Benjamin Moore Crystalline

last year

Opinions needed! Refresh Master Bedroom. I recently had my master bedroom painted in BM Crystalline with SW Alabaster ceiling,crown and baseboard trim. I have lived with it for 2 weeks. It just hasn’t grown on me. I am trying to achieve a tranquil, romantic bedroom. Furniture stays. Everything else can go and be replaced. Adding large screen tv due to eyesight problems with some sort of table underneath. We are replacing windows (haven’t decided yet) and will get new window coverings/curtains. Plan to add IKEA Strandmon wing chairs (I know but we LOVE the comfort of them) in front of windows with the little round table in between which I am willing to have refurbished/stained/ painted.

Hi Patricia! Thanks for responding. I do not have the bedding yet. I was hoping to find a tranquil color on the walls that would work with many different colors of bedding. I was going for a sisal rug, off white curtains and white bedding look. I would pull the wall color through accounts like pillows or throws.

What color should I paint my master bath?

What are the materials? The counter top looks like real stone/ marble. I've seen people drive themselves crazy trying to pick a paint color. Just do it! lol Paint is cheaper than any thing else you will ever do to this awesome bathroom! I agree white is not the right wall color. I admit that the cabinets might not be the best color stain. But it looks like a great space with high quality finishes. What is your favorite color? Consider female makeup foundation colors for your bathroom walls. It sounds a little bit crazy, but these are flattering, natural colors. Pick one to try on your walls that flatters you and doesn't clash with your surfaces!

What paint color should I use to correlate with put master bedroom!?

Yup, that's where I got the recommended Pilgrim Haze for Mosaic Glass and the White Rock for Liberty Park. The only problem is they only give the four colors, and I didn't think any of the others were good for the bath. I wanted to find some bluish colors, wish there were a way to ask Benjamin Moore 'what blues go with this color',etc..

PRO Nicole Lee Interior Designs said, "The wall color is Benjamin Moore Paper White 1590" for this photo. You'd click on More Info to read even more questions and answers.

Do you dislike the color? I think maybe you just need to pull it together with accessories and finish decorating. White bedding would look great with that color. If you want tranquil, get some white curtains as well. I prefer blackout in the bedroom, which you can do with a linen, or if you have shades, then a filmy linen would look nice also. I think the color seems very tranquil, but the room isn’t finished yet, which is why you may not like it. Which fabric were you planning to use with the ikea chairs?

Susie! Thanks for responding. I do dislike the color. In the photos, the color appears more subdue but in person it is very bright, extremely minty causing the Sherwin Alabaster to appear stark white. The windows are only a mere few feet from our blue plastered pool which I suspect is causing the Benjamin Moore Crystalline to go more green perhaps even yellow. I am trying to understand how my color selection went so wrong. I walk into the room feel "ugh". As for the Strandmon charts from Ikea, there are several suitable choices of fabric but until I figure out which direction I go with the paint, I won't select the chairs. I'll try to attach a Houzz photo of a room a LOVE. Finally, you are correct about finishing out the room and the difference it can make. I am considering that also.
