Paint Home Decorating Design Dilemma

What color carpet to go with BM Ballet White?

5 years ago

Wondering if all you design lovers could help point me in the right direction in picking a carpet color /pattern for a bedroom, using the paint color Ballet White by Ben Moore? Would like to keep it neutral, nothing too loud. We don't have any furnishings in this room yet to go off either. This is the brand we will be using I think https://shawfloors.com/flooring/carpet/ Any info would be appreciated.

So in a bedroom the wall color is usually the last thing you choose after the flooring, the furniture and most important the bedding so now you are trying to make the most expensive parts work with the cheapest part which is paint. I would choose a carpet you like and then work with that for everything else and that might include repainting the space.

Ballet White is an off white with brown undertones. If you look at the BM color chart they recommend a brownish gray, warm red or blue . All warm tones. Definitely earth tones. This gives you lots of options.

This designer painted the walls ballet white used White Dove on the trim for contrast and used a purple and light gray woven rug in the space.

Here is another room with Ballet White. This time the rug has gold and whites in it.

I've never used Corinthian White, but I really love BM Simply White. It goes with pretty much everything and is a lovely true, but not too bright white. I hope you'll post some pics when you're done? I'd love to see this wall color. :)

White kitchen cabinet color to go with BM White Dove walls and trim

No problem, and thank you! Our kitchen was previously a garage so it really came a long way! It was quite the renovation. Our cabinet doors are from Semihandmade. I’m not sure whether they would be standard or full overlay. The doors and drawers completely cover the cabinet frame though. Our countertops are a white quartz, and our backsplash is a marble subway tile. All goes very well with BM White Dove and Natural Cream!

Which white trim colors look best with BM ballet white?
Q

I was thinking of using Ballet White in my living room, but it ended up looking a little green. I think it's a pecularity of the lighting in that room, however, as Winds Breath also looked green. I then sampled Classic Gray which is what I am going to go with. In any case, I think Simply White would look better with Ballet White than Chantilly Lace. Simply White is warmer. Chantilly Lace is a very white white. You'll have to sample as colors look different depending on the lighting. Classic Gray doesn't look very gray in the room I'm using it in.

Thanks so much for your advice. i believe there are some LED ”daylight” bulbs, but not all of them. will address rhat as soon as i move in! The blue was so add some ”color” - the area will be used as my teenage boys’ gaming and hangout area. i made these mockups using a free online collage software just to put my actual furniture together to play with color schemes. i know it wont look exactly like this, but it just gives me a better idea visually. The paintings do have dark blue and can get some throw pillows for the couches.
