What wall color would go best with brass furniture in a contemporary living room?

Contemporary living rooms are fresh and soothing all at once.  Coupled with brass fittings, a contemporary room can feel almost nautical. 

When choosing paint colors, stick to neutrals.  A general taupe/cream on the walls will be outstanding when paired with a feature wall in deep blue.  Blue is a great color to enhance large windows and a dark wood floor.  If your couches and chairs are white, deep blue will be a startling and beautiful contrast.

As you've mentioned that your floors are dark wood, try adding an Allure Blue area rug at the base of your couch.  This beautiful and quirky rug will really try your eye to the feature wall as well as to the floor. With just the right amount of pizazz, a contemporary area rug really makes a style statement.

Avoid over-adorning your feature wall.  Let the color speak for itself by adding a few simple framed photos of the ocean or the beach.

Your curtains should be thin and gauzy white, and accessories for your couch could include blue accented throw pillows and a warm blue cashmere throw.

Imagine sitting in this beautiful room while the breezes blow through the windows. Enjoy!
