Purple and green to cape cod/beachy style?

i can't get new furniture, so i have to work with what i have. army green chair and a half and ottoman, dark purple sofa, and purple side chair. my tv armoire and console table is dark, almost a mohagany and i plan on painting the walls a taupey color. drapes are a goldish-tan chenille fabric.





any ideas of how to use these pieces to create a cape cod/hamptons look? i'm not sure i can afford slipcovers, but i do want to purchase a new rug.Purple and green to cape cod/beachy style?
I would paint the walls a creamy ivory. It sounds like the rest of your things are dark colors, and I would want to off-set this with a lighter color. Some taupes tend to look ';muddy,'; and I don't think this is what you want.





For a cottage-y look, you might try a natural sisal area rug. Add some throw pillows for the sofa. Since your pieces are solids, you can go for a print or stripe, picking up the green and purple shades. You could throw in a few solids in a hue close to your drapes, or use this in your prints/abstract/stripes for the pillows.





I always think of the Cape Cod look as light colors - blues, whites, creams, yellows, etc. So you may want to work with what you've got and try to create a beachy, casual look. Stack some good-looking books on your coffee table, and top them with a nice big shell. Candles in holders or wall sconces will add ambience and a nice glow to your room.





It's fine to work with what you have. Few of us can afford to do otherwise. But you can make your room attractive with well-chosen accessories.Purple and green to cape cod/beachy style?
My best suggestion is to go to your library %26amp; check out a book or 2 on interior decorating . My favorite book for this is called '; Colors for your every mood '; by Leatrice Eiseman (ISBN : 1-892123-38-X ) she helps you understand the colors %26amp; how they affect you %26amp; some on placement. You can also get great books from Home Depot on decorating (ie ';Trade Secrets';)) to purchase or do as I do - look thru it get the ideas %26amp; put book back on shelf.


The colors you have suggest that you can decorate in ';complementary colors'; those are colors on opposite sides of the color wheel. You might consider painting the walls cream or a white with hints of green .
