Question.

I just moved into an apartment.  The walls are now white (boring) and the carpet is medium gray color. My furniture is black leather. What color should I paint my walls? I like dark green, red, or earthly tones, I should say. However, I do not think that matches very well – what do you think? And what else would you suggest?

Answer.

If you are only working around the gray carpet and black sofas, your options are endless. You might start with an inspiration piece – for example, a painting, favorite picture, or fabric. I would suggest painting a small area with the paint of your choice before painting the entire wall. Most of the paint retailers have virtual paint programs on their website to help (www.sherwin-williams.com is one).
