How to Combine Revere Pewter And Living Room Decor

Since Revere is a perfect choice for large rooms, such as a living room, no wonder people often pick it up for painting the walls there. However, then an issue arrives of how to combine this color with a living room decor so that the whole space looks harmoniously.

To enhance this neutral greige, try to make use of a neutral-colored rug. It will create a visual anchor for the whole room. Also, if you have a sofa in a warmer tone, it will bring the whole neutral palette together.

If, on the contrary, your goal is to pop the color, we would recommend you using curtains of any bold and bright color. They will stand out against this elegant greige and highlight its warmth better. And like that, you will have no problems with deciding what color of the curtains to use with Revere Pewter!

As for the decor elements, Revere matches well with metal items of golden and silver colors. So if you have lamps, door handlers, or other minor pieces like that, feel free to incorporate them into the interior, the living room will only win from their presence!

The great thing about Rever is that it can be used both as an interior and exterior paint. However, if you decide to paint your house from outside with it, you will have to take several nuances into consideration:

This paint color looks best of all on brick and siding.
