Advice for salon design

haymorefam...@gmail.com
Hi all!
I am designing a home salon in my basement. We are in a new home, so
we get to start from scratch. We have the walls mudded and taped, and
we have two that are ready to be finished. I chose Posh Red (which is
a deep red– not a violet red) to be the accent color, and I wanted to
place it next to a khaki wall however now that I have the Khaki home it
looks pretty dark i would almost say a light chocolate brown. I am
afraid it will look like a caramel apple in the room. The kicker is
that we are placing corrogated tin (roofing tin) 3 feet up the walls.
It looks awesome against the Red.
The furniture is all Black and silver, with white cabinets. We are
laying pine looking pergo flooring. I need some ideas, as I am so
afraid it will look like a caramel apple. What other colors would look
the best with the red? Should I replace the Khaki walls with like a
butter yellow or something?
Any ideas for any part of the room would be great. I want honest
opinions, so don't be afraid to give me your thoughts.
Thanks, Brandi

My stylist just painted her salon (in her former pole barn) and she went
with a fairly funky style – each wall is a different color as is the trim.
She used brick reds, slightly darker than lime green (apple green?) and
eggplant purple. She said the paint people looked at her like she was nuts
but it really does work for a fun and funky look!
