Question: My dining room is a bamboo green, and the walls going into the living room are?

A light cream beige with one accent wall that is dark brown. I am wanting to buy a dark blue area rug with cream colored designs. Wondering if dark blue and the dining room green will clash. thanks thanks, I hope that I have done this right 022055630_1_244blue rug.jpg18.1 KB the color is baby fern by benjamin moore. http:/ / www.flickr.com/ photos/ 47416112@N04/ 4345775662/

I think you have enough colours and should choose a rug blending what you are already using..green/ cream/ brown if you are trying to blend the two rooms together for continuity.If you want to add blues, then do so in accent pieces.

It depends on the shade of blue. Can you upload a picture(s) to flickr.com and then post a link to the the picture page? It's too hard to say until I see the color/ tone of green. Depending on the shades of the colors, yes they could clash very much OR they could complement each other.

I think the dark blue could add a nice compliment. Just pick the right blue. Sounds like you have good color sense already. If the rug also had just a bit of your green in it, it would definitely work. Have fun.

An old adage used to go - Blue and Green should never be seen - but if you like it don't worry about the rest of us, it is your choice.

Sounds like you have a decision to make. In my opinion I would go with a cream area rug with just a tab of the blue design in it. Make the cream to go with your walls. And then if you want to go with a blue, then do it in decor and accents. Keep the rooms separate and pick colors that coordinate with each room. It is totally up to you, but since I do decor and have looked at the colors you have picked, truthfully I think you will be disappointed. Keep it light and cheery. You will be glad you did.

Until I read Harry Potter I didn't know that blue and green could go together. Brown and blue compliment each other nicely I use that color scheme also so if you like it go for it.
