Other colours that work with red are turquoise, apricot, peach, any blues, yellow, even some pinks and greens. (Look to gardens for inspiration, or Old Masters paintings). I'd find patterns with combinations of those, or Vys colours, in a rug, and chairs or cushions.

Can anyone tell me what the actual difference is between a "living" room and a "family" room? Also is a "lounge" room just another name for either one of the above? Thanks

Hi Dana, I have some clients who have just finished their kitchen and family room using a new generation engineered cork floorboard. It looks great, and is soft underfoot. There are more photos of this project on my Houzz profile. Give me a ring if you need more information as I have their sample book and I would be happy to show you next time I am near your place. (Any excuse to see one of my designs coming together!). Alistair http://www.premiumfloors.com.au/cork/readycork-traditional/

Hi Andrew, I think you are asking what type of timber you can use to match your floors. You may like to consider either Karri, ( or Spotted Gum, Nyatoh or Tasmanian Blackwood) as these are readily available hardwood timbers in this varigated tone and grain pattern you have. It is also worth noting that Timbers that start out with red in them also actually fade over time to turn this nutty colour. Once you decide on a spiecies, your Cabinet Maker may also be able to hand pick colours to get the closest match. Hope this helps; regards Malcolm.
