When you have a small area with dark furniture, will bright colored walls work? What kind of flooring works best in small areas when furniture is dark? I'm not a carpet fan. Don't know how to incorporate an area when you love every color and almost all design. I'm a hippie at heart, love my rustic Italian roots, playful, energetic yet mellow. If anyone could help me out with a design that's right for me I'd greatly appreciate it.
