What bedroom colours should i go for?

Question

Im 14 years old and we're moving into a new house so i need to pick the colours of my bedroom. I dont want pink. My favourite colour is teal but im not sure if i want my room that colour. I want deep, bold, statement colours. Im only going to paint one wall a bright colour and keep the rest neutral. But i dont want a really mechanical room where EVERYTHING is red or blue or green, i want accent colours too but i just cant decide. Does anyone have any interesting colour coordinations that i could use? I spend alot of time in my bedroom and have solid wood (light) furniture, with wooden floors. Thanx

lol. its nothing about "cool" its my bedroom, for all anyone cares i could paint it all black.

Answer 1

A bedroom is where you lay your heart open to the stillness of thought and night.

Tranquil colours are what you need, such as pale green. You could give it a "statement" by marbling with magnolia.

As you have light wood furniture, the pale green would go well and give a sort of feel of nature. Again a peaceful blend.

But, what do I know? It may not be "cool" for a 14 yr old to have a calming bedroom.

Answer 2

I think you could definatly use a teal blue. But in a bedroom I would lean more towards a robins egg or tiffany's box blue. Its not a pastel but it's not a really deep dark color. As long as you have a lot of light in that room, you should be fine. It would look beautiful with your light wood furniture. Also, you could add buttery yellows and creamy neutrals as accents and it would feel very beachy and airy.

Another way you could do it is use a tiffany's box blue and a light grassy green with your light wood. Either way I love adding live plants to any room. I think it brings color and life into a space.

Good luck! Hope I was of some help!

u have a lots of answers & they r all good answers. But I have to agree... u'r a teen..so go w/ the pop! If u like the pop colors, then do it. If u don't want u'r wall teal then use it as accents for pillows/bedspread/curtains/chairs/frames/things of that nature. Now lets' c what would go w/ teal... lilac/lavender/dusty purple/... blues....black....oranges/reds... look at a color chart. Y not try something different as a faux finish. 1 wall or 2... make the wall that u walk into u'r room that u c the vocal pt. U could stripe it w/ the colors u may use. OR sponge it...OR comb it... IF u don't like it., my moto.. u can always paint over it.
Like some of the others say, chose a bedspread or a rug or chair & pick colors from that. If u'r folks r kewl about it, go w/ POP

I think that for you light airy happy colours are most suitable. For that reason I recommend tangerine for your one bright wall and splashes of accent here and there. For the remaining walls a very light ochre colour would be suitable.

Ochre has so much to offer. It contains a lot of yellow with a bit of earth. It naturally fits in with the present trend towards environmentally friendly materials. It looks fabulous with light wood furniture.

Don't paint your ceiling pure white, give it a very light blue tinge, hint of of azure.

An ethnic bedspread with all those patchwork colours would really set give the whole decor a lift and make the room look light and friendly.

Answer 5

You say you have wooden floors. Why don't you find a rug that you really really like, and then pick your accent colours out of that? Or use cushions in the same way if a rug is out of your budget?

I often find it's easiest to find an accessory and work up from that because then you have a definite point of reference, rather than trying to find accessories to match your paint colours.

Answer 6

I'd suggest going shopping for a bedspread or rug first. Find something you really love and then pick the neutral and statement colour for the walls out of that.

Answer 7

If your mum doesn't object to you having vibrant colours you go for em! Never mind that bedrooms are supposed to be restful, you are a teenager and there is plenty of time for resting when you are an old f@rt like me! Enjoy yourself while you are young, I wish I could have picked my bedroom colours when I was your age. We had boring magnolia and mushroom when I was a lass - duh! I like Aubergine as an accent wall with mint green it has the WOW factor and isn't too OTT! Good luck pet. x

Answer 8

Select a new bedspread or new curtains in a fabric you love and choose the colors from that.
Teal is restful. Restful colors on wall and more intense colors for accent (pillows etc.)works great. What you like is what is best ..

Answer 9

My bedrooms a vibrant orange with reds and yellows, but considering your furniture why dont you go for blues and greens, like the ocean? it would be calming, serene, and tranquil, great for a room where your meant to relax.

I think maybe you can bick one base coulor. for example Blue you paint each wall a diffrent shade maybe like dark blue,skyblue,babyblue,teal or aquamarine. each wall could be a diffrent shade but you should go with waht your mind tells you.
