Need help with new color paint for Master Bedroom.

13 years ago
We are looking to repaint our Master Bedroom which is currently Benjamin Moore Lodge AF-115. I would love to do a shade of gray, but am concerned about whether my mission style furniture (very warm tones) can handle it. Any suggestions in how to use a gray for this space?

    Hi chuck, your current BM AF-115 looks nice!

    You will need to consider whether you need a cool or a warm tone in your room. With the ceiling fan, I'm assuming your room could be hot so it needs a cooling colour. Personally, I am not a fan of grey and brown together, I know it is the new thing, but I would prefer to see a soft light blue to pick up on the navy in your rug

    Found this and chipped it with SW paint. The Urbane Bronze is here as an accent, and there is a gray you might like.

    I just had my bedwall painted a very similar shade, and we move in 2 weeks so I'll know that our wood furniture looks good with it soon.

    Goodness you are busy Ed. Like the Respite a bit paler and "prettier".

    Love the plum idea but of course it is going way off the poster's original idea.

    The color 'cityscape' looks lovely with your furniture.

    Wow.....Ed thank you so much for helping me "see" all those different colors! I can't believe how different each color looks!

    My favorite "warm" grey is Benjamin Moore Rockport Grey. Here it is in our home...

    I just bought sample of Rockport Grey....thanks for giving me an idea of how it looks!
  • 13 years ago
    No problem! We also used cliffside gray which is a beautiful calming gray with some blue in it. Works well with wood.

    We are loving Kelsey Cordill's shade.

    The brown is a bit too " farmyard" brown for me, I love the furniture etc though. This is one of my favourite photos, the walls are grey, and the orange pops it beautifully.

    Thanks for the new ideas. We have replaced our bed with a Charles Rodgers wrought iron bed. I'm still debating colors.....but love Kelsey Cordill's suggestion!
