I am trying to figure out what color to paint my bedroom and bathroom?

Question

They are connected. There is one window in each room. The bathroom is very big. Probably bigger than the bedroom. One wall of the bedroom is sliding mirror doors on our closet. I bought a border from the Longaberger company called botanical fields. I plan to put it around the middle of the wall. It is a floral print with a scalloped edge on the bottom. The colors it in are greens, grays, pinks, purples, golds. The linoleum in my bathroom is white with some peach and lavender. My bedroom carpet is cream. I am going to need ideas for curtains in both rooms and for a comforter. The bedroom window is wider than a normal window and a little shorter. The bathroom window is regular size but has a arched glass piece above the window. I wasn't sure whether to paint the walls all one color or do one color above the border and one color below of if I should do both rooms the same color or different color. The border has kind of a basket weave print under the flowers and I am going to use a piece of a white picket fence for my headboard. I hope I have given enough info. Any help will be appreciated.

It sounds like you could do a great garden retreat theme in your rooms!
Let's start with the windows! The window in the bedroom area would look great with either a cornice box made from untreated wood or vinyl lattice attached over the window or a flat lattice panel attached from the bottom of the window down to the baseboard. If you did the cornice box look, you could attach sage or light green sheer panels inside the box using a staple gun or hide the rod under the box. If you wanted to use the lattice under the window, some funky terra cotta pots attached as scarf holders (use the drain hole to attach to wall with a screw and stuff the inside with flowers). Drape 2 window scarves in colors in your border sort of twisting as they fall and puddling on the floor. This treatment can be carried into the bathroom, but not the box, you could take a piece of sheer fabric twice the length of arched window and knot it in the middle, put the knot in the middle lower portion of the arch and "fan" the ends out attaching discreetly with staples.
As for a comforter, there are some new really plush white or ivory eyelet comforters or duvet covers that look soft and airy. Lavender damask would also look great! You could weave a floral garland through the pickets of the headboard to carry the theme of the border down.
If you are using the border like a chair rail the general rule that we use is if there are more dark colors in the border, paint the bottom at least 2 shades darker than the top treatment and vice versa. This usually makes the visual division blend well.

Bedrooms are typically low traffic rooms; therefore they do not require the same level of durability for paint finishes, as do other areas of the home. Flats, eggshells or soft sheens are all appropriate paints for the bedroom. The human eye can distinguish about 7 million different colors. This can make finding just the right color pretty daunting. Knowing just a little about color—and the classic color wheel—can really help you make your color decisions. You'll be able to come up with many bedroom painting ideas.

The Primaries. All colors are made up of three primaries—red, blue and yellow.

The Secondaries. When you combine the primaries, you get the three secondary colors: Orange, green and purple.

The Tertiaries. Then, when you combine each secondary with its neighboring primary, you get the six tertiary colors — and the familiar 12-spoke color wheel.

Rule One: Family is Always Welcome. Most colors look great with shades from the same family as themselves—reds go with other reds, greens with greens. These are the popular monochromatic schemes, all drawn from a single color.

Rule Two: Next Door Neighbors are Friends. You can also use colors from next door on the color wheel—in the case of red, that's orange and violet. These are called analogous schemes.

Rule Three: Opposites Attract. Every color has a natural complement on the opposite side of the color wheel— that's why red and green look so good together. These are complementary color schemes. Warm colors have cool complements while cool colors have warm complements.

When it comes to decorating, choosing paint color can really be a challenge. While you may feel that there are so many choices you're bound to find the right one, you may end up feeling that there are so many choices you don't know where to start!

The tips here will really help you if you feel stumped by this important choice. After all, the paint color will set the tone for the room.

Be Patient
It's great to collect paint chips when planning a room, but hold off making final choices until you've developed an overall room scheme. Paint is available in literally an infinite array of colors and is the most versatile element of your room decor, the easiest to change, and the least expensive. Get ideas but make the final decision after rugs, wallpaper, and fabrics are finalized.
