O and I need an asscent color too.... but i dont know what would look good.... do u think turquiose would look okay... if not what are ur suggestions?If i paint my walls a dark purple... what color should i paint the trim and ceiling?
i would say use white on the trim and ceiling. it will keep you room looking bigger. your accent color should be a teal. that would look really pretty. use teal as a bed spread and things like thatIf i paint my walls a dark purple... what color should i paint the trim and ceiling?
Pale lavender
White. Lavender might look ok.
A thin accent line of turquoise across the wall might work. But I don't think I'd paint the trim or ceiling turquoise.
depenging on what design and colors the rest of the stuff youll put in the room is you should go with. i think white would look the best with dark purple but yeah turquise will look good also. also lavender
maybe a white or lighter purple but not blue
deep blue? a lighter shade of purple? gold?
I would stick with white or maybe a creamy off-white because it would look really fresh next to the dark purple. And then you won't have two colors competing.
Well, painting your ceiling a dark purple also, will make the space look bigger. For the accent color, I would go with a lighter purple or a pink color....turquoise might look okay...a blue would work too. Add in a couple of mirrors to make the space appear even larger.
Lavender, lilac, or light pink. It will look feminine and pretty!
Go to sherwinwilliams.com and use their color paint room thingamajig. just click and drag your colors to the wall. ceiling and trim and see what you like, I think a loud crappy pea green trim looks cool, try it and play around and have fun. be sure to save you colors and look at it in a day or two to see if it is really what you want.
Use a ligher purple/lavender or bright pink
light purple... pale yellow, aqua... tan, white, black.. that's all I can think of.. but all of those would look nice.
white is traditional for both ceiling and trim but a light purple or lavender would do well with the dark purple. As for the accent color turquoise would really pretty!
maybe black if you like black or alternatively varnish your trim and paint your ceiling white! i dnt kno! try getting some little colour cards from the paint shop and see which one suits! hope i helped!
Well. I don't know but a nice looking tint of pink maybe? Just give it some more color? But it all matters on what you want.
Turquoise would look nice, but try to go for a lighter turquoise. For the ceiling and trim try to use an ivory or beige color. You can even make the ceiling like an ivory color and the trim light turquoise the same as the accent wall. If you put too many dark colors the room will look cave-like and small so try to contrast between the dark and lighter shades.
Definitely go with either white trim or slightly off white and as for an accent u could use a lighter shade of purple. I don't think the turquiose would go.

I have to paint a wavy line 5ft thick on a wall any suggestions on how to be consistent on the wavy line?
Mark two lines equidistant down your wall, with their distance apart equal to the depth of your waves. Get a 5+ foot length of board or molding that will not excessively bow, and mark the center of your board. Drill two holes and insert pencils in each end, 5 feet apart. Standing in the center and holding the board with both hands outstretched as far as you comfortably can, ';draw'; the board down, making your wavy lines, making sure the center of your board uniformly passes over (but not past) your wall line as you make the waves. They will be consistent in width and form.
Easy, and the quickest, and the most accurate way of doing it.I have to paint a wavy line 5ft thick on a wall any suggestions on how to be consistent on the wavy line?
Use a level ,72 '; one, or a shorter one and a yard stick. Then measure the same distance between lines.I have to paint a wavy line 5ft thick on a wall any suggestions on how to be consistent on the wavy line?
Mount a skateboard truck at the center of a five foot long piece of 1X4 close to one edge with the axel parallel to the length of the stick. On each end and on the opposite edge mount some sort of markers. Perhaps you could get lumber crayons (keels) from a local building supply. With the truck at the leading edge and the stick held verticaly, draw the markers gently along guiding them either by the lower OR the upper edge of the proposed wave being careful to maintain the stick in a verticle position and watching the markers for wear and contact with the surface..
Cut a 5' piece of wood and attach a piece of chalk on each end. Paint will cover the chalk with no adhesion problems.
You need a straight line 1st. Then cut out a large circle from a large cardboard refrigerator box. By centering the circle on the line you will get a consistent wavy line. Mark the center of the circle on the edges so you can get it right every time. Another way to do it is with a projector if you have access to one.
Have fun with your project!
With a pencil draw a single line in the patten you want, roughly the center of what will be your wavy line. Use a yard stick to measure 2 1/2 feet from each side of the line every few inches, marking with a small dash. Do this on the upper and lower side. After you complete the stencil, free hand the wave with your pencil, following your dashes. You will have your wavy line :D I hope this helps!

Painting a Room - Ceilings? Trim? Walls? What order?
Okay, I've got the room completely primed and ready for real paint, but I'm not sure what the easiest and most importantly best results will be as far as the order of which to paint first; the ceilings will be white, the trim white and the walls yellow; do I start with the trim, then the ceilings then the walls? or ceilings walls trim??? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Painting a Room - Ceilings? Trim? Walls? What order?
Do the ceilings first. The reason for this is because they're up there where they won't get messed up by the other paint. If some of the ceiling paint splatters on the side wall, it's no big deal because you're going to paint over later. If you do the side walls first, splatters from the ceiling will mess up your work.
Next do the side walls. The trim is always done last. It takes a little extra care. Use a good cutting-in brush. Cutting-in means carefully painting one thing that meats another of a different color, or texture.Painting a Room - Ceilings? Trim? Walls? What order?
Ceilings first because if you dont then the paint from the ceiling may get onto the newly painted walls.
So
1)Ceilings
2)Walls
3)Trim
When you do your trim just buy somepainters tape to put around them so that the paint wont get on any other surfaces.
Happy painting!
Oh..Oh...I know this one. Just had to repaint my whole house and I find that top to bottom is the way to go. I paint ceiling first, cause trust me it's the hardest. You have to have good shoulder strength to push that roller over your head. Then do the walls. Save the trim for last, that way if you have any mistakes or drips from ceilings or walls you just paint right over them. Good Luck. Oh, yea...buy some kind of pain reliever before you tackle that ceiling...ouch.
i painted my house (well my parents' house), and what i did was do the walls first....so paint the walls yellow, then do the white ceiling and the white trim. i found that to be easiest.
ceiling, walls, trim
paint your ceiling first any accidents on the walls can easily be covered up . paint your walls next then go back for the trim. i used tape to tape off around the trip so i didnt get any on the walls or my ceiling.
dont just use any masking tape either they make a special blue tape for it any hardware store carries it even walmart has it .it should be in the painting section of the store
cieling first, that way any drips or runs will be covered by the wall paint, which comes next. paint the trim last.

