What wall color?

5 years ago

Hi,
I am doing a bedroom and the wall colours that I had picked don't work with the accent colour at all. I need some suggestions if you are willing to share your thoughts!
It's a low ceiling, rectangle shape room with low slanted ceiling on one side where the head of the bed will be. moderate lighting, oriented East with two windows.
Ceiling is painted Chantilly lace, I have Tuscon Teal for the slated wall behind the bed, and across around the built in cabinets.
I had Soft Sand picked out, and it looks muddy/ pink and overall not great with Tuscon Teal in my opinion.
The trim is White dove semi gloss.
Should I go with White dove on the wall? Or with a beige?
What do you think?
Thank you. Maeva

The wall on the left here won't stay teal because it makes it stick out too much. Only one coat is applied so far and the trim or ceiling aren't done yet.

You can see the little patch of soft sand left of the wall on the far left.

I'm thinking White Dove walls with White dove trims,

Or Seapearl with White dove trims... I'm open to other suggestions but would like to keep it soft and neutral.

I'm pairing with brass/ okres/ some blush pink... Pretty boho.

Thank you 😊

Right now the blue makes the space look very chopped up. I would suggest painting only one wall blue and the others the same color as the cabinets in the last photo if you want two colors.

I would also consider ditching the white and painting all the walls blue.

No beige, either all white, and one accent wall. Beige isnt boho anyway. Go with the teal, and the white, and then use all the accessory colors that you want.

Do all the walls teal. Assuming that is the first coat?

A suggestion for you next project…use the same white on trim and ceiling, trim-semi gloss and ceiling flat.

Forget the idea of an accent wall- pick one color for all the walls.

Thank you all for your inputs! I really appreciate it! I've been pulling my hair over picking colours for the house for weeks! I might post about my kitchen actually 😉...

Everywhere else in the house I have trims and ceiling chantilly lace BM in different sheens. I just so happen to have a full can of trim paint in White dove... So I wanted to find use for it.

Do you think the chantilly Flat will clash with the White dove semi gloss trims/ cabinets and baseboards?

I switched from White dove to chantilly lace in the living room to be safe for that same reason ( walls are Pale Oak there) ...

I was tempted to do it all teal ( yes that's the first coat!) but the room doesn't get a ton of light and I'm a little scared it will darken too much the space... It doesn't show as much in the pictures but it is a pretty full, dark Teal, which I do love.

I'll ditch the Beige idea, Seapearl is more of a light greige, but I think you are right... My husband is voting for two tones over 3 as well.
