    Wall color should be chosen after the bedding. Is that bedding staying?

    If you are just updating in order to sell, paint the room a creamy white. Don’t spend the money or effort to stain the furniture...its charming as is.

    I’ve brought home many shades of neutrals that don’t seem to go with furniture. I’m thinking a neutral with a warm green undertone might give a little contrast. Any suggestions?

    You are selling. What the buyers want is "light, bright and airy" that will go with *their* furniture and the carpet, not your furniture. So it is easier to go with a popular greenish color than try to find an off white paint that goes with your furniture. Prime the walls with two coats of white. Then try BM Sea Salt, a very popular blue green.

    The new quilt doesn't convey "luxurious master bedroom". Try a poufy new comforter set with popular shades of blue-green.

    A nice light neutral take all the stuff off the walls first and patch the holes all that religous stuff is a turn off for buyers . That coverlet is pretty and should look fine with a cream wall color. Painting your furniture will have no effect on resale bit if you want to then go ahead. No wall paper and declutter as much as possible make sure the room smells fresh and clean

    I never realized the clutter until I took the picture. I ve been told about what I need to remove for staging so better clean it up

    Establishing a neutral base and adding pops of color will update your space and maintain a more timeless look. A warm toned gray or a khaki would allow you to stay with a warm color palette or transition to cooler tones.

    SW 6163 Grasslands

    SW 6171 Chatroom

    The above are great neutrals with the versatility of working with nearly the full spectrum of colors. If you intend to darken the body of your furniture pieces, the lightest of the wall colors, Grasslands, would be your best bet to keep the room calm and will offer the most contrast. Once you update the furniture, select your bedding; look for bedding in an ivory for a fresh and coordinating update. Consider pulling in some metallics for accessories- bronze or copper would be beautiful accents in this space!

    Happy painting!

    Furniture is staying as is for now . Bedding is also staying. I’ll pop on new pillows . Bedroom faces east with one small window.
    I’ve had swatches on the walls and keep coming back to 3choices, Elmira white( read it has pink undertones) , muslin( quite beige) , natural linen( green undertones) and daughter liked old prairie.i don’t want pink undertones. Which of these will eliminate that

    Easiest to prime the walls in white, then make your final choice of the three samples you have narrowed it down to. The reddish paint is casting reflections on your samples.

    I’ve painted BM
    Elmira white and it looks more gray than tan. I’m struggling as to keep spread and use accent colours or replace with new spread and curtains
