where can i get Living room theme in chocolate, mocha, cream, colours?

Q. Hi i want to decorate my living room. i have a black leather sofa and pine flooring. i love the chocolate/mocho,cream look, but i havent been able to find any room examples on the net of some design inspiration. I also love dulux new range of rich neutrals (cocoa blush, velvet truffle and maraschino) so if you can find any of these similar colours used, or u have used them in your living room, let me know!!!

A. I used a palette of all brown tones in my living and dining rooms and we really love it. its a very warm and earthy feel. cozy and calming. We have dark hardwwod floors. The walls are painted a soft light brown (not beige). The trim is painted a very dark chocolate color ("traditional" by Ralph Lauren). the trim includes window and door frames, baseboards, picture rail in the dining room, beams in the ceiling, and the framing on the accent wall which is made of leather panels. The stucco fireplace is painted a burnt orange/red which really highlights the copper ceiling. The hearth is made of terra cotta ceramic tile. Window treatments are wooden shutters with dark bamboo insets. Our sofa is light tan with bold deep red cushions. And we have a leather wing chair and ottoman by the fireplace. In the dining room we have a large dark walnut pub table and pub stools upholstered in a tan and red stripe. At first we thought the color scheme might be too monochromatic but as the rooms are small, it really helps give the appearance of unity and space to the area. Plus we incorporated a lot of texture into the rooms: leather, bamboo, ceramic tile, copper, stucco. we used red as the only color in an otherwise all brown room as it ties together all the elements nicely--the leather furniture and panelling, the copper ceiling tiles, the dark walnut of furniture and floors, the terra cotta tiles, and all the various tones of brown in the paint and upholstery.We have a couple of contrasting accents in the room: a bronze aztec mask hand painted with turquoise and silver details and a beautiful Navajo carpet that our friends brought back from Santa Fe, which we use as a throw on the sofa. we also have a couple of mexican pots with aloe and yucca in them, and a bronze lamp with amber glass shade.We have kept the accents down to a minimum of color contrasts. Some people have commented that they find the rooms too dark, but we love the cozy and warm/earthy neutral feel that the space creates. Its a great color choice and we feel we will be able to live with it a lot longer than most of the bright trendy colors that seem to change from year to year. browns are classic and timeless.

Painters - How much do you charge for a room?

Q. I'm a student painter, and sometimes we have trouble estimating the right price.

How much do you guys charge for a average medium-sized room? Lets assume that this room is big enough to use up 80%-100% of a gallon. This includes 2 coats on walls, one coat on baseboard, and no ceilings.

A. 350 is a fair price if they buy the paint.
