We're building a new extension onto our house and soon I'll have a new room. I was wondering what I should paint the walls and trim, and what color carpet will be best. I want it to go with my bedspread.
My bedspread is all pastel colors, striped blue, white, pink, green, and yellow. The blue stripes are the thickest and most noticeable. I want the flooring to be something that could easily go with different colors, like, if I deciede to change my bedspread and paint the walls a different color a few years from now. But it CAN'T be white, because white gets dirty too easily and I don't think I'll have enough time to clean it :(
What should I do?

They have a whole range of tan carpeting that looks good with any paint or any decorating color. I would paint the woodword a creamy white and paint the walls the palest blue you can get. Go with a low gloss paint so they are easy to wash. If you use a flat paint, smudges are extremely difficult to remove. If you change bedspreads, you can always change the wall colors and the carpet and trim will be fine.

Paint your walls a light tan or beige. Those colors are neutral
and will go with anything. Paint the trim a darker shade of brown
and find a carpet that has flecks of color mixed with an eggshell
or cream color. Accent the rest of the room in bright colors of
the same colors that is in your bedspread. Try and find curtains
that match the colors of your bedspread or buy sheets that match
and make them into curtains. The paint should be a semi-gloss paint. This paint is washable..

I would do the trim white, somehow trim just always looks best white. I would choose one wall as an accent wall (choose the pastel blue or pink) - like the wall your bed is set up against - your bed will look best if it can be in the middle of that wall. The rest of the walls would look nice in a light gray. Floors? I would do laminate - dark or light would look nice. Have fun!

try traveling the library or bookstores(my popular) to benefit the homestead adorning books and magazines to get ideals. Or try examining the biggest colorations on your needed or latest fixtures and adorning accents which incorporate lamps, photographs, vases, bookshelves, and mattress covers. with a bit of luck you will hit upon a colour which will circulate with all those products. If nevertheless caught, circulate to Sherwin Williams, homestead Depot or Lowes or any paint supplier that has dissimilar paint pattern enjoying cards, and take each and all the paint pattern enjoying cards that seize your fancy. Take turns taping them on your wall and spot the way you like those colors for the time of the day and night. as quickly as you narrowed down the ideas, circulate back and spot in case you will get those pattern paints in the two or 3 oz..jars and paint a pattern board (white poster board or white cardboard field from food market) to work out an improved pattern that may assist you're making an exceedingly final determination. desire this permits....

I answer this question often, and usually the same. You won't get any answers here that are strictly right or wrong, but will be personal opinions and preferences. What works for one, may not work for another.
After applying thousands of gallons of paint,
I know this much. The customer is always right,,, even when they aren't,,,no offense.
I suggest getting a color wheel, or chip sample booklet from a decnt paint dealer, then compare what you have with what you want, and what colors will work with what you have.
The good news about paint is that it can be painted over.

I would paint the walls a soft, buttery yellow. This will match almost anything in the future. Paint the trim white and use wood floors. Be sure when you chose your paint that it is very soft; yellow, more than any other color INTENSIFIES when on the walls.

If it's in the budget, I think hardwood floors are timeless and bring sophistication to any room! For your walls, an ivory or a pale pale yellow look really pretty. Also, a very light aqua-ish blue might be pretty too....
