My new place has a living room with a fireplace and vaulted ceilings. I love color, so I would love to paint the room. What colors would make it airy and spacious? I am thinking of getting a cream-colored leather sectional—not sure if that should influence my wall color.

I love olive green and would like to use it in my bedroom. I would like to know two things: 1. Can I incorporate silky (shiny) material with a plain matte linen? and 2. What colors go well with olive green?

I live in a home that was built in 1945, and the closets are minuscule. Any suggestions for stylish storage solutions? Please don't say baskets as I have a dog (a Jack Russell terrierist) who's a jumper (shelving units, forget about it) and adores chewing things like that. Thanks!

The small bedroom that I will be moving into with my boyfriend has only one window, which happens to be facing a wall. In turn, the bedroom is very dark. What can I do to make the room brighter and what should I do with the window?

A few months ago, I bought this solid light green comforter. Now I am redoing my room and I have no idea where to begin! I want my room to be cool and inspirational, but I can't find any wall colors to match with it. Also, I'm at a loss when it comes to accent colors in the room.

What color should I paint my bedroom, which has birch veneer furniture? I was thinking slate gray. I'm also not sure about the bathroom walls, but the color should go with the bedroom in case the door is open. Ideally, both colors would complement red accents.

I love this chocolate brown wall color, but my corner fireplace mantel is brown wood, and it disappears. I know I could paint the mantel, but I really don't want to paint it white (the color of my moldings). Got any suggestions?

I have a black dining table with red leather accents in a room with green walls. Should I go for black chairs with white seats or black chairs with red seats? I feel if I go for white, they will look like they don't belong to the table. Would red be too colorful?
