Colour Me Tolerable
I have no sense at all for colours that go together (as a few of you have kindly reminded me in the past...), so I'm hoping some of the less taste-challenged among you may be able to help me with a colour choice.
We're been redecorating our library room, a small squarish attic room with a dormer window facing NNW. The walls are Pugin Red, the glosswork and ceiling are white. The curtain material is a red, gold and beige vertical stripe thing. The idea was to achieve a costy womb-like atmosphere -- of course, the walls will mostly be covered with books so they're of all sorts of colours.
My question is, what sort of carpet should I go for? My immediate thought of a supporting colour(s) which will help brighten up the room a bit was gold -- but that sounds a bit nightmarish for a carpet. T suggested oatmeal, which I guess is the universal-recipient of carpet colours, but I'd like something more interesting than that if poss.
Any thoughts?
