I think a rusty brown is going to make the room very dark and not very attractive. The bedding is already dark.

Have you considered painting the entire room a pale gold or green? Think those colors would enhance what you already have.

Pretty bedroom - furniture and bedding.

Although it might look nice against your bedding, I'm not sure a rusty brown would compliment your furniture very well. I wonder about a green as well, maybe not for the whole room, but for the accent wall. The green would complement your furniture, I think. Maybe pick a dark shade of green that's in the bedding?

I never thought of green or gold. So what shade of green ? The darker color in my comforter? Or gold ? I like the idea of gold.

Here's your bedroom with a sort of gold wall coloring.

I like the idea of gold, but maybe not as yellow as pictured. Try to pick up the gold in your comforter. Look at the SW strips with Blonde, Whole Wheat or Interactive Cream in them (3 different strips). The guy at my SW store said that about 20% of the paint they sell on a given day is from colors on those 3 strips.

I can definitely see the Blonde with your decor or if you want to be a little bolder, the Restrained Gold and Mannered Gold on the same strip are also great colors.

I'd pick up the green of the leaves in your comforter if you decide on green.

Here's an inspiration picture of a bedroom with walls painted gold and the wall behind the bed painted a dark blue. You could do the same with gold and maybe a dark green if you like the way it looks.

Could you post a closer-up picture of the bedding? I was thinking green, too, but would like to see the shades in your bedding closer....

Don't worry, this will be fun! :)

Here are pictures of the bedspread and an updated picture of the bedroom. I added and moved things around.

Thanks for all the help.

Well, IMO nothing is more personal than your bedroom - so if you like brown you should go for it! I love my brown walls. But I like darker walls in a bedroom, makes me feel like I'm being cocooned (does that make any sense?) and so yellows or blues just wouldn't do it for me. You mentioned that you were having trouble envisioning it, so hope my bedroom helps (please excuse the complete absence of furniture or decor of any kind):

FWIW everyone (including my painter) thought I was nuts when I chose the color, but they all loved it when it was done - including the painter ;-)

I tried to mock up your accent wall in a green from your comforter. What do you think of this color?

I think a cocoon in green would be very nice, from the bedskirt:

Trying to get a brown. Here's a kind of Golden Mustard brown:

Do you live near any Benjamin Moore dealers? I think the best way to pick a color is by sampling the colors on your walls. Benjamin Moore sells samples of their paints $4.99 for 2oz.

How about:

BM Northhampton Putty? (it's in my MBR)
BM Jamesboro Gold (FR)
BM Blair Gold (LR)

I think Northhampton Putty (greenish, brown depending on light) or Jamesboro Gold (more brownish, depending on light) would look great in your MBR. I can post pics of my rooms if you're interested.

As an accent wall, in rusty brown. Ceiling freshened. Maybe add an area rug, here in sisal (shown in a golden and a pale). First two walls are darker:

Very beautiful bedroom....and gorgeous wall color....I love it..

Thank you...thank you for all of the input! I am more of a visual person. I plan to go to the city this weekend to look at colors.

mldao, I will look up the colors you recommended also. Great idea about trying samples.
