what are the main colours in your living/family rooms?

room has white walls, except for one which is dark blue and dark blue carpet.  The furniture is a variety of colors.  I always wanted to be color co-ordinated but never quite made it.

cream. Cream walls, cream woodwork, cream carpet (well it was once upon a time). The curtains in the living room are a deep shade of red velvet and our sofas are green floral otherwise the room would really sink into blandness.

Our whole house almost is done in this bland colour scheme. It was like that when we bought it and we're slowly changing it but for now it's just cream, cream and more cream (and it's not even a nice cream).

We painted the woodwork in the bathroom cream but it's got more yellow in it than in other rooms and so is a lot 'warmer'. Then we added blue walls. At least some rooms have some colour now.

'Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfailing beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.' 1 Peter 3:3-4

my walls are cream color, carpeting is also a dark cream or maybe a very light tan. My couches are cream back ground with mint green leaves and a touch of very light rose berries. My curtains are cream with a green design in them similar to the one you had I believe in the bathroom the design is green in mine but I think it was white in yours.

tea

cream coloured too! I try to add colour with pillows and knick knacks and artificial flowers ... stuff like that. So I'd say it's cream with pink and cranberry and red and green too. I try and stay with those colours anyway.

tan, my carpet seafoam green, furniture medium cherrywood, and sofa burgundy green, tan and cream. In the family room we have wood floors with a reddish/burgundy leather sofa and right now white walls, which I want to paint!
