Stupid question?

Question

would painting one wall black in my room look weird?
and does anyone know any good decorating room sites?

okay the other colours would be a light purple , lime green , red
(but not all three)

Answer 1

No it would not look weird at all.
Depending upon your personal style you could choose a few different options.
The first being a modern high end look and the second being a more funky artistic melange/mix.
For the first room I would paint the 3 remaining walls in a silvery grey colour. The trim work,doors and ceiling would be in a warm white, to play up to and dramatize the Matt black painted wall.
I would incorporate these next three elements consistently throughout the space: glass and crystal, silver metal-(stainless Steele), and a combination of dark and cream furniture.
The fabric choices should be a mixture of stripes,circular patterns and well executed plaids and incorporate florals or fauna for a woman, and bold graphics for a male. (cushions,drapes,chair seats and if in your bedroom, bedding with crisp white sheets with a black profile around the edges.
Fabrics should be of different weaves and textures to create a layering effect with visual and tactile interest. ex; Material: Silk,fine wool,cotton,etc.Texture: nubby,soft,smooth and raised fabrics
Your lamps should be of brushed stainless or glass bases with black shades. You could have a modern silver pendant lamp hanging from the ceiling or a cream chandelier,again with black shades.
If you allergy permits, a nice simple biege rug with a black border.
After all this is accomplished you would need to purchase the same stlye and colour of frames for artwork that you love. They do not have to be as monochromatic as is the theme of this type of room.
Stripes in an alternating matt shiney finish would look great in this room too.
Stencils like these in either decor would look great. Very graphic and well done.http://www.stencil-library.com/

For Room version two:
Black matt wall,ceiling and trim work. The three remaining walls, in your choice of ethier a grey mauve,silvery blue or rustic orange.
From there, your Picture frames are black with bolder and brighter pieces of art work.
Your rug will have the colours that are in your art work and will co-ordinate with your lamps and other do dads and objects in your space.
Your fabrics should not be the focal point in this situation, you art work should be.
So keep them as close as possible to the colour of your wall on which it will be near. ie: black fabrics / black wall and so on.
The Texture rule/suggestion applies to this scenario as well.
You can incorporate Plastic,plexi-glass various metals( silver and black or coloured) and coloured glass into the room.
So your table lamps,vases and decor would be of these materials,
Lampshades can still be black to retain some cohesion in the room.
Furniture is nuetral to show case the more artistic elements in the room, nothing too light though.

Answer 2

No it wouldn't. Especially if you paint the rest of the walls a cream or something similar . It gives the room contrast and if you decorate your room with bold colours like maroon, forest green, dark orange, and even dark purple it gives the room a warm and handsome appearance.
Try using oriental art as inspiration.

Make sure, however you put some form of modern or abstract art on the black wall, and if it's your bedroom, face your bed away from the wall (the head of the bed should be against the black wall)
Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer 3

When my daughter was around nine or ten we were about to paint her bedroom and her adjoining bathroom and she was having problem making up her mind among a half-dozen colors (they varied from light purple to blue to orange to green and off-white).

Finally, I simply asked her "Why choose at all? Why not use all the colors you like?"

We ended up painting all four walls in the bedroom and the bathroom (as well as both room ceilings) different colors.

The point I'm making here is that it's your room. There really isn't a right or wrong color as long as you're happy with the effects and can live with your choices. And, of equal importance, it's your room. If you get tired of the color or aren't happy with the results you can always re-paint it.

Answer 4

not stupid, ive seen it done. not with black, but other colors. it makes the wall pop. and its a good way to make a statement without a) lots of paint and b) painting a whole room black, which is just kind of dark.

id go for it!

Answer 5

Hmmm, undecided. 11. Proctober 12. somewhat adult men have not got beards, do they?

Answer 6

well .. painting one wall black in a room and using a bright color on the other wall can look pretty bad, cuz black makes ur room smaller and bright colors make ur room bigger, so it'll make ur room look funny. if ur a teeb, check out pbteen.com, and if ur an adult, check out potterybarn.com. those have awesome furniture and room ideas. its expensive, but the furniture will last for 10+ years.

Answer 7

it would look great as long as you are careful with what you do with other walls, one other colour preferable. Black and white photos look cool on a black wall background especially lots together

Answer 8

I've painted my ceelling, and sticked fluorescent stars, its looks great, i dont use central light but instead have several little spots-light where i need them.
before starting anything out, take a piece of paper and make your room in whatever color you want, see the preview and decide.
Go ahead, let your imagination play.

Answer 9

I don't think so! I would check out Sherwin-Williams.com I just painted several rooms in my casa and I used their site to see how colors looked together.

BEST OF LUCK!!!

Answer 10

not at all, its called an accent wall. black ceilings are sweet too... have to walls the same color , and the other two, a different color.... have fun
