Master bedroom paint color help!
Comments (3)Especially in bedrooms, I start with the fabrics first as it's much easier to match a paint to a fabric than the other way around. Do you know what you want to do for bedding, window treatments, art work, carpets? If you have one of them to steer you, then picking a wall color will be much easier....See MoreHelp Me decide on Paint Color for Master Bedroom/Bath
Comments (10)To answer your direct questions: Put the darker color behind the bed headboard and then decide if you want one accent wall (usually a lot of contrast) or if you want to have two walls each color. The Santorini Blue is not baby blue, but I would put a color swatch in your room to see how it looks in different light if you decide to go in that direction. Glass Slipper is more ice blue than baby blue. I LOVE the Santorini blue, but thought it was too dark to have on all four walls. Your bedding is very neutral and very pretty. When I look at it I think "irredesence" or opal. Everyone does this differently, but I tend to decide what I want a room to FEEL like and then go from there. For our bedroom I thought "sleeping in the clouds". Hence, I have blues, whites, creams and beige. For our bathroom I wanted "beach spa". I also suggest you look through the bathroom pictures on the bathroom forum. I found several inspirational rooms that worked with the tile and cabinets we had. I think one of the reasons you are struggling is that you are working with "what matches" instead of what look do I love. Love something, make it work in your room. Having said that, I think your tile would work well with blues, tans or many of the greiges. Whatever you decide, you are likely going to need an accent color since your bedding has wonderful texture, but only one color. Again, look at the bathroom forums pictures and here in gallary under "bathrooms". Which rooms catch your breadth or you say to yourself, "I want that feeling". Good luck!...See MoreRug over carpet , color palette for master bedroom
Comments (50)Yes true... expensive is the safer route! i want to take a middle road though.. i m going to call the paint company who have been doing paints in this house for the previous owners .... they did the Venetian plaster so they would know ...they r also not the regular painters but high end :/ expensive ones .. but I will call them anyway to see what they can do about the paint. The window treatment I have looked into and it runs in thousands ... I seriously want to stay away from spending thousands on some plainish window treatment .. i would be happier if I could get away with keeping the curtains and spending the same money on a nice buffet for my dining or an expensive crystal chandelier .. what do you think is there any way I could keep them ? Or maybe go with a cheaper jcpenney type option?...See MoreSuggestions for paint color in master bedroom?
Comments (2)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....See MoreRelated Professionals

6 years agoI think you are asking if a pink bedroom can look like an adult space.
Do you want pink as a wall color or bedding color?

IMO a blush can be quite nice in a bedroom even if you have a male partner.I think even my hubby could handle these. I would not paint the walls blush though.I like a romantic feel in my bedroom without it being girly. and gray and pink are a natural combo
6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoI love pink and would love a pink master bedroom but someone here considers it too feminine...
This is how designer Julian Harris did pink in her master bedroom.
This MB is from Suzanne Kasler.
The bedroom below is considered emerald green but you can't help notice the strong pink. Beautiful combo!
Sometimes, all you need is just a touch of pink. :)
Perhaps this room designed by Maria Killam wouldn't be considered too feminine?
Always willing to provide pink rooms for inspiration. :) Good luck!
ETA: Found this AD article on decorating with pink when I searched for a room designed by Jamie Drake (I knew if anyone had designed a pink MB, it had to be him.)

another way to approach colors is the half-wall. I did this for my office and love it. a huge advantage is that if I ever want to repaint, I can do just the bottom half without even having to stand on a ladder!
also, the use of black and grey below helps make the pink seem less feminine (if that's what you're worried about).

I like that idea, B F. Gosh, there are some pretty pink bedrooms out there. Pairing pink with brown can give it a more "adult" feel as well. Found a BHG slideshow with a variety of bedrooms using red or pink. A couple of favourites:
Immaculate, have any of these inspired you? Are you starting with a blank slate? If you're up to sharing pics of your room, we'd have plenty of suggestions for you, I'm sure.

I live in an antique house and mine is pink! But we inherited it this way and I've kept it.

6 years agoYes, 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.
