather furniture into the room.

What accents can we use so it will not be so drab?

Thanks!

Hi Debra

If you are trying to lighten the look of the room, I would suggest you use cream as your accent colour.

If you are trying to brighten rather than lighten then red would be a good option.

A more contemporary look that you may like to consider that would both brighten and lighten would be a shade of aqua or light blue which would look great with black and taupe.

Kind regards,

Andrea
