Here's my Bedding--help me pick a Gray please!!

12 years ago

I want to do a warm Gray or Greige. Got lots of gray paint names on my other post but now I have pics of the bedding and accent pillows. I like the SW Latte with it alot, which is my bathroom color and you can see it in some of the close-ups. But I want to paint my bedroom something different. They are connected, so it needs to flow....TIA!!!!

This is the duvet cover and one of the pillows. It also came with 3 creamy white Euro Shams.

Love this wall color with it but don't want the same thing.

This is SW Requisite Gray. I'm afraid it may not be dark enough??

This is SW Pavestone (my trim is white). Too dark? I only have one west-facing bay window w/a tree in front of it.

well...i have bm revere pewter(very light) and weimeriner(darker) in our bedroom/sitting rooms...both are 'warm' brownish grays and either would probably look nice with your bedding...

i would also be inclined to go darker with your bedding...

SW Relaxed Khaki or Univesal Khaki? This strip can rad brown or grey.

Here is a link that might be useful: SW Universal Khaki

Hello! This is awesome information, thank you all so much!! ttodd - so you used fabric glue instead of sewing? Was it messy? Do you think it will hold over time? I was thinking of sewing it as I have never used the glue. charlieinnj - wow! That looks great! I'd like to try this as well. Sleek/comtempory...yes this is exactly what I am going for. Yes, the quilt wall hanging may not work! LOL! I'll have to break that to dh. Ok, about the fabric repeating exactly...I wonder if one 84" or 96" curtain panel will be enough fabric to accomplish this? This is a curtain panel that I found, not fabric. blondepegasus - yes, I will have the yellow ribbon on the curtains, the yellow in the fabric wall hangings, yellow pillows on the chair. I'm so excited to get started on these projects!! Thanks!! Elaine

I'm with Les on ' don't bother with improving for appraisal' -- except where lack of maintenance shows. Thus peeling paint on the trim needs to be cleaned up so do the 'white thing' just to tidy for now. The area in front of the brick porch wall needs tidying - perhaps buy another small bush or three for that area and trim the bush to the right in the pic. Any other areas which aren't clean and tidy (not meaning mag picture perfect - just clean and tidy) need addressing for appraisal purposes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there was a prior post on possible improvements for this home, with some photoshopping and suggestions of beefing up the columns and like that?? So OP is looking for trim color suggestion not general improvement suggestions? So basically answer to question would be paint trim white (good base for future color choices) and clean, tidy & scrub for appraisal purposes. IMHO

The Home Decorating forum is really good with color, too (especially when working with a bunch of neutrals and various textures), so try to cross-post over there, too. :-)

Peach - you're bedding is beautiful! I'm following your posts as I'm looking for a warm gray too. Can't wait to see what you pick! Can I ask what color your flooring is?

I like all these suggestions! Kturner, thanks. I lucked out finding those accent pillows to go with it. My flooring is just an off white/beige'ish carpeting. Nothing too exciting. My furniture is cherry and my bedside tables also have tiger maple drawers. So, lots of warmth going on.

Just a suggestion but have you considered having one of the grays in your bedding or pillows color matched?

I'm thinking maybe the gray of the middle stripe in the round pillow shown in the 7th photo and again in the last pillow photo down.

Great idea. I've heard places like Home Depot can match just about anything you haul in there. SW Pavestone is actually a pretty decent match to the gray'ish section of the bigger six sided patchwork pillow. I think the gray stripe in the round pillow is going to be lighter, maybe like SW Requisite Gray or BM Revere Pewter.
