What would you do with this wall?

last modified: last year

This is a photo of the primary bedroom in a home we are purchasing. It is REALLY not my taste - though a lovely space. I"m not a fan of the black and orange at all. House was built in 1918 but this is in a more contemporary feeling addition off the back - I don't mind doing something "older." I was thinking of doing a wallpaper accent wall where they have the black? Color ideas? thoughts? And what would you replace that ceiling fixture with?? And p.s., the "pictures" over the bed on the left and right side are covering up nice windows....

    The home looks like it is staged with a very modern twist throughout. (Yep, I peeked at the listing.) Will you keep this vibe throughout the house or do you want to bring more of a classical feel back to it?


    Once you remove the light fixture and black wall, it is a total blank slate in here. Make it continuous with the style that you are bringing to the rest of the home.


    I think an accent wall looks silly here because of the slanted ceiling. I'd much prefer it painted all one color, no wallpaper either. It is a nice light filled space.


    What furniture will you have in here? Can you describe to us your style, show inspirations pics, pics of your furniture?


    I lived in a home for 1852 with an addition much like this. We furnished it in ways similar to that of the rest of the house so there was not a jarring transition.

    Lots of unexpected expenses when moving to a new house, so all I would do is repaint that wall to match the other walls and move my furniture in. Take your time to come up with a design for the room.

    So helpful - yes, we will be using it as a primary bedroom. We are partial to moody colors, and also like blues and greens…. It’s a huge high ceiling - would you do the ceiling a different color than walls? color thn

    So in answer to your question, the dining room of the house is closest to my taste- kind of a mix of period elements with modern mixed in. I don’t necessarily love the furnishings but I like the paint and light fixture here. How do I carry this through to a huge space like the primary bedroom?

    I would keep dark accent wall. It adds depth.

    Or if you like more green color

    Thank you! Do you think an accent wall works with the big vaulted ceiling (show in my original post photo?). It is a huge white ceiling. I am curious about thoughts too whether to keep this ceiling white or paint it a different color? I'm partial to blues for bedroom....Benjamin Moore Newburg Green maybe, which is a very dark moody blue? TIA!

    I'm giddy over the idea of you drenching this vaulted ceiling and walls in a moody blue. I'd use white curtains to lighten it up a tad and brass or gold chandelier to pop against it. I love enveloping a sleeping space. Benjamin Moore raccoon fur is my favorite moody blue. In low light it is very moody. With natural light, it is less so.






    Interrupted by wallwallpaper ... I love the contrasting curtains and how the light fixture pops.
