What color walls with this bedding?

15 years ago

I'm attracted by this bedding. It's called Boulevard and made by Croscill. The color of the bedding is described as toffee with accents of chocolate. What color would you paint the walls with this bedding? I don't know that I'm into the monochromatic look pictured here. Do think a particular neutrally green or blue would work? Thanks for your ideas.

the color on the wall in the add with dresser (next to the bedding add) would look very nice. Kind of a soft greyish blue.

my first thought with this pic was soft blue or soft turquoise for a beachy feel.

What color bedding would you do in a room with sage green walls?

In our master bedroom we have RH's Silver Sage on the walls -- and use Ralph Lauren's Sussex Gardens comforter and shams in the summer months. Nice colors for the warmer months! Here's an older photo of our summer bed -- I do have a collection of satin comforters -- so I fold a green one or an orange one at the bottom of the bed. And the lady-in-green portrait moves into the living room for the summer now -- and another artwork lives above the bed! :)

Hmmm, that didn't work. Let me try this one. This is back in my little tiny 500 sq ft house. You can also see the bed frame and dresser here. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b6d924b3127ccecedf59d2260200000010O08CcOGLRmxag9vPgg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/ I guess it doesn't look like anything special in the picture, I just love it for some reason, lol.

SW Honeydew Master BR walls - what color bedding/WT
Q
Comments (3)
Honeydew is a fantastic color! We have the SW Celery in our bathroom, and you're right, they are very similar but both beautiful! If it were me, I'd go with something that leans towards aqua or blue. Those colors are so nice together and offer a very cool and peaceful environment. You could also get something that has a tan/blue mix in it so it will blend with your new flooring but I'm huge fan of using white with citrus colors. Very crisp and fresh.

What wall color with this bedding? (pic)
Q

What about both soft green (sage) and pink on the walls--one upper, one lower and meeting together in the middle in a "harlequin" pattern? I don't know if that's the right term or not. I saw the cutest little girl's room using sage green and lavendar done like that and I wanted to replicate it even without having any children, it was that cute. The best I could describe it would be..... let's say pink on top, green on bottom. Instead of the 2 colors meeting in a straight line in the middle of the wall, the lower color looked like the top of a picket fence (^^^^^^^....) and the top color coming down the same way. Anyway, I thought it was cute, and those 2 colors would be similar and a great way to use both colors without one being too overwhelmingly dominant in the room.

I've been eyeing that bedding too. Saw it either at LNT or BBB. Iwas considering BM Aura paint called Azores. It's a beautiful blue green.

If you live near a Miller paint store check out a Devine Paint color called Almond. Contrary to its name it is a blue/green/gray color that looks fantastic with brown. I don't think that the color on their website is very true.

Here is a link that might be useful: Devine paint

If it was me, I would find a paint match of the main color in that bedding. Then that particular paint color will have a sample card with like 3 or 4 other shades/tones on it, right? I would pick one of those---my preference probably being a darker shade. It will complement that bedding and still give you a neutral palette where you can toss whatever color accessories you want in that room. Then the focus will be on your colored accessories---and it would be much easier for you to swap them out for a new look.

cindyxeus - thanks for the suggestions and photoshop. I do like the aqua blue. A very popular color combo currently is aqua blue and chocolate brown and that fits the bill. Thanks.

That's almost exactly like what I was thinking. A soft gray'ed blue/green came to mind immediately.
