I'm at a decorating crossroads. It's time to plan the next layer of decorating in my living room. I have to recover a chair and some ottomans, paint a dresser, move a clock and put up some shelves or something on one wall and think about drapes and maybe make new throw pillows.
Wow that makes it sound like nothing is done in the room, but that isn't the case. The walls are painted: chocolate (a transition wall into the dining room) and deep turquoise (3 walls). The rug is in place, art work is up on two walls (the other is a huge window) and I have my furniture laid out perfectly. One chair is bright olive green and the dining room which is connected is the same bright olive green. I currently have some turquoise, bright olive, fuchsia and orange colored accents in art work and colored picture frames. (I'm definitely not afraid of color!) My dilemma is do I finish decorating with a restrained use of color (light turquoise paint on the dresser and brown and turquoise print fabric for the upholstery) so the room only has a few bright color accents? Or should I run a muck with color and use fuchsia paint and orange, bright olive green, fuchsia, turquoise and brown print upholstery and a zebra print on the ottomans?
The problem is I enjoy both those decorating styles (more tailored and colorful). Sometimes I want one, other days the opposite. I can see it decorated both ways in my head. Today I'm all about the color. Thoughts?
