Reader’s question

"In my small living room and kitchen I have mocha sofa, TV stand and coffee table in light oak. There is white tile flooring and the walls have a light beige shade. What colors to choose for curtains, textiles and decorative elements?"

Our recommendations
We propose three alternatives based on curtains and drapes color selection.

You can choose sheer curtains with drapes in light purple hue to harmonize with the oak furniture in the room.

You can mix and match purple accessories, with white or ecru fabrics (throws and cushions) and light mocha carpets.
If you prefer a more cool color combination you can choose lime green sheer curtains with drapes, combine them with white or ecru fabrics, and add pops of salmon pink in the room.

If you want a more dynamic color scheme, e.g. shades in warm red, pick a perfect neutral beige/ecru color for curtains and drapes and highlight your room with throws, cushions and decor items in bright warm colors.
