You have a world of possibilities. Nowadays you can get away with almost anything. It mainly depends of your taste. If you love huge splashes of color that jump out at you then play off of your black, red and blue. If you do not like the bold look then try to play them down with neutral colors. A few ideas to get you started:
Take pictures of your existing colors(tile, furniture, etc.) and go to your paint store and compare the sample cards to give you ideas on what other colors will blend well.
Get yourself a focal point for the rooms. Your focal point could be a case, a pillow, fabric you have picked out for a curtain, anything that inspires you and that has the colors you love.
The main thing to remember is that this IS YOUR HOME and YOU are the one who will be looking at these walls everyday. Just make sure you are comfortable with the choices you make. (The end result does not have to look like it came right out of a decorating magazine.)

Good Luck!

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
