Need color help for bedroom

12 years ago

My master bedroom is very large but boring! I moved into my place in March and can't quite decide what to do. I am pretty happy with my furniture and comforter and want to stick to grey as an important color in the room. I also have some purple and my wood furniture is mostly white except for one piece.

I am open to any suggestions but am really thinking of doing a feature wall behind the bed. I want to use grey paint but I am afraid there will be too much grey then.

What other colors should I introduce in the room and how? Paint? Pillows? Other items? I moved the blue pillows recently to another room but am open to blues.

Any ideas please? Kind of in stuck mode.

Thank you.

A blue to match your blue pillows would be very pretty and it would give you a subtle pop of color!

I love the comforter! The side chair is a wonderful warm rich color and I think would look great on your walls but you need to change the lampshades to either a grey to match the pillows or white to match the trim and nightstands. The mirror above the bed is beautiful but too small over the bed. Maybe add a painting with grey tones over the bed and use grey as your main accent color.

I would paint the wall behind the bed a soft purple such as SW Wood Violet #6557:

An easy way to add some personality is to find some more artwork to put up. You have lots of blank wall space, and I think part of your problem is that there isn't enough stuff to add visual stimulation. That small wall that juts back is perfect for a picture.

You might also find a large fern or other plant in a nice bright pot to go behind the chair.

I think grey walls would look nice-a medium grey, not too dark. Art work with rich reds, among other colours would look great against a grey wall. The lamp shades should be white. The mirror doesn't really go with the room. Maybe by the front door of the house. Personally I don't like anything over the bed...paranoid of it falling on my head! Maybe a couple of faux sheepskin rugs on the floor to break up the mauve carpet, plus they're lovely on the feet!

Consider BM Nimbus or Smoke Embers. No undertones at all. Consider Willow Creek for the accent. They are all on the same strip.

Thanks everyone. I am going to try a couple of samples of grey paint tomorrow. One has blue undertones. I am seriously thinking of moving the mirror-a couple of people have said it doesn't work well. I am wanting to put some additional items on the walls. I have some colorful plates in blues, greens, etc that I want to try. The carpet is cream by the way. I know the coloring in pictures can be deceiving. Thanks for your suggestions. I needed some pushes.
