Hi Debbie,

I would definitely suggest using this color in your bedroom. I have used it successfully in bedrooms myself.

Using a single color for walls and ceilings expands the spatial perception of a room. Painting walls, ceilings, doors, trim, built-ins and closet doors in the same color creates what I call: the "canvas" background effect. That way, your eyes will be drawn to furnishings and fabrics instead of the cutouts and openings in the space. Another quick trick is to keep the color contrast between walls and ceilings to a minimum; that will make people less aware of generally lower heights.

Best luck with your project!

Thanks so much for your detailed response. I'm considering the "canvas" effect for this project, however, I haven't determined the right white to pull it off. I wanted something warm that doesn't read yellow, yet has enough depth to feel like a color. Considering Benjamin Moore feather down for walls, doors and trim and Sherwin Williams creamy for the ceiling.

I greatly appreciate any feedback from a professional like yourself!

Thank you,

Debbie
