Need HELP with coffee table and end table colors?
We have darker gray walls, charcoal cabinets and built-ins, brown hardwood, and white leather couches and chairs.
Need help with what color to buy for coffee table and end tables, also are unsure about drapery color.
We also have a white/light grey marble kitchen table with black leather dining chairs.
Please help
Would a light beech or bamboo color work for coffee and end tables?
Your color pallet is neutral. Because your walls sound like they are on the darker side, may I suggest that you use chrome tables with either tile or glass as the top surface? Adding furniture in black or brown sounds boring to me as there will not be much contrast against the walls or the floors. Think about that.
You may want to add pattern, color and texture in the way of a rug along with your draperies. I would shop for draperies or a small area rug to ground the coffee table seating area. Once you select the soft furnishings (rug, if wanted and the draperies), you will have a pallet to work with so you can incorporate your accessory colors with the soft furnishing colors and design.
So, maybe walk through a fabric store’s Home Decorating department to see the current selections of fabrics to see what is in fashion today or go to a department store and check out ready made draperies that may appeal to you. Shopping on line for draperies is always risky because you really cannot feel the texture or get the true color or draping features through a computer monitor.
I am a seamstress and I never purchase anything fabric related on line anymore because I am always disappointed.
So, go shopping. Take your credit card and buy several sets of different style/color curtains. Take them home and use a spring tension rod to hold them up for a day or two. Keep what you like and then return the rest. If you do go with chrome tables, use brush nickle curtain hardware to make it all cohesive.
Also, you may want to get some color inspiration by shopping for decorative pillows. Often a simple object such as a pillow can have lovely colors you can use throughout the space. So, a shopping trip is in order. I usually buy lots of pillows, take them home, keep a couple and return the rest. It is really an easy way to shop and see for yourself what looks good in your home. You should try it.
TO YOUR EDIT: yes, a light beech wood would work because it will be a contrast to the darker gray walls.
