Abby-- I'm super jealous of your studio still but I feel a little better that it's not in NY ;-) Personally, I am 100% in agreement on your last post saying what you are leaning towards. I would go with chocolate brown before black because it will go better with the brick than the black, while still providing plenty of dark contrast. I also think light neutral for the main couch is your best bet. It will keep the room airy, balance out and contrast any dark wood, and match your decor in your next apartment so you don't have to sell it when you move if you don't need to. I think the Expedit bookcase is a great fit as a divider because it looks more like a place for artsy pieces and such more than it does a standard bookcase. And soooo much better than a screen. And I still standby the peacocky-green-blue accent color suggestion. I would maybe reupholster the seat/back of an accent chair in the accent color you choose to add a bit of a color burst to the furniture.

Abby, don't paint the gorgeous exposed brick! =) I struggled aimlessly to find a brick apt without carpets in my price range and am very jealous! Most colors will work in this space (though some better than others). It's style of decor that's harder. Brick (when kept in its natural red-orange) lends itself better to rustic or classical designs, not modern. That said, even modern could be done if done well. Were it my apartment, I would have done it in ivory, amber, eggplant, and apple green (those are my current fave colors). But looking at the picture, lots of ivory with bold accents of peacocky green-blue just jumps out at me! If you go light, I would go ivory rather than white because it will play up the homeyness of the brick rather than make it look like a state institutional building =) Good Questions: What Color Scheme Would Work Best for this Room? |
