It there a better color for this accent cushion in a modern bedroom?
Hi All!
I was thinking of replacing this bench cushion with another color. Would it be better to keep it neutral or go with a different color? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

There is no “better color”, in this case. It's really all about your personal preference. So if you don’t like the color, and/or just want a more neutral color, change it.
Your wall art is not in complete view; but i think it might have some blue(s) in it, so that potentially ties in the cushion. I will say that I think you could benefit by having table lamps with a bit more presence; and I think bringing in some blue(s) there could be nice with the current cushion/arrangement.

Comments (16)Thanks @loobab! That bedding has turned out to be perfect in every way. It has become the inspiration for the whole house color palette. As often happens with decorating projects, I now have a new problem to solve. I have no place to put all those decorative pillows at night. There’s no other furniture in the room besides the bed and nightstands. Adding a bench at the foot of the bed seems silly with all that space on the sides to work with. A chair would be nice, but what else to put with it? I don’t need or want a dresser. And we don’t watch tv in that room, so a media console isn’t relevant. I fear just plopping a chair in one corner won’t be enough. Please help!...See MoreHelp with Bedroom accents
Comments (11)I'd try to match the color of the bed itself. Dark grey flannel comes to mind for the recess, but I may not be seeing the color accurately on my monitor. Pick up a load of paint chips to find the general range of colors you like with it. Then narrow down and buy sample pots. Paint squares of color in the middle of white poster boards and check out how they look there in different light, at different times of day, and even with different weather conditions outside....See MoreMaster Bedroom - White Walls - Distressed Black Bedroom Furniture
Comments (4)You may want to start saving inspiration rooms you love; it will really help if you have a direction. I would purchase the rug fist vs bedding and cushions so you have a style to build on. Be sure to use various colors, patterns and textures so it feels more interesting The headboard is high and I think art above each night stand would be more complimentary and use small brass lamps for a modern look. You could add the sign on another wall If you need a bedskirt, a more tailored style would feel more modern Dresser and tv wall - mirror, plant, chair, art, baskets...See More
PROlast yearlast modified: last yearHow about some much nicer bedding and that bench is really not that great for adult bedroom. That looks like a duvet with no cover on the bed. I think you can do better so maybe start with a nice duvet cover that has colors you like in it. Not sure if you are male or female so something like this would be nice and then some accent pillows to be either .

I 100% get your need for keeping the storage of this bench. Your room looks sophisticated - wouldn't change the lamps or anything else (what's wrong with a simple white comforter??) The problem is the bench looks kind of juvenille next to the rest of your decor. I would try some woven storage cubes with a bit of brown in them to play off of your head board, and a cushion with some browns or black that has a tiny bit of weave to it.
It could be just as cost effective to get a new bench with storage options. Not knowing what you store in the baskets or how often you access them, I don't know if the configuration of storage in these benches works or not.
