Bedroom wall paint (behr) suggestions?

Question

I'm getting a new cherry stain wood bedset and I don't know if I should try to find something that light or if i should go with a darker color. I've been going crazy with the smart color on behr.com .... i looked at colors like adobe straw and raspberry pudding...i just don't know really.

I want to get like a beige netural color or some dark red purple color..... any suggestions would be helpful or if you could perhaps direct me towards some bedroom pictures that have different wall colors for inspiration...thank you.

Answer 1

In my opinion going darker on the walls would be a no, no. Since your furniture will have a nice dark cherry stain. You can go with the trim being a darker color choice something that would compliment the cherry stain like a dark burgundy or a dark blue/gray. For the walls go light but in the same color scheme, and I mean light or you may try a nice light cream color. It would be helpful to know what your bed spread color and curtian fabrics are as well. Go to the paint department and get the free color-chips to take back home and match for your final decision!
Good luck and remember to just have fun with it! Feel the colors you will be living with, don't think about it too much!

Answer 2

Am i right in assuming you bought your paint from B&Q or Wickes or such like? If this is the case then the paint they sell is very weak and watery - even their Dulux range. The only thing you can do is go to a professional paint or decorating supplier and ask them for Dulux Trade. You will find it is much thicker and covers better. Paint one or two coats with this and you will not see any more blue guaranteed. One more tip - leave it a day to dry out before you paint 2nd coat. If you paint 2-3 coats in one day it will not work as well. Do not use a primer at this stage as the first coat you painted acted as a primer. I would not use PVA on the walls as it will form a skin. Using cheap paint will cost more in the long run. Have fun!

Answer 3

If it is your bedroom, choose a dark colour and preferably deep blue. It is good for health as well - keeps your vibes just right during sleep hours.

Green walls, or green-blue walls look really great with cherry wood.
