One Room Decorated 3 Different Ways
Ever wish you could paint your walls three different colors before you make a decision? Well, we did just that in this living room. The three hues we chose were pulled out of a beloved painting.

The same living room painted in Chocolate Brown, Banana Cream, and Tangerine Orange.

In each scheme, the central painting and basic furniture (sofa, table, and chairs) remain. These pieces stay in the same places, but are transformed with slipcovers, pillows, and decorative details. The accessories vary depending on the wall color, but you'll always notice a touch of citrus green in each transformation--it works with all three palettes. Plus, you'll learn some tricks of the trade when working with color from Assistant Projects Editor Mary Leigh Fitts, who created these eye-catching looks.
