Hey guys please help me paint my bedroom.... plz?

Question

hey ... i am repainting my bedroom and the problem is ...... i am choosing a shade of creamish white for the ceiling .... and on the walls i want to use Orange color and along with that another color in combination. but i am not sure how to go about it. there are 4 walls which need to be painted. should i use same color of orange on all walls. or should i use two shades of orange ... so i can use different shades on consecutive walls i.e. walls facing each other would have same shade of orange. or should it be like having 3 walls painted orange and the fourth one painted with the same color as color of the ceiling. or would any other lighter shades go with the dark orange color ... please help and tell me the colors of all four walls ... not just 2 walls bcos every site shows 2 walls ... thanx in advance

Answer 1

Depends on the dimensions and decorations of the room. If you want an accent wall to draw attention to an item like a bed or a piece of artwork. You can either accent the wall with cream for a bright clean look or a darker orange for a dramatic look. A bright accent wall can make your room look longer or dark can feel more cozy. Color can be used to create the illusion of space or comfort. I'd keep the orange colors pretty close in shades to avoid a clashing and chaotic look. Here is a site to help cut through the confusion

Answer 2

It depends on your taste, there's a variety of ways you could do it.
If you really like the orange you could do three walls orange and the other wall another color - just remember the one wall that's a different color is going to become a focal point, so I'd suggest it be the wall your bed is on, unless you have another dramatic piece (i.e. a fancy dresser) to go on that wall. Or you could use the orange to make it the focal point and paint the other walls the cream.
If you use 2 colors and paint opposing walls the same color, keep in mind that the darker colored walls are going to make them look closer together, so preferably put them on the walls that are furthest apart.
If you're looking for another color to add in here are some other ideas:
For a monochromatic look, you'd go with other shades of orange.
Or there's blue, which is a complimentary color to orange, so I'd maybe get some paint chips of blue's you like and try them next to the burnt orange.
Or you could go with reds and yellows (this is called analogus).
And lastly, there's triadic - with your orange you'd use a shade of green and shade of purple.
All would work really well, it just depends on your personal taste and what colors you want.

Answer 3

Orange can be a pretty intense color, especially for a bedroom. If I were you, I'd paint three walls a more neutral color, perhaps a lighter shade of the orange (which would probably look more peach), and then one accent wall in orange. I'd probably paint the wall on which the head of the bed rests so that I wouldn't be looking at bright orange while trying to relax in bed.

Answer 4

I say use your orange color only on one wall as an accent wall perhaps behind the bed. Then use maybe a peach color, a neutral color or some lesser hue of the orange on your other 3 walls. Use the orange color of the accent wall in some throw pillows or some other accents scattered around the room.'

Answer 5

my advice is to paint one wall the dark orange colour. On the remaining three walls mix the dark orange 1/2 and 1.2 with the cream colour for your ceiling. That way everything will go well together. It also looks great to have one dark wall that is a stricking colour.

Answer 6

I would only do two walls in orange, and the opposite two in the cream color. Another option is to paint all four walls orange and stripe two of the walls with the cream color...

Answer 7

Depending on how brave you are, I love to see bright orange, pinks and dark reds together....I am going to go to the Sherwin Williams paint site......pick out the orange for the walls (doesn't have to be shocking, but not a peach)....then think of a quilt with all the colors above and more....if I find something that knocks my socks off in combination, I add to my answer....go for it!!!

Answer 8

yellow .... its a happy colour ????
