help with colour scheme please

[*debbie*]

My house is mostly neutral colours, my living room is west facing, and gets lots of light from about 2pm onwards, i have 2 brown 3 seater sofas, light oak laminate flooring, most of my curtains are cream, as are my walls. But i want to add some colour!! it just looks so boring.
I dont know what colour to pick to go with the creams and browns!
Also my bedroom is going to be decorated next week...and i dont know what coloour scheme to go for...it is also west facing, with a cream carpet and curtains...my wardrobes are going to be pine, we are buying them next week, my headboard and bedside cupboards are pine.
I wanted to go neutral as i thought it looked lovely, and mine does, but i really want to add some colour to the rooms too!
I am no good at this smiledance

what about just painting one wall a bright colour. im no good with what colours though

i think with creams and browns a lovely pale pink or blue looks lovely as an accent colour.......x x x x

I was thinking a pale pink hun - that would go lovely with those colours, or a very delicate yellow colour but it would be have to be a dusky yellow rather than a bright yellow.

Myfront room is the same colours and i have added teal as a colour it looks fab i started adding it using cushions with brown cream and teal and a couple of vases then i painted my porch teal, you can see it from the front room as the door has glass in it. I usually go for pale neutral colours but i love my front room more than ever since adding the teal hope this helps x

A nice deep red looks great with browns and creams

light blue would look lovely with brown and cream, we have it in our front room.

our front room is browns and creams - in fact we have 2 walls in 'Tirimasu' and 2 walls in 'whisky cream' with brown leather sofas and quite dark laminate....and also a film of talc over everything :cheesy:

I was thinking of adding an accent colour for the accessories and i think im gonna go for a dusky pink colour....

I was thinking of deep red or a slight aubergine colour (not that dark) a plummy red I suppose would look nice.

terracotta ?

I love this link........colour and design is my favourite subject apart from my kids.

We have a chocolate and stone coloured lounge and I have just added orange accessories, cushions and a candle, and one of my paintings. It just adds some colour to the room.

I do love the idea of duck egg blue too though, I nearly went that way, but I thought the terracotta/orange colour would be a bit different.

[Olive_Oil]

ooooh yes! i hadnt thought of orange....i think i like that idea!!!
