Interior décor allows a homeowner to express themselves through color and design. Everyone has a unique outlook when it comes to interior color, especially when pairing paint colors with furniture. Whether you have purchased furniture and are having trouble settling on a wall color, or have already painted and need to find furniture to match, use this as a guide to pairing interior color with the right furniture.
Room Size: Just exactly how big is the room you are attempting to coordinate? If the room you are painting is on the larger side, utilize darker colors like plum, chocolate, or navy. If the room is smaller, paint with lighter colors like ivory and peach. Avoid using deeper colors in small spaces, as these can make the room appear even smaller than it is.
Existing (or Future) Furniture: Do you have furniture, or do you plan on purchasing new furniture once your walls are painted? In any case, understand that brighter colored furniture works best with lighter and neutral colored walls, whereas neutral colored furniture will work in brightly colored rooms or against vivid accent walls.

Accent Walls: If you are worried about incorporating a bright color on your walls, paint a majority of the room in a neutral color and paint one wall in a bright accenting color. This method is also best if you are planning on using your existing furniture. If the furniture is a neutral shade, paint an accent wall with a bright color and align the furniture against the accent wall. Conversely, if your furniture is a vivid color, paint an accent wall in a neutral color and align the furniture accordingly.
Other Considerations: Before diving into this project, there are a few other items you should consider. What is the lighting like in the room you are going to paint? The lighting in a room can help determine if a dark or light color would look best on your walls. Are you going to be changing the layout of the furniture throughout your redesign? Knowing this information will help you decide what color to choose, and which wall should be the accent wall. It is also important to consider the accessories in your room and how they will play into the redesign of your room.
