Janie Grace Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Just moved into a new house and my room is gold. I tried to get used to it, but I have concluded I don't like it (though dh does... but I think he might just be painting project averse!;) ) It's nice and warm, but it just feels like too much for a bedroom... I want something softer/calmer. My comforter is sort of a grey/khaki color. I was thinking blue for the walls but now I am wondering if that will be too cold for a bedroom. What do you think? What color is YOUR room? Dh says anything is fine with him except pink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) robin egg blue, it is not cold at all, but I do have brown drapes and spread on the bed, it is so calming to me. ETA: It is very close to the Williamsburg Blue referenced above. I can make a picture of my room if you want to see it on the walls?

mommaduck Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 White with crayon drawings. We're painting soon. My favourite bedroom had red carpeting (and pink walls, but I could do without the pink walls); second favourite bedroom was painted a subdued green.

gingersmom Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Its kinda a taupey color. I really like it. My room used to be blue because I read it was a calming color and good for the bedroom. Uggh. I hated it. It was anything but calming. I used to lie in bed and stare at the walls and wonder what was I thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdkidsmom Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Mine is a deep, warm yellow. So many great color ideas. This thread is making me want to paint something....but my dh has an aversion to painting projects :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Liveable Green with white moudling. Ours is probably a shade or two darker than this. I really do love it! It matches our bedspread. One of these days I'd like a red (and taupe) room, though. (That real pretty dark color) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 We live in a rental, and although we were told it was fine to paint, the master bedroom is huge and is currently 3, yes 3 shades of mustard yellow. I've dealt with it for 3 years so I just let it go. The walls are a medium shade (imagine grey poupon smeared all over) the ceiling is a slightly lighter shade (maybe grey poupon mixed with a little mayo) and the wood trim, which in the rest of the house is a nice bright white is the darkest shade (imagine grey poupon mixed with a hefty dose of french's classic yellow) We'll be here until Sept. 2012, so maybe I'll paint it sometime this year.

JennyD Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Vaguely off-white at the moment (rental), but I just chose a medium brown for the bedroom in our new house. I have a gorgeous quilt that my mom made on our bed and wanted a dark neutral on the walls. We'll see how I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the walls, but I need some color. Everything else in the bedroom is brown and cream and it's a little boring. But I can't figure out what to add. Reds, maybe?

Everything else in the bedroom is brown and cream and it's a little boring. But I can't figure out what to add. Reds, maybe? Bluish greens. The colors of the deep ocean. I use a variety of colors and don't like for things to be too matchy-matchy. My dresser is an antique painted cream. Most of the wood is med-dark. The room isn't bright sunny, but very mellow and calming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetBean Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I have hideous blue metallic print leaves (1970s era wallpaper). Feel sorry for me. :lol: We bought this house 6 years ago, and have been going through it one room at a time, re-modeling and painting. I guess I can't complain, our bedroom is the last room to be done. We did pull the 5 colors of shag carpet :glare: out of the house and install hard wood through out, so at least the floors are nice. Now if we can get rid of that wall paper. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorMom Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 my master bed and bath are open to each other - so I have two colors kinda belnding between the two. I used "Thunder Grey" which is actually kinda a greyish, light sage green color, and Dockside Haze - a light greyish blue color. They are very "spa" like :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugs Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Mine is a gold with a slight green undertone. I had it mixed to match the gold dragonflies on my burgandy curtains. So I have burgandy duvet as well and black end tables. Anyway, I like the color. Most of the walls in my house are painted with bright warm colors - the weather is just too grey for too long.

Garga Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Soft light blue walls and chocolate brown carpet. Cream colored curtains, in a soft linen fabric.
