Paint color suggestions for Master Bedroom Needed Fast!
Comments (17)I tried some samples today. None that are really my favorite. From left to right are : BM Desert Tan, Monroe Bisque, Saybrook Sage, and Decatur Buff (this was going to be my choice for my great room and kitchen but it seems darker than I thought - maybe because of the white next to it). I like the greens but am liking the color that's darker on the same color strip of Saybrook Sage(can't think of the name right now). Tell me if you like any of these. The picture turned out dark, sorry....See MoreNeed help with master bedroom
Comments (13)The windows in your wonderful room do present a challenge. I don't know how willing you are to lose one, but here is what I would do. I would look for deeper bedding - I agree that your bedding is too light - you need a richer color to transition between the pale walls and floor and the deep furniture. Not sure of the real wall color, since monitors and light can be deceiving, but perhaps something like this from JC Penney, called aqua blossom. Take your bed and put it up against the end wall, in front of the single window. Then take drapery that matches the bedding and hang that off wood rods in the color of the case goods behind it, closed, to create an elegant fabric backdrop for the bed. I would hang the rod pretty high, to make use of the soaring feeling of the room. Put your nightstands on either side, and add lamps. I would probably do wall-mount swing arms to give more height to balance the headboard. Do the same drapery treatment on the triple window, but just panels hung on either side, and then change out the blinds to wood or woven woods in a richer color. I would create a sitting area in front of the triple windows, with two comfortable upholstered chairs and a shared ottoman, done in a subtle patterned chenille or other soft fabric, in a coral/rust taken from the florals in the bedding. Table between the chairs, with a nice tall lamp. Do the same darker blinds on the dormer windows, and then add the matching valance there, no panels. I would build out window seats with bookshelves underneath in the dormers. I would move the TV to a either a closed armoire type of situation, or wall mount it and put a beautiful console below for other electronics and storage. Place that on the left side of the entry door, to balance the dresser and mirror on the right. It will be visible from the bed and from the seating area. If you can swing the new furniture pieces, I would have the dresser and armoire match the bed - the dresser that is there seems to be a different wood tone. I would use the niche on the wall to put in a fireplace. Not down on the floor level, but up in the niche. It will be visible from the bed that way, as well as from the seating by the window. I would change out the trim to something that matches the darker wood in the room. Something like this, from Magiglo: . Then I would mirror just that one wall area all around the fireplace, to add sparkle and interest to the room. I would take out the ceiling fan and do a pretty chanelier there, add a lamp on the dresser, get rid of the spotlights on the beams or change them to something more subtle. Add some art and you are good to go. Oh, and I think I see dolls up on the beam? They look like they are ready to do a swan......See MoreHave you painted a bedroom a bold or deep color?
Comments (62)yes. definitely green for the bedroom; white trim; brown/natural accents. Probably a bright/medium yellow toned spring, lime, to acid green--a happy, lively color. Looking around my home, I have many accessories in this color range, as well as being prominent color outside. Definitely not a greyed, pastel, sage, or forest green. @ Tibbrix; I think you're right about that color, I looked at it again. The next deeper on the color chart works better. Will be looking for more natural and wood accents, and possibly a medium brown for the smaller bedrooms....See MoreNeed Colour Suggestions for Master Bedroom!
Comments (75)That is the only light fixture in the room and one of the reasons why we moved the dresser to that wall. We used to have our large armoire against that wall which covered the light fixture completely (making it very dark in the winter getting dressed in the mornings!). Yes, we have lamps but it doesn't make sense to us to cover up a light source....See Moreyborgal
