What do I do with light gray carpet?
#1

I have light gray carpeting throughout my brand new home and I can't seem to make a decision on which color sofa, loveseat and recliner to buy. I want to decorate with an african theme. I have great African inspired wrought iron candle holders, giraffe table pieces and some african artwork wall hangings, an oak entertainment center as well as end tables. Does anyone have any ideas about the choice of colors should go with?

off the top of my head, i'm not sure what "African colors" are, but i'd take a closer look at the artwork/wallhangings you have. look closely at them & see what colors have been used, and pull your furniture colors from that. or look for an area rug with more colors in it that you like, and pull from that. it might be that black will be the way to go, so that your accessories will be more of the focus.
