Paint color suggestions for Master Bedroom Needed Fast!

14 years ago

We just moved in to our new house. Our bedroom set will be delivered on Friday and I need to decide on a color to paint the bedroom and have it done by then. I need your help in deciding the color.

Here is the background. I always thought it would be a green. I bought this quilt to put on our bed.

My husband and I visited Biltmore this summer and he discovered this bedding set on Biltmore online he liked so he bought this one.

I am trying to incorporate both bedding sets so that the wall color compliments each. I like BM Saybrook Sage especially with my quilt but with the other set I was afraid it would come across as a Christmas themed bedroom. The 2nd bedding has some golds and hints of green in it.

I am also using BM Decatur Buff in the great room and kitchen so I was trying to change the color scheme in the bedroom from looking like the rest of the house. I might not have a choice. Please help me find a good color that looks good with both.

I would stay in the gold family. I might use Decatur Buff or something close to that. What color is your bedroom furniture?

Wander over to Home Decorating the Gallery. (link below) Then click on the thread for favorite Greens and take a look. I think the Saybrook Sage is a lovely color. I don't think any color will still be your favorite when it's time to redecorate in a few years, but greens are certainly timeless. I have several in my home. The Dove White is great for trim.

Yes, I think pink is a beautiful color for a master bedroom! The trick is picking the right pink and then balancing it with other elements that are not overly feminine. I love pink and brown together, or black. When choosing a grownup ink go to the brown section in your color deck. As you move up to the lighter colors you will see what I refer to as dirty pinks. These are softer, more pleasing pinks that men can love.

I keep reading the trend is away from grey and toward beige/greige, but who knows. If you are keeping the pink in the bathroom, grey would look nice with it. Are you getting new bedding? I recently saw a color by SW in a friend's house, called Queen Anne Lilac. It was gorgeous and may go with your shell pink. Hard to say, though, without knowing exactly what pink you used. The photos I've seen online of Queen Anne Lilac look a lot more grey than it did in person, and now that I look at your photo again, it might be too close to what you currently have to be a significant change.

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.

What about Pittsfield Buff? It looks awesome with red!

I really want the bedroom a sage green but I really don't think that's going to happen. I might try a few samples of paint on the walls with both bedding and see how they look. Here is a better picture of the 2nd bedding set.

Patricia43 - Here is a picture of the bed we ordered. The stain is a reddish brown color. I am thinking a color in the gold family might be more versatile.

Bestyears - I can't find the BM Quiet Moments 1563 on my fan deck. Is that a gold color?

Very pretty. Yes, I think something in the gold family will make your bed linens really look great and your furniture will really "pop" with a rich gold on the walls. I think it will be beautiful!

BM Bronzed Beige would be pretty with the second bedding set! It is a light gold color.

I have Saybrook Sage in my MBR and I love it. Make sure you at least try a sample of it with your bedding. The second photos you showed of the bedding looked more rust as opposed to red so I bet it just might work. The Saybrook Sage is a very soothing and comforting color (at least to me). Good luck

Suzieca- the 2nd bedding is more of a rust than a red. My husband likes the darker greens for the walls but I like either something like the BM Saybrook Sage or go with a golden tan.

I am going to get some paint samples and try them of the walls with the bedding to see what looks best. I really need to get a move on because the new furniture will be here on Friday at 8:30am!

Quiet Moments is a green with a lot of gray in it. Gorgeous on the wall! Try doing a search for it here, I think others have used it.

There's a good picture of Quiet Moments from runninginplace on this post. There may be some other colors on this post for you to consider as well...

If considering a green, look at the LA Olives from Lowes. I think an olive would suit the beding.

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.

I have the colors of your bedding n my family room and my walls are painted BM Camouflage. It's a soft grey green. I love it.

The Desert Tan is nice, the MB is a little too cool for my taste. As for the S. Sage...it's not a combo I like with your bedding. Same for DB.

Hope you find something that makes your heart sing. :)

BM Desert Tan is beautiful. I don't care for the others.

Hi!
I wanted to throw out BM Wilmington Tan or Shelbourne buff. I have used WT alot - it looks great with oak & rusty colors, too.

My previous house had oak judges panels in the den & WT looked really good with it.

We just got our furniture delivered and I finished painting last night. I really like the green I ended up choosing with the furniture. It is showing up lighter in the pictures though. I chose BM Louisburg Green. I couldn't find a tan that I was happy with and the green really looks well with the bedding colors.
