Need color and placement colors to paint master bedroom

5 years ago

Hi,

I had shutters installed about 2 years ago. I have been wanting to paint our master bedroom but have held it off because I had no time to decide on a color.

I have seen in modern hotel rooms that they use 2 to 3 colors, one wall would be painted dark and the other walls, light (off white or white).

I'm interested in neutral colors, using the colors of our carpet (see photo).

Would anyone have any idea of colors in the beige family, maybe.

If I have two to three colors, one dark and one light, which wall would you use for the darking one. If you have a photo of the bedroom, that would be wonderful to see.

In this photo, you walk in and you see the windows.

Thank you for any advice and tips.

Sincerely,

Dolly

I’m not a fan of focal walls that are a different color, but if you want to do it, the wall the bed is on usually is the focal wall. Can you post of picture of that wall to see if it’s a suitable candidate? You have a lot going on with the other walls with different heights, ledges, vaults, etc. maybe not the best room for two colors. Normal photos, no panoramas, it’s hard to tell what we’re looking at with a distorted photo.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I will take photos of each side soon. Our master bedroom is lived in and not as neat, so I will have to move things away. We do plan to purchase a new bedroom set and place the TV on the wall. Actually, I want simplicity so maybe one tone would be fine too. This room needs a new coat of paint. Thanks for listening.

aklvdb, we painted our bedroom Valspar Iron Frost which is even darker than Night Train (as it looks on my monitor). When it was first done, it seemed very dark, but the room is very sunny/bright, and it's just such a beautiful color that we love it --- on all 4 walls. (That said, of course, since you already have curtains on order, wait before making a decision!)

Here it is! The first 2 pictures were taken with my cell phone. It does not look this green in person, but it definitely has an olive cast. The last 3 were taken with my camera, and looks more like it. I think it's OK . -- Looks nice against the white -- I think it will look good if I accessorize with some gold. Hopefully it'll come together after the furniture goes in.

I think you're going to want to take your color cues from the finishes you choose for flooring, cabinets, etc., especially in the bathroom. Once you have those, start pulling paint swatches that coordinate and take you in the direction you want to go. I've seen some lovely and classic looking barn doors done, so I'm sure you can pull off the look. I have seen people caution against using them between bedroom and bath though, as you may have more light and noise leakage that you get with a traditional door.

I had a very hard time finding this duvet cover to fit our comforter, and it wasn't cheap either! so I'm going the other way :) need wall color to match the bedding. How do you change the color of the walls in a picture? I could play with something like that. Thank you!
