I kind of like the green color! Perhaps you could go white on the other walls to freshen it up? Makes me think of this room:

I aslo like the green but IMO you need nicer bedding and much more tailored with that bed and the other furniture.Waht are those pieces of paer taped to the wall.? You need a much larger bedside lamp and honestly less clutter on the dresser. I do not really see any space for a chair so in this case less is definately more. I would find some bedding maybe a paisley coverlet then choose a wal color from it and I think the rug can go I never like a rug under a desk chair. Can you post pics of the art you are think of/

Why are you considering gray at all since it doesn't work with the green (assuming you're keeping the accent wall, which is soft and lovely). A creamy white is the way to go. It would bring out the warmth of the wood finish of your desk and dresser, complement the green, and give you a soothing, light feeling in the room. Like Patricia, I think rug doesn't work.

Thank you all for the advice! Overall i don't really like the green accent wall since it's just not my thing, and the rug I'm trying to make work because I like how it looks / the floor underneath is pretty bad so I wanted to cover it up / I don't have money to swap it out at the moment. Sorry I should have specified further. So any ideas that do help to keep the rug / and assuming I'm removing the green accent wall would be great.

I'll try to avoid over cluttering the surfaces - maybe go with a lighter creamier white to match the wood - and straighten up the comforter. Patricia how would I tailor the bedding further? I know it looks a bit blah as is. Thanks!

If the rug is more important than the green wall, then do the entire room in white--not a stark white, though, since you have wood trim--maybe a white with a hint of gray as below. That way you have the gray rug on the floor without the gloom of current gray. Look for light colored bedding and get a throw to coordinate with the rug or in a color you pull from your art work on your dresser.

If you're thinking about window treatments, either get curtains the color of your eventual walls or bamboo shades like these below in the same color as your wood furniture. Everything should hang together.

I'm not crazy about gray anywhere, most especially not in a bedroom, but if you must have it, then you could do a gray accent wall behind the bed and white for the other walls. It does help that you have warm, wood furniture, some art work, and wood floors to warm up the gray. A lot depends on the light you get and what happens when that tree leafs out. Those factors will affect your wall color.

Okay much appreciated, thank you Housegal!

So the windows are getting light from what direction? In the meantime, I notice that the gray walls have a flat or matte finish and the green wall has satin,..something shinier. The green sheen in making the gray look dull and dingy.

Hi Judy, the windows face the west. And yea i think i may have gone fully flat with the grey (did it a year ago or so) and I thought it was flat green but maybe it was matte green. I agree that's what I was feeling as well.

I have a couple of paint color recommendations for West light.

The first is B.M. Patriotic White.

Another is B.M. Valley Forget Tan.

Both will work with the warmer natural light and will work when you need artificial lighting, and will compliment the gray rug.

Try eggshell for the sheen and make sure the ceiling is a nice, bright white, in matte finish.
