" I have an old wooden rocking chair dark brown and I would like to remodel it to have a modern look.
I would like to place it in the living room by the fireplace. The house has earth tone color scheme. What color matches best? How to paint over the existing varnish? Thank you in advance."
Our recommendation
You can renew the rocking chair and make it look modern by painting a bright, warm color, in combination with the earthy color scheme of the room.
You can use either colored varnish or enamel paint.
Reader’s question
"I've remodeled my basement and created a studio in which I work. I have set a lot of pl lights on the ceiling and painted the walls white. The space became so brightly lit that relaxation is impossible. I have tried to use objects of warm shades of brown in the place, but the situation has not improved enough. Can you suggest any other solution?"
Reader’s question
I have an open concept living room and kitchen with light wood cabinets and some yellow ones. Do stainless steel appliances match the cabinets? I would like wenge furniture in the living room; does furniture match purple and gray colors? Could I choose striped wallpaper on one or more walls? Could you give me some decorating ideas for the chimney breast? Thank you."

"The furniture in my bedroom (wardrobe, bed and bedside tables) are dark wood. In the living and dining room the wooden furniture are dark and the two sofas are red (the tone of watermelon). What colors to pick for the walls of my bedroom and living room?"
Reader's question:
"Can I paint the already painted cabinet doors and how? I want to change their color to look like wenge wood. If I cover those surfaces with paper wallpaper, could I remove the wallpaper later?"
Reader's question:
I renovate my apartment. The kitchen and living room are combined. The flooring is dark brown laminate (it has a rustic appearance). In the living room there is a wall, 6 meters long and I am planning to place a large and high piece of furniture (something like a bookcase) with the TV. The cabinet doors of the kitchen will be white. The apartment is north and there two balcony doors (the openings of the doors are 2 meters and 1 meter). However I am afraid that the natural light will not be sufficient and the room will be dark. Can you give me some advice on the wall colors."
