Had my room painted evening dove by Ben Moore but just not loving the dark blue. Wanted to add coral accent color but don't think the blue works. Thinking should've gone w gray. Any ideas for paint???

I actually do like the color...because there is so much you can do with it! Color is one of the last things I consider when painting...as I choose everything else first then my color. But, this is truly a great color. You need to finish the room,,,with a couple of accent colors. Red, Mineral Blue, teal, emerald, accents of black, but always staying with the creme to break it p...You need new bedding and window treatments and art and a couple of pie
ces of furniture like night stands and lamps or light sconces and you won't believe how pretty this room will turn out!

I think that dark color based on the picture makes the space smaller. I think a shade of grey would look awesome with that coral color and also make it appear lighter space wise.

Sorry, but who can even notice the walls. You'll get better advice if you straighten up the room and post new pictures.

Lift up the bottom of the bed and pull the rug out about 2 or 3 feet into the room.

This dark color on all walls does seem to close the room in.

Leave the wall that the bed is on this blue and paint the other walls a light gray. Get a headboard in a light color, painted or upholstered.

There are a lot of same-sized graphics in this space in the bedding and rug. They can battle between themselves and keep the room from being relaxing. Change one of them to a smaller pattern, and one that has some of your blue and coral in it.

I love dark bedroom walls; I love your color. Don’t do a coral with it, though. Go more peachy.