How can I paint bedroom walls to fade from blue to green vertically?
I'm looking for a natural gradation, not rag rolled or textured.How can I paint bedroom walls to fade from blue to green vertically?
Hey There!
I was just browsing around on Yahoo Answers and came across this question of yours.
Rent or buy a spraygun (such as Wagner).
Start with the lighter color and apply a little further than the final distance.
Take the next color and spray lightly at the desired height. By ';feathering'; the colors they will slowly graduate into each other. Sort of like air brushing.
Start your second color with very light spray and then heavier as you go towards the next color. Remember, lighter colors first and then move to darker colors.
Since you're doing some decorating, I wanted to mention that I鈥檓 an IKEA Regional Manager and was informed of a private website at my last regional managers meeting that ended up to be a promotion we鈥檙e doing.
This website is giving away several hundred $1,000 IKEA Giftcards for just putting in your zipcode. It鈥檚 a marketing campaign they are doing to see what areas of the country people are interested in IKEA!
You can鈥檛 go wrong鈥?Just put in your zipcode and get a $1,000 IKEA Giftcard.

Heck, you could even get the FREE Giftcard and sell it on ebay and go buy stuff somewhere else with the money you just made!

It will be difficult if not impossible to do it. It would be easier to make the gradual color change spotty with a sponge.
Well, first you should have several blue shades, several green shades and several blue-green shades of paint, all in the range you want.
Start with blue at the top, with your darkest shade. Then paint in your next darkest shade of blue, blending the two together until they look naturally cascading. Once you use all of your blues, continue with your blue-green shades, continuing to blend the colours. Then do the green paints, ending with your darkest shade of green.
You might have to do some work while blending as it can take awhile for it to look natural. Use a small to medium sized paintbrush for blending and a large paintbrush for just painting on the different shades of colour.
This is a really good decoration idea. It will probably look amazing when it's finished! Good luck!

What color should I paint the walls to accent black & white photos?

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I definitely suggest a color so that the b%26amp;w really stand out. Something like ';tawny tan'; is fairly neutral, but it has just enough color to make the b%26amp;w POP.What color should I paint the walls to accent black %26amp; white photos?

What color should one paint the walls of a yellow and green tiled bathroom?
I am remodelling a 1955 house with green and yellow ceramic tile in the bathroom. The sink, tub and toilet are also green like the tile. the tile goes up the wall about 4.5 feet. Above the tile, it is plastered all the way to the ceiling, and it is a HIGH ceiling. I want to paint the plaster- is white the only color that would look okay? Or if off-white, what color of off-white would be okay?What color should one paint the walls of a yellow and green tiled bathroom?

White about a very pale pink. Cream
I'd go with a pale grey/sage
You could use white or you could use a soft, buttery shade of yellow or a pale celery or sage green. Keep the colors soft to avoid making it too garish.
Alaskan Mist or Cool Yellow from the attachment may work.

Off white or cream.
Off white sounds good, but you didn't really give a good description of what theme it has. If it looks a little romantic or Itain than You might want to go with darker colors. But if it's a sunflower theme than bright colors. Go to the Home Depot and compare there color samples and look at interior decorated example rooms in there color sceam books. A little brick red doesn't sound bad or maybe the walls could have a rag off effect. A big vase and tan rag off walls with a brick red trimed dorway and an elegant brick red accented curtain. A giant vase and a couple of palms would look great. Sorry if that's a little more than asked for and an african looking mirror. Ragging off is realy easy and definitly will give the room color.
A yellow hued creamy off-white. That would keep the integrity of the time period and keep it warm and interesting.
a purpley-red color. Like a deep magenta-plum color. Seems scarey at first but it compliments the tile colors and it's a great color for skin.
Try a cream - [ white with yellow in it ] or an ivory [ white with beige in it ].
Or, you could do a paler shade of the yellow [ banana, pear ]or green [ honeydew or celery ].
White is a safe choice. Off-white might be OK, but you really need to be much more specific. You might want to hire an artist or color consultant.
The safe answers here w/o seeing the tone of the colors would be a white (or any cream color) or a different tone (lighter or darker) of either yellow or green. The white would contrast more with the tile work and will brighten the room. It's hard to decipher what would be the highlight of the room w/o know the light content. Using a yellow or green would create a monotone effect, it would be calmer, less contrast between the colors of the room. The tile would pop the color of the tile the is of the opposing color of the wall. You can always try to match the colors using paints swatches and inquire at your local paint shop or hardware store for advice. Good luck.
