I have an idea.
I want to buy this Ikea bookshelf, turn it on its side and use it as a TV stand.
BUT I want to sand it and paint it an awesome color to make it pop and make it into a focal point in the living room.
I need some color inspiration. Megos couch is neutral tan/beige and my arm chair is too. So, what color would be awesome and easy to accentuate with other colors in the curtains, rug, pillows, etc?
Basically, decorate my apartment for me. kthanksloveyouhoneybooboo

I say either a teal or aqua OR mustard yellow… depends on what you want the room to be.

I did this! They had a version that was a little different from the same line then I put two of up the long ways (as pictured) and use as bookshelves on the sides!

Teal, turquoise, a deeper minty green, or purple? You can really get some purples that pop and they are great accents.

I have this too in the brown/black! Fantastic purchase! I didn’t paint mine, but I think it would look great with a warm blue color, maybe with purple-ish undertones. Good luck!

I have that exact piece as my TV stand! Twinsies! I would say something bold like lime green which can still be subtle with other colors!

i would do glossy white or black, but paint the insides of the cubes whatever color goes with what you already own. maybe like robin egg blue?

RED. I love red for pieces that you want to POP. It def does the trick. I forget what your curtains look like… sorrrrrrr. Bright blue is also a great option… like Bright Teal-ish. U SO CRAAFFFFTY!

I have this in black-brown and use it for my tv stand/as a room divider between the sleeping and living areas of my bedroom. Best purchase ever. In my living room, I have something painted cheery turquoise with black & tan furniture and red accents.

I’m a huge fan of mint right now, and mint always looks good with darker blues but also with bolder accent colors like orange!

do you have your eye on any fun pillows or throws already? or a piece of art? sometimes it’s easiest to pick a favorite accessory and let that guide the color!

We have two of these in our apt, in black. One that stands vertically like the photo and one on horizontally. we love them and they are very versatile! As far as colors to paint…maybe a deep red?
