Look at your existing furniture and choose a painting colour scheme in a contrasting colour that create new look and feel, without having to re-furnish your whole home. If the furniture in your home is mainly earthy tones, using a beige or light brown colour on walls and a deep brown on skirting boards and door frames will create a gorgeous monochrome colour scheme.
