The room should only be dark if the panels are closed and I do want it dark then. I will leave the panels open most of the day and close them at night for privacy. The light wall behind the dark panels doesn't look good to me. Maybe painting all the walls to match that dark chocolate color is too dark, but I could also try painting it to match the color of the wall near the head of the bed is enough (or else some other new coordinating color), but I don't like the light wall behind dark panels. I have seen some "dark" painted rooms that look good.

With all that dark furniture I wonder if dark flooring would be a good idea, although I don't know how well dark furniture and a light floor would go together. You could always cover a large portion of the floor with a beautiful Oriental rug with colors that you love and then pull your bedding, pillow and drape colors from that. You could still have a white duvet and focus the color on the pillows. You could choose a soft, pale green for the walls and take that as your inspiration for rugs, drapes, etc. I do think some of these items should have patterns with added colors such as yellow, pale blue, green and a touch of pink or terracotta to add warmth. I would look for pictures on houzz and elsewhere for traditional bedrooms and that should give you wealth of ideas.

I think you could, but in our ceiling like that, we painted the 45 angles the same color as the vertical walls, and put the white only on the middle horizontal line of the room. It was shocking at how different the room felt. It was like someone finally got the combo just right. We had a light green walls, with only the white on the horizontal of the ceiling... The room felt so much larger! So you might consider that. In your case, if you want to do something different?? just put the blue on the horizontal line of the ceiling and put the white on the walls and 45 degree angle surfaces. Blue ceiling are soooo coool! And ....ne'er a spider will make a web there, really! It is crazy but true.

Thank you Ingrid! Love the color accent choices and especially the terracotta idea. Maybe I can Incorporate the color with the bedding and pillows. Looking into artwork. Would the headboard be light or dark if the furniture is black?
