Oh yes, it does indeed look very pretty when the sofa covers, the cushions and the curtains are all colour coordinated with the walls. But I find it quite expensive too LOL…I mean if each room has its own colour (like in my house) then, imagine how many sets of curtains I have to buy! And of course you must have spare sets too…so all in all, I’ll be spending quite a sum on buying curtains! So I’ve settled for the next best and I have curtains which are neutral in colour to all the rooms…i.e. I’ve selected a colour and pattern which would go will with all the other wall colours.

and why not the original 'red apple'...I think that would be more appropriate for the post wedding romp

Hi sudip!
First of all I would like to say "I really love your avatar picture,its a gold rose"that's my favorite color and thinking to be my motif on my special day my (wedding day) when time comes!lol And a an apple green would do the second best.
You are right it costly when you're thinking about matching all around your home, just blend the colour will be fine find its relaxing view would make the difference.
Thast's a good combination of your curtain colour goes with your wall colour.
Thank you for responding and Happy myLotting!

I usually try to pick the furniture that has color similar to the color of the walls in my room. I can't stand the huge differences between colors, so I try to pick furniture that doesn't differ much from the surroundings. However, it's not always possible, because sometimes I just can't find the right piece of furniture in that color that I need.

I now have a fairly large house where I can afford to throw colours that may not quite blend but because of the size they don't clash with each other. When I had a smaller place there I was quite particular and just about two shades contrasting with each other would be selected. My walls never gave any problem as they would be invariably white. Here too my walls are white.

I can give some suggestions for matching your furniture. Let's say you have a good idea of your main color scheme. You've collected samples of carpet, paint, fabrics etc, Put them all together in the room where you intend using them, on a table, or paste them onto a board. Now stand back and look at them through half shut eyes.
When thinking about the colors for your room, paint them onto pieces of paper or card in the same proportions as you'll see them when the room is finished. For example, if the walls havethe largest surface area, paint a large piece of paper in the color you intend using on the walls. Then estimate how much in proportion the couch and chairs will take. Twenty five per cent? So paint a piece of paper in the couch color roughly one quarter the size of the one used for the wall color. And so on.
Again, place all the bits of paper together, along with samples of fabric, tiles, etc. and look at them in different lighting conditions.
That way, you'll be able to gauge if you have the color balance right for your room. Having done this exercise, you may well decide your wall color is too bright and needs to be toned down. Or the couch color is much too weak for the amount that will be seen, and it nees to be intensified.

I love to decorate & design my home, and I go for old fashioned style, I bought antique-like furniture, figurines, porcelains that suits to my desired motif at home. I used floral as my curtain motif, and wall paints in dark colors...I don't know if I have matched the color of my furniture and curtains to the color of my walls, but I give emphasis to the furniture, their proper placements at home, that will meet my concept of an old-fashioned house. Most of the color of my wood furniture are natural, you can see its natural art on the wood itself, then I used floral to curtains and throw pillows.
I live in a modern world but I'm fascinated to the old fashioned style.

Hi mack!Good to see you again here, you have a love in old fashioned designs and style, an antique furniture is such adorable especially those designs of different places of ages.Well actually its not really essential how did you match your wall to your furniture as they are in proper arrangement. I love wooden furniture too and a cushioned that matches the color of the wood base.
Thank you for sharing and Happy myLotting!

hello cloud. in decorating my home i prefer to have its own accent when it comes to decors. i mean it should not be a mixed western, asian or mid east(mine is mid east, lots of bronze works) so as not to confuse people on what your up to. furnitures not necessarily matching in color but in contrast, yin and yang, like an auto finnished master clock on ivory wall, blood red wooden sofa on light brown marble tile with light gray curtain on the background. and yap, curtains are tailor fitted on the type of the window (fixed or sliding). my wall color is beige, so curtain colors should be a little darker to express itself. taking also into account not to overcrowd with furnitures as it may look like a jungle. simple, elegant, sophisticated or antiques depending on your accent.the color of the house gives the relaxing environment. the lighting gives it the brilliance. care should also be taken in lighting locations, not just anywhere.
happy myLotting!

I love decorating my home. I love matching furnitures to curtains and walls, it looks better than not matching it. I like matching things in our house, my mother likes that too.

For me,it's "yes".
I always match my curtains with my furnitures and my house paint color.
Not actually of the same color,maybe a bit color variation from darker to lighter sort of,or,sometimes,a color combination.
Besides,it is always good to know the right color combination when it comes to curtains,furniture and the house paint.
Well,just my opinion dear
