I have Dark leather couches and a dark wood fireplace (2 story) and looking to repaint the room. Any color suggestions?

    Great room! Could you post a bigger pic of your area rug? Don't want to suggest a color without seeing all the colors of the rug ...

    Here are some pictures, but as of right now, not sure if the rug is staying in the room. Looking into new carpet. Builder install a lower end carpet and it is not holding up well.

    Without knowing anything about your likes/dislikes etc.....
    I'm just going to suggest a beautiful neutral for your space. I think BM's Ashley Grey HC-87 would be stunning! Because of your high ceilings and large windows, I think you can afford a wall colour with a little more depth!
    Have fun!

    Thank you so much for your suggestion! I love neutral colors and will be exploring paints on sample boards. Yes, this room has a lot of natural light in it as well.

    Fyi, waiting on furniture to be delivered to fill in that empty space on the wall. Moving the TV to a Hooker entertainment unit.

    You have such a beautiful home, and I love this room! The windows, the ceiling heights,so 'movie star-esque' The wow fireplace obviously, is the focal point. As much as I dislike leather couches (my cat has a leather sofa) your leather furniture is uber stunning!! Your rug doesn't do the room justice. Keep looking? As far as paint color I would try maybe an olive drab - or maybe a medium taupe-even a burnished gold--but not too dark b/c you have heavy dark furniture. You don't seem like a pink, or lavendar dude type. .

    Thank you so much! I love this room too, trying to pull things together! I do agree the rug has to go! It was from my old house ..and using it ..just to use it .I guess. Any suggestions from paint swatches as a medium taupe??? Thank you for your suggestions and time!

    Lol! Hey Marcie,
    Actually taupe is the "new" way of saying greyge. A cross between grey and beige. The colour I suggested above is an example of a medium value taupe. :)

    I wish it was still called "greyge". Self-explanatory! :)
