My fiance and I are moving into a really classy apartment. It's a one bedroom, one bath with beige walls and beige carpet. It also has beige tiles stretching from the kitchen to the dining area. I want to bring some color to it but stay classy and classic (he hates modern design). I need some ideas for color schemes we have no furniture yet so anything goes.
best colors to use with all that beige backdrop are: espresso or coffee bean brown and dark rusty red. Dark brown leather for upholstery and a bronzy colored satin for window treatments. Rust red for accents.
this color scheme is classy, gender neutral, and easy to live with for a long time.
Go to HD, get the color chips from Ralph Lauren: "village" (deep rust);
"galvanized" (espresso brown). hold them up against the beige walls and tiles, and you will see the fantastic contrast. try to get hold of a sample of dark leather and a scrap of bronze metallic satin, you will see how it all works together.
I would warm it up a little just to add some style to the room. Beige goes with a lot of colors so here are my choices. Click link to view.

some models have a house or furniture that are classic or antique that you can see, and you may be able to apply to your home
dark, like a sexy brown?
What decorating scheme should I use?
