Got it. (or so I think) You can get a lot of color with throws, pillows, plants, lamps, art, books..narrow on whether you like solids or patterns speak to you most, and which ones..from my experience the more you mix, in terms of both colors and patterns, (takes some basic rules to follow, the rest are easier to break)) the better and easier and more fun it becomes, but takes time and figuring out what you want, whether the room is happy with what you want, and feeling when to stop or when to continue. Texture is also very important. Different surfaces will reflect light differently, so even same color won't read as same. Seems like a lovely house..love your floors and wall color. Very versatile, great to work with. Won't be boring-you just see it empty right now. As said upthread. already. It won't be.

OK, you have three discussions on this room and this isn't even the furniture you will have in it. Do you have the furniture chosen? Do you need help with that? I notice from your ideabooks you like a modern style. You're putting the cart before the horse by choosing colors before choosing your furniture. So let's back up a bit and start over, eh? How will you use this room? Will there be a TV? If so, we need to locate it and the seating so we can see what fits. After your furniture is chosen, we look for art and rugs. THEN we think about paint.

@Condo Association Hi, yes I did! I LOVE my teal wall! It is Benjamin Moore Jade Garden juxtaposed against Sherwin Williams Alabaster. I did not follow the advice of these professionals in this chain who told me I should get my decor first before picking a color. I still haven't picked my new bedding but I'm sure it will all look fine when I do. I won't be inviting professional designers into my bedroom to nitpick how the undertones of my bedding and walls match lol. I have gold lamps which look great against the teal and the white juju hat also provides nice contrast. I say go for it!! Color is such a fun and easy statement and I love how you can be bold with it. I repeat, this is super old bedding and I have not replaced it yet because I am focusing on other areas of the house first in terms of decor. Room decor is not complete. I got my new guest bedroom bedding yesterday and put it on my bed just to take a look at it (guest bed mattress and frame have not arrived yet....will iron, don't worry)
