Questions & Answers
InThe Awaken Your Interior Designer! Collection, you’ll find extended information for these and hundreds of your other decorating questions. The answers to the questions have been condensed, but EVERYTHING mentioned here is covered in the books.
Question #1: I just bought a house and I'm having trouble with picking a color to paint the kitchen. The countertops are grey with a mauve splash. There are mauve ceramic tiles around the edge and on the back splash. The cabinets are a light to medium brown color. The walls are white now and I hate it.
There is a big open window on the wall that looks into the living room and I don't know what to do with it either. My living room is done in a country look with deer hanging on the wall. I would like to make them blend together but I can't come up with any ideas.
Answer #1: By gaining an understanding of color harmony, you can quickly find the perfect solution to tying your kitchen and living room together. We won’t cover that topic here, but Awaken Your Interior Designer makes it very easy.
The book also offers 135 ready-to-go paint color schemes, several of which include grey and mauve. So I’ll use one of those palettes to quickly answer your question.
One of the American Country palettes includes three paint colors by Glidden: "Frankly Scarlet", "Rosey", and "Butterscotch Tempest". This scheme uses a light and dark shade of mauve combined with deep butterscotch yellow as an accent color. These colors will brighten up your grey countertops.
You might select one shade of the mauve for the kitchen walls, and paint the living room the other shade. For extra impact, paint one living room wall in the "Butterscotch Tempest".
Project Planning Tip #1: Before finalizing your color choices, I recommend that you take the color preference quiz in the Awaken Your Interior DesignereBook. (pages 73 -79). Polish off the look by using, Quick & Stylish Decorative Crafts, to create no-sew throw-pillows and lampshades with fabrics that complement this color scheme. (pages 45-51 and 78-83)
Question #2: We have a big bay window with two side windows. I want to put some kind of window covering to add privacy to our living room but don't want to take away from the window itself, especially the small shelf that comes out from the window.
Answer #2: Your best bet will be to hang sheers or fabric shades to cover the window panes for privacy. And then add a topper that will enhance the line and shape of the bay window. Stay away from curtains or heavy drapes that close in front of the whole window area.
Project Planning Tip #2: In our eBook, Window Treatments Made Simple, we give you many more ideas for highlighting bay windows as well as tips for selecting a window treatment to match your decorating style. (pages 50-69)
Question #3: I live in Manhattan in a studio apartment with no windows. I would like advice as to what I can do with my very small s
