Do solid colors balance out floral designs?

Asked 3 years ago

I’ve been wanting to introduce floral patterns in my living room. There is a light green and pink floral rug that I want to place as the large design element. I want to change the wall color too. I was thinking of using a darker solid color to balance things out. Would that be a great idea?

Solid paint color is a great idea to create balance.  Creamy whites, light neutrals, pale blues or green and light yellow can create a balancing backdrop for your floral design. It can also serve as a highlight for the floral print. Best to keep it simple. Stick to one or two colors that complement one another as well as highlight your floral design. Lighter colors can create the illusion of space as well as lighten a room, but a dark color can set a lovely dramatic mood.
